WHEELS AND TYRES
Depending on market and model, the XF is available with 17, 18, 19 or 20-inch wheels; the SV8 being the only car in its class to have 20-inch wheels as standard. All are cast in aluminium alloy and every design combines maximum strength with minimum weight. To satisfy Thatcham security stipulations, there are also 20 variations of anti-theft locking nut. All cars for the majority of markets carry the same specification of 18-inch diameter alloy mini-spare.
For major European markets, cars with 17 and 18-inch wheels are fitted with the Jaguar Tyre Repair System as a space and weight-saving alternative to the ‘mini-spare’. This replaces the spare wheel, jack and tool kit, and can effect a temporary repair of any puncture of up to 6mm diameter in the tread area - sealing the hole and re-inflating the tyre to enable the car to be driven to where a permanent repair or replacement can be carried out. When fitted in lieu of a spare wheel, the Jaguar Tyre Repair System liberates an additional 40 litres of stowage space under the boot floor.
