By 2015, Aston Martin balanced grand touring tradition with modern performance across a tight but highly specialized range of coupes, a four-door GT, and V8- and V12-powered sports cars. The brand’s styling and road manners remained unmistakably Aston Martin, but tire fitment varied more by model than many buyers expect. Across five 2015 Aston Martin models, ten distinct tire sizes appear, with each model using its own front-and-rear staggered combination rather than sharing one common fitment across the lineup. The first thing to confirm on a 2015 Aston Martin is the exact model, then the front and rear tire sizes, and finally the sidewall style and speed rating that best suit your driving priorities.
Which Tire Size Is Right for Your 2015 Aston Martin
Ten tire sizes are used across 2015 Aston Martin vehicles, and they vary by model rather than being shared across the full range. Every size here is a metric radial, but the real decision still starts with confirming the correct model and whether your car rides on 19-inch or 20-inch wheels before narrowing down sidewall style, brand, and speed rating. Understanding that distinction before choosing a product saves time and helps match the tire to the right Aston Martin platform.
Year(s): 2015|Fit(s): DB9|Construction: Radial|Rim: 20 in
245/35R20 is a radial metric size with a 245-millimeter section width, a 35-series aspect ratio, and fitment for a 20-inch wheel. This DB9-specific size is available from BFGoodrich and Nitto in Blackwall form, with W speed-rated products to 112 mph. It suits owners who need the correct front size for a 2015 Aston Martin DB9 and want a contemporary radial in a low-profile 20-inch format.
295/30R20 is a radial metric size with a 295-millimeter section width, a 30-series aspect ratio, and a 20-inch rim diameter. It is the rear size specific to the 2015 Aston Martin DB9 and pairs with the 245/35R20 front to maintain that model’s staggered setup. Choosing this size means staying with the proper rear fitment for DB9 applications rather than substituting a similar-looking 20-inch rear size from another Aston Martin model.
Year(s): 2015|Fit(s): Rapide|Construction: Radial|Rim: 20 in
245/40R20 is a radial metric size with a 245-millimeter section width, a 40-series aspect ratio, and a 20-inch wheel diameter. This Rapide-specific front size is available from BFGoodrich, Nitto, and Pro-Trac in Blackwall and RWL sidewall styles, with speed ratings that vary by product between W at 112 mph and Y at 186+ mph. It is the right choice for 2015 Aston Martin Rapide owners who need the taller 40-series front profile used on that model, while sidewall style can shift the look from understated to more custom.
Year(s): 2015|Fit(s): Rapide|Construction: Radial|Rim: 20 in
295/35R20 is a radial metric size with a 295-millimeter section width, a 35-series aspect ratio, and fitment for a 20-inch wheel. This size is specific to the 2015 Aston Martin Rapide rear axle and is offered in Blackwall form from Nitto with a W speed rating to 112 mph. It is the proper rear companion to the Rapide’s 245/40R20 front and is intended for buyers matching that model’s staggered 20-inch setup.
Year(s): 2015|Fit(s): V12 Vantage|Construction: Radial|Rim: 19 in
255/35R19 is a radial metric size with a 255-millimeter section width, a 35-series aspect ratio, and a 19-inch rim diameter. This V12 Vantage-specific front size is available from BFGoodrich in Blackwall form, with speed ratings that vary by product between W at 112 mph and Y at 186+ mph. It fits buyers who want the correct 19-inch front sizing for a 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage and who may want to compare speed rating and load-capacity differences within that size before choosing.
295/30R19 is a radial metric size with a 295-millimeter section width, a 30-series aspect ratio, and fitment for a 19-inch wheel. It is the rear size specific to the 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage and completes that model’s staggered 19-inch package. Buyers should choose it when matching the original front-to-rear size relationship used on the V12 Vantage rather than mixing it with 20-inch Aston Martin rear sizes.
Year(s): 2015|Fit(s): V8 Vantage|Construction: Radial|Rim: 19 in
245/40R19 is a radial metric size with a 245-millimeter section width, a 40-series aspect ratio, and a 19-inch wheel diameter. This front size is specific to the 2015 Aston Martin V8 Vantage and is available from BFGoodrich in Blackwall form, with speed ratings that vary by product between W at 112 mph and Y at 186+ mph. It is the correct front fitment for V8 Vantage applications and gives buyers room to compare product tuning within the same basic size.
Year(s): 2015|Fit(s): V8 Vantage|Construction: Radial|Rim: 19 in
285/35R19 is a radial metric size with a 285-millimeter section width, a 35-series aspect ratio, and a 19-inch rim diameter. This rear size is specific to the 2015 Aston Martin V8 Vantage and comes from BFGoodrich and Pro-Trac in Blackwall and RWL styles, with speed ratings that vary by product between W at 112 mph and Y at 186+ mph. It makes sense for owners keeping the V8 Vantage’s proper staggered rear fitment while choosing between a cleaner OE-style black sidewall and a more attention-grabbing white-letter look.
Year(s): 2015|Fit(s): Vanquish|Construction: Radial|Rim: 20 in
255/35R20 is a radial metric size with a 255-millimeter section width, a 35-series aspect ratio, and fitment for a 20-inch wheel. It is the front size specific to the 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish and is available from BFGoodrich and Nitto in Blackwall form, with speed ratings that vary by product between W at 112 mph and Y at 186+ mph. Buyers should choose this size when matching the Vanquish front axle and can then narrow the selection by brand character and speed rating.
Year(s): 2015|Fit(s): Vanquish|Construction: Radial|Rim: 20 in
305/30R20 is a radial metric size with a 305-millimeter section width, a 30-series aspect ratio, and a 20-inch wheel diameter. This Vanquish-specific rear size is available from Nitto and Pro-Trac in Blackwall, RWL, and Redline sidewall styles, with W speed-rated products to 112 mph. It is the correct rear choice for a 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish and offers the widest sidewall-style spread of any size used across the range.
Five Aston Martin models are covered for 2015, and each one uses its own staggered front-and-rear tire combination. That means year and make alone are not enough for tire selection here; you need to identify the exact model before choosing a size, since the lineup spans both 19-inch and 20-inch wheel packages. Select a model below for model-specific fitment history and products.
2015 Aston Martin DB9
The 2015 Aston Martin DB9 was the marque’s elegant V12 grand touring coupe and convertible, blending long-distance refinement with traditional front-engine Aston proportions. Its tires mount on 20-inch wheels, with a staggered front-and-rear setup that separates it from the 19-inch Vantage models and from other 20-inch Astons that use different widths and profiles.
The 2015 Aston Martin Rapide carried Aston Martin styling and V12 character into a four-door grand touring format, aimed at buyers who wanted both performance and rear-seat practicality. Its tires also mount on 20-inch wheels, but the Rapide uses its own taller-profile front and rear sizes rather than sharing DB9 or Vanquish fitments.
The 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage was the harder-edged version of the Vantage formula, pairing the compact sports-car body with Aston Martin’s larger twelve-cylinder character. It rides on 19-inch wheels with a staggered setup, making it distinct from the 20-inch GT cars and from the V8 Vantage’s different front and rear widths.
The 2015 Aston Martin V8 Vantage was the leaner, more compact Aston sports car of the range, known for a more direct and nimble personality than the larger grand tourers. Its tires mount on 19-inch wheels, but its staggered pairing differs from the V12 Vantage, so Vantage buyers still need to confirm which engine variant they own before choosing sizes.
The 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish sat at the sharper end of the brand’s grand touring lineup, with more aggressive bodywork and a flagship feel compared with the DB9. It uses 20-inch wheels with a staggered setup of its own, including the widest rear tire in the 2015 Aston Martin range covered here.
Thirty products are available across ten tire sizes for 2015 Aston Martin vehicles. 245/35R20 has 4 radial Blackwall choices from BFGoodrich and Nitto; 245/40R20 has 5 radial options from BFGoodrich, Nitto, and Pro-Trac in Blackwall and RWL; 295/35R20 has 1 radial Blackwall choice from Nitto; 255/35R19 has 3 radial Blackwall choices from BFGoodrich; 245/40R19 has 3 radial Blackwall choices from BFGoodrich; 285/35R19 has 5 radial options from BFGoodrich and Pro-Trac in Blackwall and RWL; 255/35R20 has 6 radial Blackwall choices from BFGoodrich and Nitto; 305/30R20 has 3 radial options from Nitto and Pro-Trac in Blackwall, RWL, and Redline. Confirm the exact front and rear size first, since speed ratings can vary between products within the same size.
These answers focus on the staggered front-and-rear sizing used across the 2015 Aston Martin range, the difference between 19-inch and 20-inch applications, available sidewall treatments, and the care modern high-performance tires need on collector-driven grand touring cars.
Size Basics & Fitment
What tire sizes fit 2015 Aston Martin vehicles?
2015 Aston Martin vehicles use ten distinct sizes across five models, with no single size shared across the entire range. DB9 uses 245/35R20 front and 295/30R20 rear, Rapide uses 245/40R20 front and 295/35R20 rear, V12 Vantage uses 255/35R19 front and 295/30R19 rear, V8 Vantage uses 245/40R19 front and 285/35R19 rear, and Vanquish uses 255/35R20 front and 305/30R20 rear. Rim diameters are either 19 or 20 inches depending on model, and published rim-width recommendations include 8.0 to 9.5 inches for 245/35R20 and 245/40R19, 8.0 to 9.5 inches for 245/40R20, 8.5 to 10.0 inches for 255/35R19 and 255/35R20, and roughly 9.5 to 11.0 inches for 285/35R19.
The practical takeaway is that a 2015 Aston Martin buyer needs to confirm model first, then front and rear size, before narrowing the choice to brand or sidewall style. Several sizes look close on paper, especially among the 19-inch or 20-inch fitments, but the aspect ratio and section width differences matter on these staggered applications. If your car has had wheel changes at some point in its life, verify the actual wheel diameter and width before ordering replacement tires.
What does 245/35R20 mean on a 2015 Aston Martin tire?
On a 2015 Aston Martin tire, 245/35R20 is a metric radial size. The 245 is the nominal section width in millimeters, 35 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 35 percent of the section width, R indicates radial construction, and 20 is the wheel diameter in inches. That size appears as the front fitment on the 2015 Aston Martin DB9.
Understanding the code helps separate a true match from a near match that may not preserve the intended front-to-rear balance. A 245/35R20 differs meaningfully from a 245/40R20 even though both are 245-millimeter-wide tires for 20-inch wheels. On a 2015 Aston Martin, that profile difference affects the overall tire height and should not be treated as interchangeable unless a marque specialist has already confirmed a deliberate alternate setup on your specific car.
Do all 2015 Aston Martin models use the same tire size?
No, 2015 Aston Martin models do not use the same tire size. Each model has its own staggered combination, and the range splits between 19-inch Vantage applications and 20-inch DB9, Rapide, and Vanquish applications. Even within the 20-inch group, DB9, Rapide, and Vanquish use different front and rear widths or aspect ratios, so the similarity in wheel diameter does not mean the tires are the same.
That matters because a buyer who knows only the year and make can still end up with the wrong tires if the model is not confirmed first. The safest path is to identify the exact model, then verify the front and rear sizes already on the car or on the factory placard. This is especially important on Aston Martin cars that may have seen aftermarket wheels or prior-owner substitutions intended for appearance rather than correct original fitment.
Buying the Right Tire
What sidewall styles are available for 2015 Aston Martin tires?
Most 2015 Aston Martin tire sizes are available in Blackwall form, which is the dominant look across the range. 245/40R20 and 285/35R19 add RWL options, while 305/30R20 offers Blackwall, RWL, and Redline choices. The remaining sizes stay in Blackwall form, which aligns most closely with the clean, modern grand touring appearance expected on a 2015 Aston Martin.
For buyers focused on a factory-like presentation, Blackwall is usually the natural starting point on a late-model Aston Martin. RWL or Redline can create a more custom look, but they shift the visual character away from the understated style most owners associate with the marque. If appearance matters as much as fitment, decide on sidewall treatment only after you have confirmed the correct front and rear sizes for your exact model.
What brands make tires for 2015 Aston Martin vehicles?
BFGoodrich, Nitto, and Pro-Trac cover the 2015 Aston Martin range here, but not every brand appears in every size. BFGoodrich covers 245/35R20, 245/40R20, 255/35R19, 245/40R19, 285/35R19, and 255/35R20; Nitto covers 245/35R20, 245/40R20, 295/35R20, 255/35R20, and 305/30R20; Pro-Trac appears in 245/40R20, 285/35R19, and 305/30R20. Some sizes, such as 295/35R20, are much narrower in brand choice than the more common front fitments.
That spread means brand selection often depends on the exact size rather than on broad preference alone. If you are matching a staggered set, check both front and rear availability before committing to one series, since one axle may offer more options than the other. Buyers who want a consistent visual presentation should also compare sidewall style at the same time, because not every brand-size combination carries the same sidewall treatment.
What is the difference between BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 and BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A for the 2015 Aston Martin?
For 2015 Aston Martin fitments where both appear in the same size, BFGoodrich g-Force Sport COMP-2 and BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A differ in speed rating and, in some cases, published weight and load figures. In 245/40R20, for example, the g-Force Sport COMP-2 is a 99W tire, while the g-Force Phenom T/A is a 99Y tire with a stated maximum load of 1,709 pounds at 50 psi. In 255/35R19, g-Force Sport COMP-2 carries a stated maximum load of 2,041 at 50 psi, while g-Force Phenom T/A carries 1,565 pounds at 50 psi and a Y rating.
Those differences do not make one universally right and the other wrong, but they do show why a buyer should compare the exact product within the exact size rather than assuming all tires in that size behave the same way. If speed rating, published load figure, or overall spec balance matters to you, compare the front and rear pair together. On a 2015 Aston Martin, consistency across the full staggered set is often just as important as choosing the most appealing single tire in isolation.
Fitting & Setup
What rim width do 2015 Aston Martin tires require?
Published rim-width guidance varies by tire size on 2015 Aston Martin applications. 245/35R20 and 245/40R19 fit 8.0 to 9.5-inch rims, 245/40R20 also fits 8.0 to 9.5-inch rims, 255/35R19 and 255/35R20 fit 8.5 to 10.0-inch rims, and 285/35R19 fits roughly 9.5 to 11.0-inch rims depending on the product. Those ranges are size-specific and should not be transferred from one Aston Martin fitment to another just because the wheel diameter matches.
The key buyer step is to compare the actual wheel width on your car with the recommended range for the exact front or rear tire size you plan to use. That is especially important on cars with aftermarket wheels, where diameter may be correct but width may differ from factory practice. If your Aston Martin has non-original wheels, confirm both width and offset through the wheel maker or a knowledgeable Aston Martin specialist before committing to tires.
Do 2015 Aston Martin tires require inner tubes?
The available 2015 Aston Martin tire sizes are modern radial fitments, and no tube-type marking appears in these applications. One 285/35R19 BFGoodrich product includes a TL marking, which identifies it as tubeless, while the rest follow modern radial sizing conventions consistent with tubeless use. Nothing here points to a tube-type-only Aston Martin fitment.
That said, wheel condition still matters. If a 2015 Aston Martin is riding on damaged, bent, or heavily refinished wheels, sealing and air retention can become a wheel issue rather than a tire issue. Before mounting new tires, inspect the bead seats, valve stems, and inner barrel condition so the complete wheel-and-tire assembly can hold pressure properly in regular road use.
Maintenance, Storage & Longevity
How should I store a 2015 Aston Martin when the tires are fitted?
A 2015 Aston Martin should be stored in a cool, dry, dark garage away from direct sunlight, electric motors, battery chargers, furnaces, and other ozone-producing equipment that can accelerate rubber aging. Keep the tires at proper pressure, avoid long-term contact with standing moisture or petroleum products, and move the car periodically so one section of the tread is not carrying the load in the same position for months at a time.
These are low-profile performance radials, so storage habits affect ride quality and cosmetic aging more than many owners expect. If the car will sit for an extended season, rolling it occasionally or using appropriate stands can help reduce flat spotting and stress on the carcass. A fitted car cover and a stable indoor climate do more for tire longevity than any dressing or cosmetic protectant.
How long do tires on a 2015 Aston Martin typically last?
Tires on a 2015 Aston Martin should be judged more by age, storage conditions, and condition than by mileage alone. A collector-driven car can wear very little tread yet still need tire replacement because the rubber has aged. A good rule is to begin careful evaluation around five to seven years of service and to treat about ten years from the DOT date code as a point where replacement deserves serious consideration even if the tread still looks usable.
That matters on high-performance Astons because these cars often spend long periods parked and then return to spirited road use. A tire that looks fine at a glance may have hardened, cracked, or lost some of the compliance it had when new. Check the DOT date code on every tire, including the spare if one is carried, and compare age across the full set before planning regular use.
How often should tires on a 2015 Aston Martin be inspected?
Tires on a 2015 Aston Martin should be inspected before every drive and again before any extended trip. Look for sidewall cracking, cuts, bulges, punctures, uneven shoulder wear, embedded debris, and signs that the tire has been run underinflated. Pressure should be checked when the tires are cold, and any vibration or pulling on the road deserves follow-up rather than being dismissed as normal sports-car feel.
Because these cars use staggered, low-profile fitments, a problem can develop on one axle without being obvious from casual viewing. Get in the habit of looking at both the inner and outer sidewalls whenever the car is washed or serviced. If one tire is losing pressure more quickly than the others, inspect the valve stem and wheel condition as well as the tire itself before assuming the tread area is the source.
Safety & Road Use
Are 2015 Aston Martin tires safe for highway driving?
Yes, the 2015 Aston Martin tire sizes covered here are modern radial performance tires and include W- and Y-rated products depending on size and series. W-rated tires are rated to 112 mph, while Y-rated tires are rated to 186+ mph. Those speed ratings are already above ordinary U.S. highway travel, and on a 2015 Aston Martin the condition of the tire, age of the rubber, alignment, suspension, and brake health may be more important to real-world safety than the headline rating alone.
The sensible approach is to choose a tire with an appropriate rating for how the car is actually used, then maintain it properly. Highway confidence comes from using the correct front and rear sizes, running sound wheels, and keeping pressures and alignment in check. If your Aston Martin sees only occasional fair-weather use, age and storage history deserve as much attention as speed capability.
What inflation pressure should I use for 2015 Aston Martin tires?
Inflation pressure for a 2015 Aston Martin should be taken first from the factory tire placard or owner’s manual for the exact model, since front and rear pressures often differ on staggered performance cars. Several tire products here also publish maximum load-and-pressure figures, including 245/35R20 at 1,521 pounds at 50 psi, 245/40R20 at 1,709 pounds at 50 psi, 255/35R19 at either 2,041 at 50 psi or 1,565 pounds at 50 psi depending on product, 245/40R19 at 1,653 pounds at 50 psi, 285/35R19 at 1,930 at 50 psi, and 255/35R20 at 1,609 pounds at 50 psi.
Those manufacturer figures are load-capacity ratings at a stated maximum pressure, not a blanket recommendation to inflate every Aston Martin tire to 50 psi. Use the vehicle’s pressure guidance for normal service, then confirm that the tire you choose is being used within its own rated limits. Never borrow a pressure figure from another Aston Martin model or from a different size on the opposite axle just because the wheel diameter is the same.
What should I check before taking a 2015 Aston Martin on a longer drive?
Before a longer drive in a 2015 Aston Martin, inspect all four tires for pressure, tread damage, cuts, cracking, punctures, bulges, and any irregular wear across the shoulders or center. Pay close attention to the inside sidewalls as well, since staggered low-profile tires can hide damage from a curb strike or pothole impact. If the car carries a spare or mobility kit, inspect that equipment too rather than assuming it is still ready for use.
Tires are only one part of the pre-drive check on a grand touring car, but they are the only part in constant contact with the road. It is wise to combine the tire inspection with a quick check of wheel condition, brake feel, fluid levels, and suspension noises before setting off. A 2015 Aston Martin can cover distance beautifully when prepared properly, but neglected tires can spoil the entire experience quickly.
