The 185R16 Cinturato is the best tyre for an XK120, XK140 & XK150.

[@tyredout1]

It was the tyre to fit to Sports cars in the 50's and 60's and still often is the best tyre for these cars

Vredenstein Sprint Classic is very good also.

[@deamarus9005]

So what would the XK120 Jabbeke have been fitted with when it did 172mph in October 53? A special Dunlop Racing tyre?

[@ohbetty500]

Jaguar offered 185 x 16 Cinturato as a radial option

[@longstonetyres]

Having done a bit more research iot looks like this wasn't actually the case
