Here is the latest info on V12VR winter tyres, within an updated section of the official site

http://www.astonmartin.com/cars/aston-martin-acces...

So let's get this straight.
-The standard wheel & tyre is the same for both coupe & roadster (other than wheel colour)
-But the non-corsa zeros are fine on the coupe, however not on the roadster (one of our forum members with a V12VR persuaded his dealer to fit the 'non-corsa' zeros, but that was not done at the factory)
-And the coupe & the roadster both have the same winter tyre (same model, same size) but each use a different wheel - the coupe uses the lightest wheel available on the V8/V8S however the roadster uses the standard ('V' spoke) wheel on the V8S. However they did let a load of journos take a V12VR press car out a few months ago, in winter, using the coupe winter wheel/tyre

Sounds completely made up to me !
