Nothing came up as a match for winter tires? I have Bridgestone Blizzak's (AM OEM winter tire) on the Rapide winter wheels and like them. Very good grip and feel in the cold temps. They are not snow tires... Can get just as easily stuck in the snow as the warm weather tires.

I have used a few different brands of high performance winter tires and found them all to be pretty good. Sounds like you won't have much choice, so just get what fits?

For Bridgestone Blizzak, you can try the following size combination for OE 19".
Front: 225/45R19
Rear 275/35R19

Tire rack has winter tires in your OEM size they just don't have a matched set of front to rear. Slim pickings this late in the game. I think you going to find the same with other places. Low stock.

Putting all season tires on any Aston Martin is like wearing a pair of Crocs with a tuxedo.

Better than losing control while cornering in cold weather or rain. Just saying and who would know it's a all season tire.

Wasn't talking about cosmetic appearance as much as performance capabilities.With a finely tuned Aston Martin suspension it is a travesty using tires, as in all-seasons, which are mediocre in any season. It's summer tires, which are better even in the rain than all-seasons, for summer. In winter change to snow/ice tires, they are better on snow/ice than any all-season tire. All-season tires are better known as no-season tires.

Yeah NO, I have summer tires with 12k miles and last Friday I hydroplaned into a curb blowing out one tire and scratching up my rim and tearing my front bumper. Summer tires suck in rain, always have.

12K miles is end of life on summer tires; especially the rears.

Sorry to read you got into an accident.

My Michelin's went over 20k on the front and that was with a bad alignment. Rears look to be about 3/4 of the tread, you must be thinking about Evora's.

I've never had a performance car where the rear tires were what I consider safe after 12K. The fronts last much longer but I generally don't wait to long to swap the fronts if I did the rear. Everyone has their own risk tolerance...

So 3/4 of the tread is not safe or 1/2?

I'd start looking for tires after 1/2 is gone; 3/4 gone for sure. Vantage or Evora tires are not expensive.
