Send Ken a pm. I think he sources ATR's from Europe for the fleet he manages.

Ken can't get them any more  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Openeo does appear to be able to supply them.
I also found them on pneusonline.fr. Don't know if they'll ship to the UK though. Expensive as well!

It might well be worthwhile if a courier ( ) looked into striking a deal with a tyre supplier from one of the EU countries that Pirelli still supply 19" ATR's to.

You're ok Del, you can still buy them in the UK in 255 60 18 anyway. It's us poor D4 owners you should be feeling sorry for.
Of course it's a good excuse to buy a set of D4 friendly Compomotive 18" rims.
I've got a couple of part worns and one new one stashed away. The 4 on the D4 should last me for another 30k miles. So hopefully I'll be alright for a while. I've yet to find an alternative tyre that suits my needs as well as the ATR.

Truth be told I bought 2 sets coz I had 2 x D3s at the time. Was going to have them both on ATRs as chopped the MTRs. Then sold SWMBO's D3 before I fitted them to mine so ended up with an extra set. I thought I'd go through at least a couple with punctures (as I did with MTRs) but have had none. Only minor hassle I've had is the FR one has worn on one edge and developed a drone, it's now the under slung spare.

Del, I had a similar problem with the n/s front on my D3. It was a worn ball joint that caused it.
