What tyres does everyone use?
Mine came with 20 inch Pirelli P-Zero, and I've noticed a very significant and intrusive noise when cruising on rough roads like the M25. Has anyone else noticed this? I think I'll go for a less racy (and hopefully more quiet) set when I change them if this is definitely an issue with the tyres.

P Zeros on my 2019 R also, when they are due for replacement I'll be going down the Mich PS4S or GY F1 route.
My previous 981 Cayman came fitted with P Zeros, and just like with the Jag, they are fine in the dry, but totally lacking of any feedback in the wet.
I can only assume Pirelli are offering Jag, Porsche, et al very tempting pricing.
They were universally detested over on various porky forums, and when mine were due for replacement the PS4S transformed the car.
Stu.

I switched from P Zero's to Michelin PS4S a couple of years ago. Night and day difference in ride quality and grip.

So P-Zeros are probably just for style points with the brand then? I mean I have a friend who wanted to put Pirellis on his Ford Focus because he thought it would be cool. I've previously put Continental PremiumContact 6s on my Astra GTC and it came with Michelins on it, Continentals were absolutely flawless I found.
Seems to be that PilotSport 4s are the way to go now then on the F-Type?

This list rates all the Pirelli tyres very poorly...

I'm likely due new tyres in time for MOT, there's a few different options for Pilot Sport 4S. I see them marked for BMW, Mercedes but no Jaguar marking. Should I just get the tyres that aren't specific to any maker as they're rated for better performance.
How are the Pilot Sport 5 compared to the 4S? I've read they're likely to last longer but have slightly, maybe insignificant, worse performance to the PS4.

PS4Ss are made for the F-Type 20" wheels - what size are yours? I have them on the back, Mercedes marked. I think the PS5s, being new, are slow coming in all the sizes.

I got Mercedes marked tyres for my rears as I couldn't find generic ones. I've heard that AM ones are equally good. There are no Jaguar marked ones, nor incidentally, are there any 295 20" PZeros "J" marked, only 285s.

Good tip, looks like the rears are available in Merc markings - 295/30/20.
