Have a look at the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx listings on this page:

http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl

Two of them have rim protection, 'XL' and are for Jaguar models. The only difference seems to be the 'Z' and £5! Am I missing something fundamental?

I believe in old days ZR was for tyre speed rating over 240kmh(149mph), it has now been superseded by W & Y, in this case Y which is for up to 300kmh(186mph). ZR now is used for high performance tyres meaning they will probably be softer compound with better grip but increased wear and shorter life.
