Guernsey 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto Santorini BlackDiscovery 4

Hopefully situation going to improve with All Terrain supply over next year.

Wrangler Duratracs getting good reviews (though more MT than AT)
Prices vary widely and supply seems poor at present.

Hankook Dynapro ATM now in 19 inch size though once again not many around. Feedback only on other sizes in range which on the whole seem very positive. Pricing looks reasonable.

Cooper LTZ, good reviews and now in 19 inch size, seems to be a few around at present at sub £160 prices.

Was going to go with Pirrelli ATR's but not knowing how long they are going to be around decided against. It would seem that in the Americas there have been a fair few reports on issues with being able to balance these tyres, due to issues with sidewall construction. Like many feel these were a very able tyre, both on and off road.

After ordering some Duratracs, then being let down next day have decided to try LTZ in 19 as have had enough of General Grabbers AT.

The AT's improved sidewall and wet weather performance over AT2's but lost a little in the mud. They also seem to have this annoying hub a dub noise, worse when worn on the road.

Have experienced this on 2 D4's and Freelander, though not loud I have just found it annoying and distracting and not a tyre befitting a £60,000 vechicle.

As I and others have posted before, 19" ATR's haven't been officially supplied in UK for some time now. I might be wrong, but I don't think that 19" ATR's are officially supplied in any European countries at all now. Although I think they are still being officially supplied to the US & Canada, maybe other markets as well.

However, 19" ATR's continue to be supplied to UK customers by online retailers, I guess that you could call them the "Grey Imports" of the tyre world. Good prices as well:
http://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres-255-55-19-111/?s=S&ty=O

I've stocked up with a spare set of 4 new 19" ATR's, plus a couple of part worn ones. So should be good for a while yet, as I know I can get 50k miles from a set with 3-4mm of tread remaining.

No supply issues for 18" ATR's which are still listed on the UK and EU Pirelli websites. Good excuse to fit 18" rims Smile

No surprise that Micheldever suggested the GG AT as an alternative 19" tyre, they have the sole UK import rights for General Tires as well as Falken and other brands. They and their various subsidiaries which include Protyre, Southam and the 4 site 4X4 tyre centres, never miss a chance to flog em!

Here are some of the lucky GG dealers on a jaunt to SEMA (yes I'm jealous).

MrH, worth "laying it down", like a fine wine the value could be higher as it matures. Laughing Thumbs Up

Iam thinking of buying a set of Compomotive PD1880 18” rims for my D4 so just for clarity

are 18" Pirelli ATR's officially supplied in UK, and is are there any plans to discontinue ?

@petersw, ATR's in 18" are listed on the Pirelli GB & EU websites. So currently readily available. As for the future, who knows? Worth noting that whilst the 19" ATR hasn't been "officially" supplied to the UK for sometime now, they're still available from online retailers. So I'd not have any concerns about buying 18"s, although I'd probably buy 5.

BTW, you should get at least 50k miles out of them. I sold my 18" ATR's with plenty of tread on them and reckon I might have got 55-60k miles.

I have been so happy with ATR's over the past 5 years that I couldn't bring myself to jump ship just yet so with the help of the "forum search" I took the plunge and ordered a pair of Pirelli 255-55-19 ATR's off the Interweb on Tuesday evening and they turned up at lunchtime today Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

That's 2½ days from order to delivery and forgetting their lack of availability in this country at a delivered price of £166.99 each I couldn't be happier Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
