Jaguar S-Type Tire Sizes and Rim Dimensions by Model Year and Trim
The Jaguar S-Type features varied tire size markings across different model years and trims. Standard base trims typically use narrower tires on rims ranging from 16 to 18 inches in diameter, while sportier trims often come with wider rims to enhance performance and handling.\n\nFor most Jaguar S-Type models from the late 1990s through the mid-2000s, tire widths generally fall between 215 mm to 245 mm, paired with rim widths between 7 and 8.5 inches. Confirming the exact markings on your tires helps ensure correct replacements and optimal fit.\n\nWhen comparing S-Type trims, check the factory-specified rim width × diameter to match tire sidewall heights properly. Choosing tires that fit the rim width maintains safe handling characteristics and ride comfort. Always consult the owner’s manual or manufacturer guidelines for precise specifications based on your S-Type’s model year and trim.
