The range of Aston Martin models spans a range of sports cars and special edition models, including those with a classic design and those that are more streamlined and modern in their aesthetic. Some notable models include the Aston Martin Vantage, the Aston Martin DBX, and the Aston Martin Vanquish, which are all still in production today. The Aston Martin DB9 is a flagship model that balances sports car performance with comfort and style, while the DBX707 is an innovative new SUV supercar.
Not only is Aston Martin a vehicle brand synonymous with high-quality and luxury, but it is also one of the brands favoured by fictional character James Bond! Look out for an Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinger – product placement that connects two major British icons on the big screen.
Aston Martin also has a Royal Warrant, granted by King Charles III.
Classic Aston Martin cars are typically fitted with 255/60 VR tyres, which are high-performance tyres for high speed driving and excellent handling. Tyres like the Michelin XWX are good alternatives, though for a classic car aesthetic it is recommended that drivers choose hard rubber and beaded edge tyres.
Tyre size can be found on the sidewall of your old tyres, and in the vehicle handbook. You can also find out more about optimum tyre pressure, load index and speed rating.
It all comes down to driving style, regular car service checks, and tyre maintenance. Keeping on top of tyre tread checks, sidewall inspections, and tyre pressure checks all contribute towards the longevity of tyres, ensuring they remain stable and safe to drive. It is also important to match your vehicle and surrounding climate with your tyre selection. Make sure that you choose tyres to fit the season and your terrain, as well as the vehicle type and your driving style. This could include all season tyres, winter tyres or the best tyres for summer.
