Tires for '06 DB9

Hello, I own a '06 Aston Martin DB9 and the time has come to put some new rubber on it. I do not drive the car fast and only have about 12k miles on it since new. It came stock with Bridgestone Potenza 235/40ZR19 in the front and 275/35ZR19 in the rear. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should replace with? Same......Michelin......another brand?
Thanks,
Tom

I would go with the Michelin's from Tirerack. A much better tire IMO although the Potenza's are not bad, I just get more mileage out of Michelin's it seems.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports would be the way to go. Very smooth and quiet ride with excellent wet weather traction and tread life. Plus, since the tires are asymmetrical you can cross them side to side to help with tire life.

^^^^ Same here. Although given the choice I would rather have the Michelins. Either is better than the stock Potenzas.
