That's interesting. A 2001 with Pirelli's. My 2001 came with continental contisports. Are yours the 18" wheel? The conti's I have are 18's

What is the deal with the Pirelli tires wearing out. My 2001 XK8 has 10K miles only and all 4 tires are worn out. No hard driving either. My 1998 XK8 Pirelli tires also sucked but got at least 18K miles.


I didn't have much luck with the original tires....didn't like the ride either......I replaced them with Dunlop Sport 5p245/50zr17 and am very satisfied with the ride and wear....they were recommended by a Jag service person.
