Main problem is the lack of choice of tyre, only Pirellis in OZ at the moment. Tire rack US have 26 different tyres of this size in their range !! sadly not much in the way of AT tyres. Hopefully now the tyre importers/manufacturers will come up with some more options here for those wanting the maximum available rubber between the rim and the road.
I hope so too, though with only the base model D5 and maybe a few G wagons running these tyres ex factory, I'm not holding my breath for a large selection any time soon. Much less in AT :-(
Pity, because 255/60 would look pretty sweet on the D4 I reckon...
