Find Tyres for Aston Martin Rapide

Frequently asked questions

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

• Why does the Aston Martin Rapide have different tyre sizes by year?

  The Aston Martin Rapide has had 2 UK-market generations. Each generation uses a different platform and wheel options, so tyre sizes are not interchangeable across the model's history. Pick the year-correct generation page for accurate fitment data.

• What pressure should the Aston Martin Rapide run?

  The correct pressure for your Aston Martin Rapide is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.

• Do estate and saloon Rapide variants share the same tyres?

  Saloon and estate variants of the Aston Martin Rapide typically share wheel sizes, but estate trims sometimes carry a higher load index for cargo capacity. Check the placard on your specific car.

• What's the legal tread depth for a Aston Martin Rapide in the UK?

  The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing at 3mm for better wet weather safety on the Aston Martin Rapide.

• Is wheel alignment important after fitting new Rapide tyres?

  Yes — a wheel alignment check after fitting new tyres on the Aston Martin Rapide preserves tread life and handling. Most UK fitters offer a quick alignment check; major adjustments (camber/caster) require a four-wheel laser machine.
