Winter Set For Aston Martin
Cargrpaphic studio presented wheel/tire sets for the owners of Aston Martin who want to preserve showy looks of their cars in winter.
One of the disadvantages of sport cars is that the summer tires become rigid and unstable with the advent of winter and fall of the temperature. As a result their performance worsens to a great extent.
Besides this, salt and road garbage begin to leave spots on the polished wheels. That’s why German tuning studio Cargraphic presented a set of wheels/tires for Aston Martin (V8 Vantage and DB9) that not only makes the looks of the car more attractive in any time of the year but also provides optimal traction performance. The set consists of solid Cargrpahic IS-ONE wheels developed exclusively for low temperatures and Dunlop Wintersport M3 and Dunlop Wintersport 3D tires.
The unique manufacturing process guarantees outstanding performance of IS-ONE forged wheels. The blank is straightened at high temperature and then shaped. All the wheels are produced solely in Germany what guarantees excellent quality of Cargraphic. The elegant design of bifurcated spokes perfectly combines with the design of Aston Martin and emphasizes the sport spirit of the British car.
To make the looks of Aston Martin attractive in the winter period the wheels were covered with colorless lacquer that protects the surface from salt and negative influence of winter conditions. Cargraphic IS-ONE are available both separately and in combination with winter tires of different sizes. The first set consist of 8.5×19” wheels at the front and 9.5×19” wheels at the back, as well as Dunlop Wintersport M3 tires (sizes 235/40R19 and 275/35R19). There is one more set that can be ordered – 9.5×19” wheels at the front, 11.5×19” wheels at the back, plus Dunlop Wintersport 3D tires (255/35R19 and 295/30R19).
If the owner of Aston Martin doesn’t want to mount old wheels with the advent of spring, Cargraphic offers similar sets for the summer period.
Why Should You Buy Winter Tires?
With winter starts everyone should change car’s “shoes”. But does everybody know what are the advantages of such kind of tires as against summer ones? Is it so necessary? Buying new tires always presupposes superfluous spending of money, doesn’t it?
There are two types of winter tires: studded tire and non-studded tire (studded tire is restricted in some countries).
Studded tire has special construction of tread that make fastening of tire stud more solid and robust.
- Conical diagonal tread pattern grooves prevent from snow pickup to the tire.
- Each winter tire has wider tread that’s why coupling properties take a turn for the better. And as a result steer ability is improved.
- Besides winter tires have double cord carcass made from special fiber.
While exploitation all these peculiarities assist to better collapse of water film, absorb and accumulate residual water particles. In the issue we have unsurpassed coupling on wet ice.
Do remember that the choice of snow tire should be substantial and should be done before the first light frosts and snow. It’s recommended to swap summer tires for winter ones when the temperature is seven degrees above zero.
Any tire is a compromise. It doesn’t make sence that the tire behaves it equally on the race circuit or in deep snow.
Only winter tires are intended to cope with low temperature, snow and ice.
