Writing about the Mohawk M112 given 81% (225-55-16-W)

I've never had a problem with these tyres - my Jaguar XJS 3.6 is a heavy, well balanced, reasonably fast car that sticks to the road in the dry even if I throw it around a roundabout. At £65 per corner they were a bargain. I've seen them for £81 each recently. Being a classic car I don't drive it much in the wet, but I've never noticed any problems on wet or damp roads. Mohawk are the budget brand of Yokohama. Now that tyres are rated for economy/rolling resistance, wet grip and noise it is easy to compare tyres and know what you are buying. I believe that M112 tyres are rated 'E' for economy and 'E' for wet grip - so according to official ratings not the best, but not the worst either.

Writing about the Infinity INF 050 given 99% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 average miles
I bought a set of INF 050 tyres for my car, a 1996 Jaguar XJS.

All I can say is that they are probably the best set of tyres I've ever used on this car.

My previous tyres were Continental and, although good, these are just better, and cheaper!

It is hard to explain but they just do what it says on the box. What else could I ask for?

Great wear and not much noise. In fact, I think that is the first thing I noticed about them.

An added plus is that they look good.

I will probably buy Infinity again in future as I was very pleasantly surprised.

We use these on our restored Jaguars and are very happy with them. Very good performance at a good price. Can't fault them.
