curious what the best option is for snow (minimal ice) for the factory 7 spoke 19's..

I assume the goodyear eagles my dealer recommended for florida use aren't good below 50F?


not looking to break the bank but i know my rubber compound will get hard and make driving difficult in the winter months when i go to the mountains/etc.

 

would these suffice.. for snow no ice... or would you guys reccomend full winter tires? i feel all season would mean use before snow and slightly after snow before going back to stock.

 

also found, goodyear eagle all season.

pirelli pzero nero all season

 

Any winter tire will be far, far better than a summer tire, which gets rock hard under 35 degrees. Bridgestone Blizzak is the best one on the market for the first 5K miles of new, as they have a special micro-sipe in the top 1/3 of the tire that grabs onto ice like it wasn't even there, but it does wear away. If you insist on taking your Aston into the snow, buy a second set of 18" wheels and mount the tires on them. 18" is the standard wheel size on the car, you can find the wheels cheap and you have less cost on the tires in that size plus more choices.

However, my recommendation is to get a snow car and leave the Aston out of the bad weather. You'll ruin the paint job in driving in those conditions and the salt and subsequent corrosion to the underside of the car is going to make it a mess and absolutely destroy your resale value. You'll lose $ 15K in value on the car and that will buy a lot of snow cars.
