I have the Michelin PS 4S tires on both my Astons as well as other cars. They are the best option out there. Great grip and smooth quiet ride. And yes I have had Bridgestone, P Zeros etc.

 

update:
my 50 plus year "go cheap or go home" philosophy on tire buying caught up with me. I'll admit it...

a persistent vibration at 60+ MPH has plagued me for about a year before and after buying budget tires for my new-to-me 2007 vantage. i figured a vibration in the steering wheel (existing from the time i purchased the car in 2019?) was from either flat-spotted tires from sitting for long periods of time or possibly an alignment problem. so i bought new, admittedly cheap tires and had the car aligned. turns out the new budget tires were not round. arrrrgh!

so after a year's worth of pointless re-balancing attempts and a couple of entirely unnecessary new-to-me front wheels, and eventually finding a tire shop to use a "road force" balancing machine to rebalance the tires for the umpteenth time since purchasing them, the shop told me the tires did not reach the minimum level of roundness to even balance them with the machine. this did not really surprise me though, the thought had crossed my mind a number of times, usually after another failed attempt at fixing the problem. anyway, i bought a new set of pirelli p 0's and now all is fine.

apparently, my GCOGH philosophy is only valid up to a point. i suspect that my previous vehicles (8 or 9) that had 16" or smaller rims, commensurately taller sidewalls and lacked rack and pinion steering were not as sensitive as the vantage.

i'm posting this because i felt obligated to "come clean". ...live and learn... although i saved a bundle by buying budget tires (Big-O's) last year for my 2001 dodge ram. in fact, it drives smoother on the highway than the vantage, even with the new pirellis on it!

BTW AFX, good choice.

 

FYI, according to Tirerack testing on their BMW F30, Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate and Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 both pulled 0.93g dry and 0.78/0.76g wet respectively, which compares favorably to an older Max Perf. Summer like the Bridgestone S-04 at 0.89g dry 0.75g wet, and pretty much matches the Pilot Sport 4S's 0.97g dry 0.75g wet. I bought my car with nearly new Pilot Sport 4S installed, but I plan to switch to AS4 or whatever the best all season is then when these reach the end of their calendar aging life. I know people use summer tires below 40F, but you're not supposed to while the all seasons give up almost no grip and work pretty well even in snow.

 

The tire shop that I buy my tires recommended all season pilots. He said that the all season tire don’t flat spot as much. If you car doesn’t get driven often the all season tires are a good choice. I have had Michelin Pilot A3S tires on my SL55 for a few years now and the don’t seem to flat spot anywhere near as much as the performance tires. I only put about 600 miles a year on the SL.

 

Beautiful car. I would keep an eye out for a 2nd set of wheels (new or used) and mount winter tires on them. I spend a lot of time & years in RTP and know how it gets in the winter.

Ebay has a lot Vantage wheels that show up and your AM dealer may have a used set laying around.

Seems like the whole sports car world is hot on the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

 

brightoncorgi. I've got two 19" front rims for a 2007 vantage v8 that i'll sell at a good price. contact me if interested. i bought them thinking that my front end vibration might have been caused by out of round wheels. it was the new tires not the wheels.
