I didn't see any 225/65r15's really but that would be closer to stock. It's a 1990 XJS Jag-you-whar :)

Yeah there's an H rated General Altimax RT I've had good service from in the past in a 225. Was hoping for that wee bit of extra height, this old car is reeealy low. Is what it is though.

I've had that thought. The BFG Radial TA tread pattern at least looks just like I remember it looking a lot of years ago, maybe it's updated otherwise. I suspect the target market for them and the Cooper are people that want a classical looking tread pattern. I don't know that, but I suspect...

Hankook Kinergy ST?

Yeah those are about all I've found looking around online. It would be nice to have a higher speed rated more performance oriented one just for the handling benefits but the BFG or Cooper will probably be alright. Sure is a bummer with stuff like this on older cars anymore.

At a quick Google I seem to be up the proverbial creek for a decent all season performance tire in this size, eh? It's an old Jaguar. Cooper GT, Radial TA, some odd and end Hankook are all I recognize. Anything else?

I'd really like to put Pennzoil high mileage synthetic in it as I do with the 75K 3L Lebaron and the 250K 04 Town Car, but I don't trust the old chevy mill to not leak like a sieve, even though I know that's technically an old wife's tale, it'd be a bear to fix. I'd feel better if I know the oil...

I'm not opposed to that; I use it in a couple of gas and diesel cars in the fleet, have for ages. One variable is this one is going from living in a semi climate-controlled garage to living outside, over the winter in Oklahoma, it gets pretty chilly. One of the Rotella cars I have I switch to...

At least 200K and seemingly happy and using no oil on plain Rotella 15w40 and whatever filter is handy via the previous owner since 2008. Iron head if it matters. Little lifter noise on cold start, I suspect it does not need that thick an oil (especially in Oklahoma winters) but I'm not prepared...

Doubt it says for an 82, or at least nothing helpful. edit, such as: "use any quality phosphate-free anti-freeze containing eyhylene glycol" Things were a lot simpler in the 80's...

Any reason not to run G48 in an 80's VW diesel? It's had white bottle/blue label Volvo in it for a few years, near as I can tell the two are compatible and I have the G48 on hand.
