Hi, I finally replaced the original tires on my 2000 Jaguar S-Type after 91.7K miles. They still weren't totally bald but as one tire had a flat and I have long road trip to Oregon coming up this week I replaced the original Bridestone Turanzas with 4 new Michelin Pilot Exaltos.

I started running higher pressures after about 45K miles and usually ran them at 42 psi.IMHO , higher pressures do not increase tire wear .
all the best L&S
