Tire pressure for an E-Type Jaguar ranges from 30-40 PSI depending on the specific model, the type of tires that you decide to fit, and pressure differences for front and rear tires.
To find the ideal tire pressures for your vehicle follow the link to our Tire Pressure Guide.

The E-Type Jaguar aka Jaguar XKE originally fitted crossply, 6.40H15 Dunlop RS5. Later the E-Type moved onto radial 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67, which are still produced today.

Jaguar XKE Tires

XKE or E Type?

To clear any potential confusion, this car is known as the 'Jaguar E Type' or the 'E Type Jag' in the UK, but it was sold in North American markets as the Jaguar XKE. To this end, either term could be used to refer to the same iconic British motor.

XKE Crossply Tires

The XKE was originally outfitted with 6.40H15 Dunlop RS5 crossply tires. Unfortunately, Dunlop no longer produces historic road tires, and there is no alternative crossply tire that we would consider putting to an e-type. Fortunately, another tire was supplied by Jaguar as a fitment for the XKE at the time. Pirelli still offers the original 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 in radial form. This Cinturato tire is still the ideal rubber for any series 1 or 2 XKE, whether it's a 2+2 or the standard coupe.

XKE Radial Tires

A 185 R 15 Michelin XVS would be a fantastic alternative for the E-type Jaguar. This period asymmetric tire allows automobiles of this era to drive in a straight line while cruising at high speeds on our modernized highways.

There is still an 185VR15 Dunlop SP Sport tire available with the original Aquajet tread design. However, this tire is not created by Dunlop, and we feel that the Cinturato or the XVSs would provide a better experience for the driver. The Cinturato is perfect for authenticity, especially on the series 1 E-type, as our research indicates that the SP Sport Aquajet was not produced until 1968.

XKE V12 tires

Again, while the ER/70VR15 Dunlop SP Sport tire with the iconic Aquajet tread pattern is still available, it is not actually manufactured by Dunlop. The Michelin 205/70VR15 XWX or the 205/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P5 are, we believe, the ideal tires for the V12 series 3 E-type Jaguar.

E Type Jaguar Borrani Wire Wheels

Many E Types were outfitted with wire wheels, and Longstone works with the finest in the industry. Ruote Borrani Milano is a leading supplier of wire wheels to a number of other well-known automobile manufacturers, including Ferrari and Maserati. Borrani outperforms all other wire wheel producers in a variety of ways. Borrani wheels weigh approximately 25% less than steel wire wheels since the rims are composed of aluminium, and they are manufactured by hand in Italy to the highest standards. We can't think of a better way to improve the look of your Austin Healey than with a set of Borrani wheels; visit their website by clicking the Borrani link at the top of the page.
