Aston Martin DB9 Tires

Aston Martin DB9 uses four tire sizes across its 2005 to 2016 production span, arranged as staggered front and rear pairs. The 2005 through 2013 19-inch package uses 235/40R19 in front and 275/35R19 in the rear. The 2013 through 2016 20-inch package uses 245/35R20 in front and 295/30R20 in the rear. Every listed option is a radial tire, and the wheel diameters are 19 inches for the early package and 20 inches for the later package.

The practical point is that Aston Martin DB9 does not use a single size at all four corners, so front and rear tires need to be identified as a matched pair. If you are looking at a 2013 car, you need to verify whether it carries the 19-inch or 20-inch wheel set before choosing tires, because both packages appear in that model year.

A 2013 Aston Martin DB9 has four sizes listed because that year includes two different staggered wheel-and-tire packages. One package uses 19-inch wheels with 235/40R19 front and 275/35R19 rear tires. The other uses 20-inch wheels with 245/35R20 front and 295/30R20 rear tires. The split is a wheel diameter change, not an indication that one 2013 Aston Martin DB9 should run all four sizes together.

That means the first step is not choosing a tread pattern or brand, but confirming the wheel diameter already on the car. Once you know whether the car has 19-inch or 20-inch wheels, the correct front and rear pairing becomes straightforward, and you can narrow the choices by brand and tire series from there.

Aston Martin DB9 uses two rim diameters across the years covered here: 19 inches and 20 inches. The 19-inch package appears from 2005 through 2013 and uses 235/40R19 front and 275/35R19 rear tires. The 20-inch package appears from 2013 through 2016 and uses 245/35R20 front and 295/30R20 rear tires. The final number in each tire size is the wheel diameter in inches.

Since 2013 overlaps both packages, wheel diameter is the most important fitment check on that year. A quick check of the tire sidewall or the wheel itself will usually settle the question, and from there you can select the correct staggered pair without mixing 19-inch and 20-inch fitments.

A 2013 Aston Martin DB9 can use one of two complete staggered tire packages. The 19-inch setup is 235/40R19 in front and 275/35R19 in the rear, while the 20-inch setup is 245/35R20 in front and 295/30R20 in the rear. The easiest confirmation point is the wheel diameter, because the tire code ends in 19 or 20 to match the wheel.

After confirming the wheel diameter, check both front and rear sidewalls so you know the car still carries a matched set rather than a mixed assortment from past replacements. That extra step matters on a grand touring car like Aston Martin DB9, where stance, clearance, and handling balance all depend on keeping the correct front-to-rear relationship.

The available Aston Martin DB9 tire options listed here use blackwall sidewalls. That applies across the 19-inch and 20-inch sizes in the current product range, including both BFGoodrich and Nitto offerings. No alternate sidewall styling appears in these listings, so the visual presentation stays consistent with a modern high-performance grand touring look.

For most DB9 owners, that means the buying decision is less about appearance and more about selecting the right size pair, brand, and tire series for the car's wheel package. If presentation matters for a concours-level car, confirm the exact look you want on the vehicle before committing to a full staggered set.

The Aston Martin DB9 tire listings here include products from BFGoodrich and Nitto. BFGoodrich appears across multiple 19-inch and 20-inch sizes with several g-Force series options, while Nitto is represented by the NT555 G2 in both 19-inch rear and 20-inch front fitments. All of these listed choices are radial blackwall performance tires.

That gives DB9 owners a short but useful brand spread to compare within the correct size package. Once you have confirmed whether the car uses the 19-inch or 20-inch setup, the next step is comparing the available series within that size rather than trying to force a size from the other wheel package.

Aston Martin DB9 tires here appear in several distinct series, including BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A, BFGoodrich g-Force Comp 2 AS, BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp 2, and Nitto NT555 G2. All are radial performance tires, but they represent different product families within that category rather than different vintage construction types. The g-Force series offers multiple performance-oriented choices, while the NT555 G2 gives DB9 owners a Nitto alternative in selected sizes.

The important thing is to compare series only after you have the correct front and rear sizes established for your wheel package. A 19-inch DB9 and a 20-inch DB9 may both have performance tire choices available, but the correct fitment starts with the wheel diameter and staggered pairing, not with the series name alone.

An Aston Martin DB9 should be stored in a cool, dry, dark space with the tires kept away from direct sunlight, ozone sources, and large temperature swings. Clean the tires before storage, maintain proper inflation, and avoid leaving the car on damp or contaminated surfaces for long periods. Because DB9 uses low-profile staggered radial tires, flat-spotting and sidewall stress become more noticeable if the car sits for extended periods without attention.

For a collector or seasonal-use DB9, moving the car periodically or using storage supports can help reduce localized loading on the tread. Keep the front and rear positions noted if the tires are removed, since the car uses different sizes at each axle and the staggered arrangement should stay organized during maintenance.

Tires on an Aston Martin DB9 should be inspected regularly even if the car covers limited mileage. Check inflation pressure, sidewall condition, tread wear pattern, and any signs of impact damage or age-related cracking several times during the driving season and before any long trip. On a staggered grand touring car, uneven wear can also point to alignment, suspension, or inflation issues that are easier to correct early.

A practical routine is to inspect the tires at the start of the season, before spirited or extended driving, and whenever the car's ride or steering feel changes. Because the front and rear sizes are different, compare each axle against its own expected wear pattern rather than assuming all four tires should look the same.

Tires on an Aston Martin DB9 should be replaced when age, cracking, impact damage, deformation, or persistent vibration makes them suspect, even if the tread still looks usable. Performance cars often age out tires before they wear them out, especially when mileage is low and the car spends long periods in storage. Any tire showing structural concerns, unusual shoulder wear, or repeated air loss deserves replacement rather than continued use.

The key is to judge the tire as a whole, not by tread depth alone. On DB9, preserving handling balance matters just as much as preserving appearance, so replacing aging tires in correctly matched front and rear sizes is usually the better decision once condition starts to move from cosmetic aging into functional decline.

Aston Martin DB9 used staggered high-performance tire sizing, but the listings here identify the size packages rather than a single original-equipment brand across all years. The 2005 through 2013 package is 235/40R19 front and 275/35R19 rear, while the 2013 through 2016 package is 245/35R20 front and 295/30R20 rear. Those size pairings are the essential starting point when trying to keep the car visually and dynamically close to its intended configuration.

If originality matters, confirm the car's wheel package and compare against factory literature, delivery records, or marque-club references for that exact year and specification. On a modern exotic grand tourer, authentic fitment is usually less about reproducing a vintage sidewall style and more about preserving the correct staggered dimensions and wheel diameter.

Correct tire fitment can affect how an Aston Martin DB9 presents in both enthusiast and judged settings, especially when the wrong wheel diameter or an incorrect front-to-rear pairing alters the car's stance. A DB9 sitting on the proper 19-inch or 20-inch package will generally look more coherent and mechanically appropriate than one wearing mismatched sizes. Even on newer collector cars, fitment errors are often easy to spot.

For owners concerned with preservation value, keeping the correct staggered package is the smartest baseline. If the car is entered in marque events or concours-style judging, use factory references and club guidance for the exact model year so the tire dimensions support the car's originality rather than distracting from it.

The Aston Martin DB9 tire options listed here are blackwall tires, which suit the model's modern grand touring character and factory-era appearance. Unlike earlier collector cars that may invite whitewall or specialty sidewall discussions, DB9 fitment is visually centered on low-profile performance radials with a restrained sidewall presentation. The available blackwall style keeps the emphasis on wheel design and overall stance.

For a restoration or preservation-minded DB9, the main authenticity concern is usually selecting the correct staggered size package for the year and wheel diameter rather than searching for decorative sidewall treatments. If the car is being brought back to a showroom-style look, matching sidewall appearance across all four tires will help the final presentation.

The listed Aston Martin DB9 tires are modern radial road tires in the correct size families for the model, so they are intended for public-road use when fitted in the proper front and rear combination and when the tires themselves are in sound condition. Safety still depends on age, inflation, alignment, and the condition of the car around them. A correct size alone does not overcome neglect or damage.

Before regular driving, make sure the car has a matched staggered set for its wheel package and that each tire is free from cracking, puncture history concerns, or abnormal wear. On a powerful grand touring car like DB9, the margin between a composed car and an unsettled one often comes down to proper tire condition and fitment discipline.

Before driving an Aston Martin DB9, check tire pressures cold, confirm that the front and rear sizes match the wheel package on the car, and inspect for cuts, bulges, uneven wear, or visible aging. Also look for signs that the car may be carrying mixed 19-inch and 20-inch assumptions from prior service history, especially on a 2013 example. Tire condition should be evaluated alongside the wheel condition and basic mechanical readiness of the car.

That quick inspection matters because DB9 uses a staggered setup and low-profile sidewalls, which leave less room for fitment mistakes to hide. If the car has been sitting, ease back into use gradually and pay attention to vibration, tramlining, or steering pull, since those are often early signs that tire service is needed.

An Aston Martin DB9 should only be driven at speeds appropriate to the condition, age, inflation, and specification of the tires actually fitted to the car. The listed products are performance-oriented radial tires, but real-world safe speed always depends on whether the tires are fresh, correctly matched, properly mounted, and free from age-related deterioration. A powerful GT car can outrun poor tire condition very quickly.

The practical approach is to treat tire condition as the governing limit, not the car's capability. If the tires are recently fitted, correctly sized, and thoroughly inspected, the car can be used as intended within normal road conditions; if there is any doubt about age, storage history, or damage, keep speeds conservative until the set is evaluated or replaced.
