Thread: I'm Taking The Tyre Plunge

I can only see the 20 inch ATR+ in 275/55R20 on the Pirelli site. The spreadsheet u mention says the 275 will 'rub significantly.
I don't want to do any mods, particularly on the rear air con to fit the larger tyres and was hoping to find 265/50R20, but I don't know if Pirelli make that size
If they don't, I might have to go to the Nitto Terra Grappler G2...

Sorry mate a typo 275/55R20

The ATRs have been great tyres IMO - very sure footed. I have not seen any of the wet road issues that others have talked about. Have had one blow-out travelling at speed on a fairly stoney gravel road.
I have a set of ATR Plus tyres to go on it now - they look great.

Just drove 900 km down the Bruce Highway from Bowen to Maryborough in torrential rain (courtesy of cylone Owen!). I can only describe the Disco with its legal, but almost ready-for-replacement, Pirelli Scorpian ATRs as very "skittish" where water was flowing across the road. No flooding - just water on the road from the downpour.

I have a set of ATR Plus Scorpians to go on it - they look the goods but it will be interesting to see how they go.
