Can you get hold of any winter tyres for a DB9 with a Km 240+ rating?

[m33ufo]

Can you give me a price on 4 tyres:

Pirelli 245/35/zr20 (95y)x2
Pirelli 295/30/zr20 (101y)x2

I assume it would be supply only as I'm in Cardiff?

Do you plan to buy a DBS one part at a time starting with the boots?

[m33ufo]

I would love a DBS but buying one a little at the time may be the only way I'll be able to afford one - maybe if they drop to a more reasonable level in the next couple of years!

For now I think the DBS wheels look stunning on th V8V so am still considering this as an option.

I was offered a set of an 800 mile DBS (wheels only). Unfortunately they are working out to be only a few hundred pounds cheaper than the new option and I'd also have the trouble of locating and arranging for tyres and fitting.

just for the record, my local tyre supplier has quoted me £193 +VAT fitted for rears for my DB9 Potenzas 275/35 19" 96Y which I thought was reasonable

That is good in Surrey the best price was £225 each

Make sure you get the Aston Potenza. The Porsche one has alot of the same numbers but different 'shoulders' to it which cock up the handling. Your Aston dealer can supply you with the correct tyre code if you need it.(May take them a while to find it though!)

I have just replaced my two front tyres. The old ones which were Bridgestone SO2's were worn only on the very outside edge. Any ideas as to why? I have heard that this is a known problem with DB7 Vantage's. Anyone else heard of this?

[verminator]

Fat lot of good this is. Posted this question a month ago, and still no reply.

[rick-derby-]

maybe I can help, first is the wheel alignment, tyre wear on the outside indicates it may be toeing in too much, if you run your hand along the edge in one direction and then in the opposite direction, if the tyre tread feels smooth one way but like steps the other this is a good indication of a tracking problem, if the the tyre is worn on the inside and outside edges this is an indication of an under pressure situation or in reverse if the centre wears out quicker then over pressure, if when running your hand over the edge of the tread it feels like it steps in both direction i would suspect weak shock absorbers, subframe mountings (vee and the front main) can cause wear issues as can camber and caster,

Thanks Rick, will check this out. I got the price of the new tyres down to £150 each which included fitting, balancing and vat.They are the correct Bridgstones. I got them from Chesington tyres in St Leonards on sea East Sussex.
