Pirelli UK info. on Scorpion ATR production & supply
There's been mention in this section of the forum that Pirelli ATR's in the correct size for 18" & 19" rims have either been discontinued or soon will be. When I first heard this a while ago, I telephoned Pirelli UK and was told that they are still in production with no indication that production was to be ceased. I was even given the date of the next production run.
I read the same rumour again last week, so this time I emailed Pirelli UK. Here's the reply:
Good afternoon,
I can confirm that both sizes are still in our current product range and we do at present have stock of both.
Regards
Heather

Silverline 4X4 had a good stand at the CLA game fair. I had a chat with lads, they also confirmed that the Pirelli ATR was still being produced in 255/60/18 and 255/55/19 sizes for the D3/4.

CC, If you want a good AT tyre for 20's get the Cooper Zeon LTZ.
Great on and off road.
...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

They may be right about the 255/60x18, but 255/55x19 is still up for discussion, the 19" is still around, we have a load in on Friday.
But can't get any 18" through proper channels as yet.
All the General AT's are in good stock still.

Yep - we've had this conversation and I'm sold on the idea of these LTZ in 275/45 R20's. Just need to confirm the offset of the landmark 20's are the same as your stormers... which I think means they'll fit without rubbing on the D4?
I'm also about 80% motorway cruising and wondered how they were for noise.. they do look quite chunky compared to the ATR's?

Yep, my Stormers do sit out wider than my Landmark wheels.
And I've no rubbing issues with them, though I did with my 285/50/20's.
But only on the D4, not the D3.
If it's of use, check out duncs [pointyeds] pics.
He's running the same style wheel [though not diamond cut] and has them fitted with 275/45/20 LTZ's
But remember that's on a D3.
As for extra road noise, cann't really say I've ever noticed any extra noise, but maybe I'm just used to them after running with them for several years.
Best double check some info with dunc.
