Pneus Jaguar 420
Jaguar 420
- La berline Jaguar 420 a été l'une des premières Jaguar à équiper de série des pneus radiaux.
- Le 420 équipait le 185R15 Dunlop SP41 qui n'est plus fabriqué.
- À l'époque, le pneu radial emblématique était le 185VR15 Pirelli Cinturato, qui, selon nous, est toujours le meilleur pneu pour un 420.
- Il existe un Dunlop 185VR15 Aquajet, qui est un pneu plus récent. Cependant, nous pensons que le Pirelli est le pneu à recommander.
- Pour ces pneus, la chambre à air Michelin 15F Offset Valve sera la meilleure solution.

History of the Jaguar 420
The Jaguar 420 was unveiled at the London Motor Show in October 1966 and built for two years as the pinnacle of a series of compact sporty saloons supplied by Jaguar during the decade, all of which had the same wheelbase. The 420, which was based on the Jaguar S-Type, priced roughly £200 more than that model, thereby killing consumer interest in it, but the S-Type continued to be offered alongside the 420/Sovereign until both were displaced by the Jaguar XJ6 late in 1968.
The 420's 4.2-liter XK engine was outfitted with a straight port cylinder head with 3/8-inch lift cams. Compression ratios of 7:1, 8:1, and 9:1 could be utilised based on local fuel quality, with the difference achieved by modifying the crown design of the pistons. The engine was supplied by two carburettors and produced a reported 245 bhp gross at 5,500 rpm, 20 horsepower less than the 420G and E-triple-carburettor Type's version. The engine's maximum torque of 283 lb-ft was nearly identical to that of the triple-carburettor variant, although it was attained at 3,750 rpm rather than 4,000 rpm.
