I looked on the UK site, couldn't find them in 255 55 19. Away from home at the mo, will give the tyre stack an extra hug when I get back.
PS found them, don't know what I was doing wrong. And price has gone up £9 a tyre!

Just rechecked here and they seem to have plenty for us on the Irish site. Might be worth ringing them as they all come in from mainland Europe.

Decision made. Sticking with Wranglers. Got an unused spare which helped clinch it. Getting fitted next Wednesday at £144 inc balancing and VAT per corner. Happy with that.

Not a bad call whatsoever. I hated the 18" Wranglers on SWMBO's long gone D3, but for road use in 19" form they have been excellent. And they just refuse to wear out. Done 19k on this set (from 6mm) in all road conditions, incl hoolies and torrential downpours, and they cope fantastically. I'm just after a bit more AT ability, so if I see somewhere off a track in the ar_se end of nowhere I can sling her in there.

Done 24k on these and down to about 3mm. used to only get 15/16k with Zeros on the D3 so am well pleased. I have utter confidence in the Wranglers especially the lack of road noise. Excellent in the wet.2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.

Nowt wrong with Wranglers. In days gone by they used to get a bit "rumbly" as they wore, but that might well have been resolved by now.
Even if you don't ever venture off the tarmac, the Pirelli ATR's should do 50k miles and have c.3mm remaining. In the US, they have (or did have) a 50k mile guarantee.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
