Not surprising that the ATR Plus is difficult to get - it doesn't exist.
It's the All Terrain Plus.
Pirelli's history of making certain tyres hard to get is why I'll probably go for the AT3 again, much as I like the look of the All Terrain Plus.

I wondered what the bit of string as for.
No, not missing it. Yes, it’s a nice car, but it would just be sitting there costing me a few hundred quid a month just to take round the block once every couple of weeks. Plus no Scando RTs for a few years. It’s just a car and can find better ways to spend the money.

Not sure SWMBO would understand.
Mind you we do have a stack of SWMBO’s summer tyres in the downstairs loo.

If you’re going to carry them around for any more than just to the tyre shop I’d suggest packing like this. They don’t roll around and the one on its edge can be wedged in by the column.

They will leave interesting tracks with PS in the mud.
They are rated E for wet, it’ll be interesting to hear how you find them over the winter.

Looking forward to a full report in due course
They have a more aggressive tread pattern than the ATR, so one would assume are more noisy and less grippy on the road. Having said that, the tame looking ATR's were so much better off-road than their appearance suggested, so maybe the reverse is true with the AT Plus.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
