We haven't had a decent tyre thread for ages!

This isn't a decent tyre thread, seeing as it sounds like the OP is looking for a non-decent tyre

I think I might need zome stickier ones for the xe. It's a lot easier to get it out of shape on acceleration than the Omega.

Whatever Chris is running should suffice 

What's currently fitted?

Hmm. Dunno. When I drive off in the morning they are black and round enough not to cause any issues, so I haven't looked much.

Pirelli P7's IIRC.

Actually, having done 5 k in it, I should probably check they still have some tread on them.

My XJ doesn't have much more power than your XE Kevin Wood, and I suspect they are a lot wider, but its still a bit tail happy coming out of bends, even on my idea of decent rubber.

Mind you, in this weather with leaves, grime and rain, even the Battlebus goes sideways when taking evasive action when some duffer in a Nissan decides to use the left lane to do a complete U-Turn on a fast roundabout. Don't ask how I know.
