Tyre Cushion Set ??????????

[Tony V12V]

Aston Martin is pleased to announce that the new Aston Martin Tyre Cushion sets are now available. These tyre cushions are designed to prevent flat spots on tyres when parked. Flat spots can create handling problems, ride discomfort and excessive squeaks and rattles.

Suitable for all Aston Martin cars the cushions, designed and manufactured to the highest specifications and standards in Switzerland are made from flexible, heavy duty foam that moulds to the shape of the tyre and evenly supports it across the surface, capable of supporting 2.5 tonnes and tyres up to 500mm wide.

The simplistic design means that the cushions are not only perfect for long term storage but they can also be used on a daily basis as they can be left in position and simply “roll on roll off”.

The cushions are branded with the Aston Martin logo.

Recieved this from a local dealer - minus a price tag of course. Anyone else heard/know about them

That might just have sealed me never buying another Aston Martin again and selling my current one much sooner than anticipated!

Just when I thought the bks that is the Cygnet couldn't be excelled.

From the description they've reinvented the bean bag.

They are just high density foam to thermally insulate the tyre

Can you buy these from a dealer or must you look elsewhere?



Why aren't the people making this st up concentrating on the replacement for the DB9, V8V etc etc?

The government have a very good way of producing them, it's called decarbonisation. Growth industry at the moment in fact!
