Can any of those lucky enough to have their I Pace already tell me what tires come standard on the 20 inch rims? I can't find anything in Jag's literature.

Mine came with Goodyear 245/50 R20 105V All Season
I’ve been buying tires for 40 years. Every brand has ‘good’ and ‘bad’ tires. Not every Michelin tire is the best and not every Goodyear tire is the worst. I’ll withhold judgment on the tires that are on my car until I’ve got a few more miles on them. In my experience, TireRack does a pretty good job of reviewing tires and the user feedback is generally helpful.Mine came with Goodyear 245/50 R20 105V All Season
Ugh. Sorry. GY < Pirelli < Michelin. I've tried no less than a dozen tire brands and models on my sports cars & SUVs over the past decade or so...I've found that the Michelins are the best by far; don't think I would ever get GYs, but they'll eventually wear out and you can replace them with another brand.

Yeah, go look on the Internet for reviews on Michelin Pilot Super Sports and variants. I've had many Pirelli, Falken, GY, Bridgestone, BF GoodRich, Continental, etc. tires on my previous Porsche Macan Turbo, MB AMG, & BMW. My 700HP/TQ GT-R wears only the Michelin Pilot SS now; all others are crap on the GT-R, imho. In fact, after the horrible Bridgestone runflats that came with the GT-R wore out, I switched to the Michelin Pilot SS and never looked back. :grin2:I’ve been buying tires for 40 years.

Don't you want tires that have less rolling resistance for maximum range?
Looks like I'm getting the same (18" wheels).I just checked my order. It says "Tyres Pirelli," "235/65R18 LRR All Terrain." I guess LRR means low rolling resistance.

Don't know specifically about the 20" wheels, but I know my I-Pace with the 22" wheels is coming equipped with Pirelli P-Zero tires; I assume the Pirelli P-Zero tire is the standard summer tire on all USA bound I-Paces. But I could be incorrect. FWIW - when my Pirelli's wear out, I will likely go with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (which have as good if not better grip, better traction in rain and longer tread wear); not a huge fan of the soft Pirelli's.
I'm curious what kind of range your getting with your 22" rims.

I'll let you know when I actually get my car, lol. [img= class=inlineimg]https://www.i-paceforum.com/forum/images/I-PaceForum/smilies/tango_face_wink.png[/img] It was supposed to be delivered at the beginning of November, then it became mid November after arriving at the GA Port on 11/3/18 and now after getting hung up at the Port and something with the driver's seat track requiring a repair (like a recall or something?) ahead of delivery, the latest status shows it going on a transport truck tomorrow, Thurs, 11/29/18 and it being delivered to my Jaguar dealer on Fri, 11/30/18. If that happens, I will take delivery on the vehicle either on Sat, 12/1/18 or Mon, 12/3/18.
Guessing the 22" wheels only make a negligible difference in the vehicle's range but we will see. From what I've been reading, it seems that the colder weather degrades the vehicle's range more than anything. Luckily for me, I'm in South Florida and today is the coldest day it's been all year...low of 46 degrees F and a high of 60 degrees F but it's supposed to be back in the 70's tomorrow.

The more I have been driving the Goodyears on the snow/ice, the less I like them. Very poor traction overall. They aren't bad in fresh snow, but packed snow and ice they are downright horrible. I just may swap them out before winter is over.I’ve been buying tires for 40 years. Every brand has ‘good’ and ‘bad’ tires.

The specific model of tire that my car has are the Goodyear Eagle Sport. The 245/50 R20 105V appears to be a 'new' tire made for Jaguar. For what it's worth, the UTQG is 560/A/A. In the limited driving I have done with snow on the road so far they seem to be 'ok', but not great, as far as traction is concerned. This model of tire does have good ratings by TireRack, including the user reviews.
Also, it does not appear Michelin makes a Pilot series tire in this size yet.
