Fitted two fronts them as a replacement for some worn P6000s. What an improvement. Much more accurate steering, loads of grip with no drama, and a much more secure feel. Much quieter on road noise, too.
The Back tyres are next. Not many miles yet but definitely good!

Earlier I wrote of my problems with the TZ 100 tyres On my S type Jaguar being noisy on smooth roads particularly from the rear, in my cars case the left rear.
Well I now owe the Firestone TZ100 a big apology, getting ever more frustrated with the noise (local mechanic could find no mechanical fault causing said noise)I took the Jag to the Main Jaguar dealership.
The Jaguar technician found the fault in no time,it was not the tyres causing the noise but the right rear wheel bearing! So TZ 100'S I truely sorry!.The moral of the story is even though the main dealerships charge like a wounded bull for their services, they do save you a lot of grief in the long run.

was reluctant to fit these to my jag 3-0,and only been on 4 months to date, but they have been better than expected. much better than previous ZZ3's. Bit noisy and stiffer (97 load rating) and not the best in the wet,but predictable in the dry even on the limit- no sudden surprises! They have been at 130+mph (autobahn) and were steady and felt okay even with some hurried braking (dry)- too soon to judge wear. overall seem good value as they were cheap and my service guy recommended them as he also uses them. Don't know yet whether I will buy again.Will visit this review again next year to possibly update.

Fitted these as a cheap option whilst trying to sort out an ongoing suspension tracking problem that had cost me 4 new avons in 13 months. Problem finally sorted and pz900's still in place. Used them at high speed and in various conditions and loads and have not been disappointed, especially the cost £320 for 4 tires all fitted + balanced. Not sure yet for wear life and if I would buy again. Down side - A VERY NOISY TYRE.

Hi Tyres are actually Firestone Firehawk TZ100 (not shown on list)Tyres are generally good but road noise from the rear is unacceptable.Had one tyre replaced but unacceptable noise returned after 1000 km.Had no road noise from the original pirelli 6000's.

I drive a Jaguar S type 3.0, Pirelli tyres do slip in wet conditions, at first I thought because I did not know the road or something to do with my driving skills in wet conditions, but I realise its the tryres, with Pirelli tyres be more careful when driving on wet surfaces.

Full marks all round. So quiet on most road surfaces and a real feeling of grip.
Precise handling and total confidence.
Brilliant, so glad I waited for them to become available.
