I need to replace one rear tyre, but I'm not sure what spec the current P Zero is and I want to make sure they match along the axle.
How can you tell what spec your tyres are?
How to tell if you have Jag, AM or generic spec tyres?
Look around the outside of the tyre wall, just after the 'Pirelli' iirc. There will be 1-3 letters J or JRS = Jaguar, AMS= Aston Martin
Make sure it doesn't have N0/1/2/3 as N = Porsche.

Assume it's not a good idea to mix along the same axle? I know it's a big no no to mix tyres along the same axle, but are the differences enough between grades for this to be an issue?
Basically I need one rear, I'm thinking of getting a part worn to make do until they both need changing and I can put Michelins on.

Having had a rather somewhat ‘lively’ drive at 7:30am today, I think I may need some new rears.
I’m down to 5mm, but even in rain mode and only slightly damp roads it was not an enjoyable ride at times.
Anyway, I’ve scoured the outside of my tyres and I can’t see any reference to Jaguar, AM or even an N number on them!
Would love to put Michelin’s on all four corners, but the fronts are very new (think they were put on by the dealer pre sale)

I'd be inclined to put Michelins on the rears, where grip is more important then you can happily stick with them when the fronts give out.
Whatever you do, if you stick with Pirelli, make sure they are NOT 'N0/N1/N2' (Porsche). AMS marked are fine and what the dealer swapped my N0 marked rears for when I complained that the car was trying to kill me at the merest hint of throttle.

I have found the p zero tyre terrible in the damp/wet, they really are a summer tyre, love the way Jaguar say they are summer tyres but don’t officially give a winter tyre fit. Second set of wheels with pilot or something which grips in the wet are needed.

Honestly I would never dream of putting a part worn tyre on any car, especially a high performance sports car.M@r]{ wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2017 9:06 am Assume it's not a good idea to mix along the same axle?

Ask yourself where that tyre came from and its history? It's likely to have been on a crashed car or could have pinched cords if driven on a kerb, etc. Do you really want to do that??
For c£500 stick a pair of Michelin 4S on
