To whoever asked recently - This morning - had to re-boot and lost my letter to them and their letter too. Go to Discount Tires at <http://www.tires.com/> where I bought my new Dunlops or another one - I Just found - Evans/Discount Tires (never heard of them before this minute) at <http://www.discounttires.com/>. Check 'em Both out is what I'd do. The First web site is Very User Friendly - I'm sure the other one will probably be also (?). HUGE difference between Pirelli and Dunlop but Both have the same "V" rating - same quality - Dunlop has a very Slightly harder ride but Much Better Milage too. My 1989 XJ-S HE V-12 Coupe calls for 215's but the PO had put 235's on it and I was Lothe to revert Back to a Small tyre. The Wider ones Do Everything BETTER and RIDE Better - Corner Better too. LOOK so Much Better too - & for That price ... !!! I found out that whatever the "Direct" prices would be the Local dealer will Honour them too - at least here in San Antonio. The $30.00 total UPS delivery for 4 tyres seemed decent to me so I went direct and they came to my front door! Free installation - Free balancing every 6 months for Life ... If you go with the first Discount Tires DO get the "insurance" because Whatever happens to injure your tyres - Whatever you've used - the tyre will be Replaced at No additional charges! What a Deal ... !!! My Choice to Keep the 235's - there's room there. The Pirelli's were $200.00 + and the Dunlops were $73.00. HUGE difference - but Good tyres - Made for Jaguar performance/speed. These people are ALSO very user friendly and Are Experts and Like to be of help. I've never actually Enjoyed dealing with anyone before as Much as I did with Them ... !!! <http://www.tires.com/> Good Luck, Jim Wood - San Antonio, Texas 1989 XJ-S Red HE V-12 Coupe First Place "Driven" / S.
