Really interested in this tyre, but not available in the UK.
Contacted Cooper tyres [Avon]
Sold in the US, but not EU tested or approved yet for UK.
Poss available later this year.
Will keep checking
heres a little vid with them on test using RRS & D3
[a little bit too artistic though]

I like the look of them very much, but what are the thoughts on the size:- 275/55/20? Will they fit or rub

cheddar, dont you mean 275/45x20, as 275/55x20 would rub the arch.

there's two shop's selling them, I emailed both for a shipping quote. I also mentioned thre could be a group buy to see if there'd be any discount.
Would the 275/55 fit?
I have 275/45 at the mo.
Did the tyre calc thing and it might be ok in a 275/55.
Any opinions?
45 is too low profile I reckon.

Hhmmm, that 285/50/20 seems a decent size!
it's also got a 116 load rating versus the 110 of the 275/55!...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

check through the threds, as I seem to recall a canadian guy on here who tried 285/50x20s on his D3, and they fouled the suspension upright, even though the tyre calc looked OK.
The RRS has a slightly different casting at the top of the suspension upright which doesnt protrude outwards quite as much as the pressing used on the D3.
Your turn to be the guinea pig
