I am indeed, literally!! Though I was thinking about dinner just before.
To paraphrase a Col Kilgore, I love the smell of new tyres in the morning.

These seriously are the discerning tyre. If they did the correct size I’d be running them now. Sadly they don’t do Jazz sizes.

They most certainly are and perfectly suit my requirements for approx 25k miles per annum, many motorway miles and driving off road at least once a week.
They’re tough as old boots and I get 50k miles out of a set, replacing at c.3mm tread depth.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

I thought they'd stopped making the ATR. Live and learn. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

The death of ATRs has been the subject of much debate & fake news, they have a habit of popping up every now and again and going .
rr, what are the date numbers on those tyres?

In my experience you never get a straight answer from Pirelli about supply or manufacture. It seemed to me that the U.K. would receive the ATR in batches and they’d regularly be a gap between running out and the next batch. In those gaps, I bought a couple from other EU countries, via the likes of Tyreleader.
There have been rumours about the demise of the ATR on this forum for probably more than a decade now. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

The apparently tenuous supply chain for ATR is one of the reasons I went with the Scorpion AT+ after the Graber AT3.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
