2009 Jaguar XJ — Super V8 Portfolio

The 2009 Jaguar XJ Super V8 Portfolio came from the factory equipped with 255/35R20 tires. If your vehicle has since been fitted with aftermarket or upsized wheels, your actual tire size may no longer match this factory spec — always confirm against your door placard before buying.

What this size means for your Jaguar XJ

On the 2009 Jaguar XJ Super V8 Portfolio, the factory 255/35R20 measures about 27″ in overall diameter with a 89.3 mm (3.5″) sidewall, and completes roughly 746 revolutions per mile. Its 35-series aspect ratio gives an ultra-low-profile, performance-oriented sidewall that favors steering precision over ride cushioning. In tire terms it is a large-diameter fitment.

On a vehicle of this age, the Jaguar XJ may have been refitted with a slightly different replacement size somewhere in its life, so check the current sidewall — not just the factory spec — before buying.

How to read a tire size

A tire size like 225/45R17 breaks down into three parts: the first number is the section width in millimeters (the tire's width from sidewall to sidewall), the second is the aspect ratio — the sidewall's height as a percentage of that width — and the number after the "R" is the rim diameter in inches. A letter prefix (P or LT) indicates Passenger or Light Truck construction; its absence usually means Euro-metric sizing.

Some trucks and off-road tires instead use "flotation" sizing, like 37X12.50R17 — here the numbers are the tire's overall diameter and width in inches directly, with the rim diameter last.

Always verify against the tire information placard on your driver's-side door jamb or your owner's manual before purchasing — tire size can vary by factory option package even within the same trim.
