Put the Pirelli Scorpion ATR 255/55/19 on their RRS ? Wondering if they fit ok or if they rub ?

Re: Has Anyone

They won't rub, as they are just a smidgen larger than the stockers. A couple of forum members here (Prayn4Sno?) installed them and had very good things to say about them. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=25647

Re: Has Anyone

That's what I was hoping to hear...

Problem is Everywhere I have checked is on National Back Order for at least 3 months. Checked Hankook Ventus RH07 in 255/50/19 they are also on national back order.

Open to Suggestions ?

977.

Give the jokers at General tire a go with their AT2 or UHP pattern product to satisfy a replacement set for your 19" rims dude ?

Hankook are a cheaper alternative to Pirelli as the Koreans make all the unusual sizes that the Italians create as OEM rubber !

They appear to be in stock at Tirerack.com...

The Pirellis aren't - not sure about the Hanooks. I just got off the phone with TireRack 3 hours ago. TireRack won't know until early/mid January when Pirelli will even make more. Figuring a couple weeks after mid-January for best case scenario - could be much longer.

Yeah, you are right. I had to put them in the shopping cart and start the checkout process before tirerack informed me they are backordered everywhere. Sucks.

Tell me about it.......hence I had to order 18" LR3 rims just to get decent tires. I can not understand how Land Rover can sell an offroader with the tire/rim combo especially since there are essentially no available tires in this size for anything other than street use. It's like asking the NFL to play football in 6" stilitos instead of cleats. Which my beloved Bears may be doing judging by the way they have been playing all season. :crybaby2:
