New Tire for N420 Vantage

My TPMS said my back driver side tire was low. Upon inspection I found a nail in the tire...ugh! A quick stop over to the tire shop hoping it could be patched....well....it was too close to the sidewall so I had to get a new tire. Let's just say Aston puts a great set of tires on these cars because it ended up being $400.00 just for 1 tire!

The one thing I did notice was the N420's back tires are 275....but a normal Vantage pulls up in the computer as 285. Does anyone know why the N420 wouldn't has as wide as tires as a normal Vantage?

Normal Vantage rears are 275s. The 285s are an optional size, as per the manual.

I'm really curious to hear your impressions of the Super Sports, zambono. I'm a few kliks away from needing new tires, and the SS seem to be the way to go. are you running stock rims? What size's did you go for? 245 / 275?
