Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / April 2005X-Type tyre noise
My X-Type is fitted with Pirelli P6000 Powergy tyres, which seem to generate a lot of road noise on most surfaces. Can anyone suggest anything better and quieter? I have the same problem with the 96 VDP I own. The Pirelli 6000's are noisey and a bit rough on the road. I've tried different air pressures with little differences. I've ridden in an older XJ6 with Michelin PILOTs and they seemed to make a world of difference. Then again, it cold be the car. >My X-Type is fitted with Pirelli P6000 Powergy tyres, which seem to >generate a lot of road noise on most surfaces. Can anyone suggest anything >better and quieter? I have 6 cars and 3 of them are Jags. I help friends maintain another 8 Jags including a 2001 XJR. The LAST set of tyres ANY of us would put on these cars are Pirellis. We have all had them and we all dislike them. They wear poorly, they develop flat spots if they sit for more than 3 days, they ride rough (although they handle pretty well). You have to be careful that you get a matched set that are made in the US in order to even start to get a decent quality tyre. Michelins, Firestones and Continental are decent tyres but it is all a matter of personal taste. Webserve > I have the same problem with the 96 VDP I own.
