2009 Jaguar XF Supercharged Long Term Update 4

With just under 12,000 miles on the XF, the Jag's rear Pirellis indicated they'd had their fair share of aggressive launches and cornering. So we decided to try a set of Falken's ultra-high-performance FK452 tires, which promise precise handling and low noise. So far, they're performing as advertised, delivering no perceptible drop-off from the OE PZeros.

Assistant Web producer Nate Martinez took the XF on a trip to San Diego and fell in love with "the chic interior details. I can see how the retractable vents and gearshift knob could be too much for some, but they do well for me. They're fresh appointments that set this Jag apart. They're also pretty cool little treats with which you can impress your hot date or best buddies."
