Recommended pressure means the vehicle placard, not the tyre sidewall. For a Aston Martin Vantage the catalogue proxy is 32-35/32-35 psi (2.2-2.4/2.2-2.4 bar). Size estimates on this page include 225/45R17, 225/40R18 and 235/35R19 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.
How to set the Vantage
- Park the Aston Martin Vantage for at least three hours (cold tyres).
- Use a calibrated gauge, not the only meter on a forecourt hose.
- Set the placard for that axle — about 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar front and 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar rear on this catalogue row.
- Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Vantage is enough to feel a pull.
- Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.
Aston Martin Vantage placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Aston Martin Vantage sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 32-35 / 32-35 psi.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (225/45R17 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This Vantage sample opens with 225/45R17, then 225/40R18 and 235/35R19.

Pressure against load
Load moves the rear of a passenger car first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 34 psi / 2.34 bar |
| Full occupancy | 35 psi / 2.41 bar | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 36 psi / 2.48 bar | 37 psi / 2.55 bar |
Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Vantage.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 31 psi | 2.14 bar | 214 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 32 psi | 2.21 bar | 221 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 33 psi | 2.28 bar | 228 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 34 psi | 2.34 bar | 234 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 36 psi | 2.48 bar | 248 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
Aston Martin notes
No special Aston Martin exception: the Vantage uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Aston Martin Vantage usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 32-35 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.
If the Aston Martin sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Vantage
What is that in bar and kPa for the Vantage?
Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.
What tyre pressure should a Aston Martin Vantage use?
Catalogue reference is 32-35 psi front and 32-35 psi rear (2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 235/35R19?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 225/45R17, 225/40R18 and 235/35R19 as a planning band.
How often should I check a Vantage?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Aston Martin Vantage?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The Vantage placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
