Flat Tire - 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe Long-Term Road Test

The tire pressure warning system on our 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe isn't the good kind. Like our BMW 328, it will tell you when you have a flat and on which tire, but not what the exact tire pressure is.

Why are there so many nails on the roads of California?

Here in IL, I think my last 2 flats were screws though I'm not sure why they are prevalent (for me).

Eh, only $30. That's nothing compared to the cost of replacing those 20" tires. On Tire Rack, you have 2 options, either $1,354 a set (Pilot SS) or Pirelli P Zero for $1,478 a set. That's, of course, not including shipping and installation.

"Turns out 550 horsepower through the rear wheels and monkey-grip from the fronts has a negative impact on tire life."

You are forgetting the impact that not having to buy the tires yourself has on tire life too.

Is it only me who thinks patching a high performance tire, close to the end of life is a bit risky, especially when your driving the car aggressively?

If you're buying a car like this, you shouldn't be worried about tire life whether you pay for the tires or someone else does. If you can't afford tires, you can't afford this car.

Why is it some modern cars STILL don't display the actual tire pressure on a display? I understand from the early days of TPMS some cars only had the idiot light and wouldn't even tell you which tire! The thing is, all this information is available - it just needs to be displayed. Practically all cars have displays screens of some sort so it's just a few lines of software code to enable this. Even my 2006 era Acura displays the PSI reading for each tire.

Agreed. Makes it harder to be vegetarian too. :P
