Rotational Tires

Are the tires rotation on the V8 and V12 Vantage? Or are rear tires bigger?

The rears are wider than the fronts, so you can't rotate them if that's what you're asking.

Is that true in all their cars or just the v8 and v12 vantage?

This applies to all cars. Period. Not exclusive to Aston Martins. The tires are staggered. Since the rears are wider than the front, you cannot rotate.

I just upgraded to the Michelin PSS tires which are not unidirectional, meaning you can rotate by swapping left and right (but of course not front to back). As a side note, the ride is much more comfortable than the stock Potenzas. I recommend the upgrade.
