Daimler Double 6 1972–1997

Daimler Double Six Tyres

The first Daimler Double-6 fitted ER/70R15 or 205/70VR15 tyres. They are the same sized tyre, the measurements are just expressed differently.
We would suggest that the best tyres in the size 205/70R15 are 205/70 R 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN12, 205/70 VR 15 Michelin XWX and 205/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P5.
We would recommend the 205/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P5 for the early Daimler Double-Six because the P5 is the tyre that Jaguar has chosen to homologate for these cars.
For these tyres the Michelin 15F is the correct innertube.
Post 1981 the series 3 Daimler Double-six fitted a half inch wider wheel, and fitted 215/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P5.
The Michelin 15/17H is the correct size of innertube for these tyres.
It wasn’t by accident that Jaguar used the P5. Here is the story of Jaguar testing the P5 on an XJ12.
Our period Innertube Guides suggest that all double 6 models were released on tubeless wheels, so innertubes are not a requirement providing there are no punctures, the tyres are also tubeless, and the wheel rims are in good condition.

Daimler Double Six Sovereign Tyres

We are fortunate to have such a wide range of suitable tyres for a V12 Daimler Double 6 Sovereign, however the 215/70WR15 Pirelli Cinturato P5 carries the ‘J’. Jaguar themselves have tested these tyres and are more than happy to recommend them.
The 215/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P5 was also the original equipment used back in 1979.
This shows that the 215/70 WR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO P5 is the perfect tyre for the Double – 6.

History of the Daimler Double-Six

Built 1972-1983 the Daimler Double-Six took the Jaguar XJ saloon and its exciting V12 and put a Daimler twist on it, with a 5343cc V12 Engine creating an awfully thirsty but incredibly fast and refined drive.
