    You'll have to either get the Michelins from longstone, or I used Coker tire to get bf Goodrich rears and the fronts are a common size. So I'll make a mismatched set for my 87.

    Joey, upgrade the car to 18" 512 tr wheels. Car looks awesome, and a lot of choices. I run Michelin p4s I also have a e-type so have enjoyed your builds on the jag forum.

    I recently found that I had wore my BFGoodrich rears way past the point of replacement. It suddenly got much easier to go sideways :)
    I don't know how much wear they had when I got the car, but after 2 years and 10k miles of hard driving they were done.

    I ordered the BFG rears from Coker and Continental ExtremeContact Sport fronts from TireRack.
    That was ~1/2 the price of the Michelins.
    I'll let you all know how it works out when I get my car back.
    She's in the shop because I failed emissions. My O2 sensors were dead and it was running way rich.

    Hi

    Great news we now have a choice of the 16" tyres for a TestaRossa as Pirelli have made a fresh batch.

    So:-

    Rears 255/50R16 https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/255-50-16.html P-Zero or Pilot Sport

    Fronts 225/50R16 https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/225-50-16.html a much more comon size, but we can match upo the Pilot Sport and the P-Zero is even better because it is a P-Zero system these tyres were made specifically for you. The front tyres are directional and the rear tyres asymmetric. That is very cool

    Image Unavailable, Please Login



    Has anyone got any pictures of their car on the P-Zero system tyres?

    If so could we have a copy to use on our web site.

    A period photo would be even better.

    Is that the same GT Joey that presides over the Long Island Jaguar concours?
