i've been looking for tires for my 99 xjr,which currently has the pirellis. costco has the best prices by far, and their prices include the road hazard warranty. for the michellin pilots, the price per tire is $269, for the bridgestone potenza s03, the price is $208 each. does anyone have any suggestions as to whether these prices are good, and any opinion as whether the michellins are that much better?

thanks

Another good source is tire rack where you can compare prices on line.

I must say, that when it comes to tire, I find dealing with a small local shop much better and they will usually be very close in price and offer good service. Local club members are usually a good source of info on good shops.

I have P Zeros on all my cars and I love them. The grip is pehnomenal. Yes they dont' last 20k but there are no miracles... you want grip... the rubber as tobe soft !

I also tend to stick with what Jaguar chose for these cars as they developed the suspension to work with the tires.
