DBS Superleggera / Tyres

[Whatever123]

So, traction on the standard (badly worn) pzeros is pretty shocking, ive never found pzeros that good anyway..

So, anyone tried any alternatives for better traction?

I recently changed from Cup2s on my AMGGTR to continental contact 7s and have found them pretty comparable to the cup2s in straight line traction but obviously way better in the wet and they look to be lasting well, i dont do track days anymore so it was a good comparison for road use.

So thinking maybe try the conti 7s on the dbss but then Yokohamas ad09 track tyre gets some favourable wet weather reports and they do them in 305/30/21s for the aston, so maybe these?

Any thoughts from other owners? Improving rear traction seems to be the cars only weal point so far, so would be a great difference to make..

A lot of members, myself included went for the PS4S Michelins, I think there is possibly a newer version now? Anyway it was night and day on my Vantage and DBS, I'd be hard pressed to choose another tyre over it.

I’d be interested in this - just got a DBS V and when it comes to replacing tyres I was just going to go for PS4 (or the newer PS5 if suitable sizes are available?). My previous experience of Michelins is very positive.

The new Aston range use versions of the PS5

Continental 7s are a step ahead of PS4S in tyre tests.

Trouble is, the contis aren't available in the standard size for the dbss

You can get MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4s in 355/25R21 though… which gives identical rolling diameter..

I have that size on the Aventador but i think the rims are wider, anyone know the rim width on the dbss? body clearance could be an issue though 5dm increase (2.5cm each side) is quite a jump..

Eta: not a chance as the wheels are 11.5J
