    Are these sold in Europe?
    Trying to find UHP all season tires in 245/40 R20 and 275/35 R20 and nothing comes up :-/
    Even bare all season (no UHP) are extremely hard to find.

      They are not. Generally in Europe they like to sell a full winter and summer combination in the big wheel sizes.

    Like many people, i would love to have those in Europe, even more because i live in the south of France, where the only time i see snow is when i go to the alps.
    I guess your recommandation of the A005 would apply.

    Thx in advance

    The lack of UHP All Season in the EU is quite frustrating. I have an E53 in Belgium so there easily can be some snow but mostly dry/wet/ice is what we want. Is there an UHP winter tire that's super strong in the dry/wet that would make more sense in the EU specifically because we can't get these options that are available in NA? Issue is size too trying to fit them to 20 inch rims, getting those boxes checked, and having a fun tire for 0-10 degrees. Variable overload at this point unless anyone has some suggestions!

      Something like the Conti TS870P or Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 would be where I'd look with that wheel size.

        Appreciate the reply, thanks! Is that because with the thinner profile of the 20" Alpin 5 would be sort of inbetween a winter/UHP All Season - does it effect it? (the UHP all season we sadly don't get here)

          It won't be anything like a US UHP all season, but it's probably the best option as you're unlikely to get EU all season tires in those sizes.

            Okay thanks! Sadly the Conti 870P doesn't come in my sizes (245/35 and 275/30) and the Pilot Alpin 5 only in one size (245/235). Do you think it's a bad idea to run that square on all 4 wheels vs going with another option that has both those sizes (Wintrac Pro, for example, they have in stock.. it's wet a lot here). The shop basically said they won't do it unless I have a certificate signed from Merc saying it's okay. Looking for a fun wheel so that's probably the best solution vs LM005 which you've mentioned is a bit boring (unless I'm misremembering). Cheers!

              check your handbook, they will hopefully offer a square size for winter, many do!

    I’m looking at buying some UHP All season tires. Ideally the Continental/Michelin’s but I’m struggling to find any of the premium brands in the UK. I’m looking for 215/40/R18.

    Do you have any information on this sector of tires and their availability in the UK at the moment?

      UHP all season tires sadly aren't available in the EU;

        Thanks for your reply!

        My car (i20N) comes standard with Pirelli P Zeros which I’d be keen to change ideally.

        I feel I have 3 options:

        1) Use the P Zeros for most of the year, swapping to 215/45/r17 Winter or All Season tires (on smaller rims) for the few months needed here in Scotland. Eventually swapping the P Zeros out to a better performing summer tire when they wear out.

        2) Not bother with the hassle of getting another set of wheels/tires and just swap the P Zeros out for a summer performance biased AS tire that could just about cope in the winter.

        My question is, with option 1: would you recommend an all season for the winter months vs a full winter (for Scotland), and which tire would you recommend specifically based on this?

        With option 2: is there any AS tire available in the UK (in 215/40/r18) that comes close to UHP AS tires available in North America? If so, which? Is this an option I should even consider for the i20 N?

        Thanks in advance, apologies for the long ramble!

          I'm a big fan of 2 sets of wheels, and sadly there's no real version of the US UHPAS in the EU. Maybe the A005 gets closest at the moment.
