Not in the states. I just called them in October. They couldn't advise me when they would become available.  I ended up going with Nitto's instead...

255/60 is the correct size for the 18" D3 rim and the size that many are waiting for the AT2 to come out in, they are already available in 255/55 which is the correct size for the 18" D2 rim and whilst it will fit the D3 rim and is only very slightly undersized the load rating is not high enough for the D3 The End

the 255/55 is available in the extra load range... this is same for the 255/60's
they are speed rated lower than the 60's though (109 compared to 112)

Err, no, you wrote 'the 255/55 is available in the extra load range' which is not what the site says, it only shows one load rating for that size The End

Ah, think I see the confusion, the number (109, 112 etc) is the load rating Si, the H is the speed rating The End
