Find Tyres for Aston Martin DBS

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• Where do I find the load index for Aston Martin DBS tyres?

  Load index appears at the end of the tyre size, just before the speed rating — e.g. 91V means load index 91, speed V. Match or exceed the original load index shown on the door placard of your Aston Martin DBS.

• Are all-season tyres a good choice on a Aston Martin DBS?

  For UK drivers, all-season tyres with the 3PMSF symbol can be a sensible compromise on the Aston Martin DBS — particularly if you do mixed mileage and don't want to swap between summer and winter sets twice a year.

• What's the difference between summer and winter tyres for a Aston Martin DBS?

  Winter tyres use a different rubber compound that stays flexible below 7°C, plus deeper sipes for snow and slush grip. For UK Aston Martin DBS drivers in colder regions, dedicated winters or 3PMSF all-seasons can be worthwhile.

• How do I find the right tyres for a Aston Martin DBS?

  Start with the size printed on your existing tyre sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V — and use it as your baseline for the Aston Martin DBS. Match width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating before considering brand or pattern.

• Can I use track-day tyres on a road-driven Aston Martin DBS?

  Many Aston Martin DBS owners use semi-slick or track-focused tyres for events. These typically have shorter tread life on the road and reduced wet grip. Keep a separate road set if you do regular UK commuting.
