I like the look of these as they don't touch the bike frame. Why don't they appear to be for sale in the UK?
If you want a tyre grip rack, then can I suggest an Auxtail one. It is available over here with 'No Frame Touch'

Two reasons:
A: They rely on a square hitch receiver which is very rare on this side of the Atlantic.
And
B: They wouldn't meet EU safety standards.
Same reason many of the racks we see here aren't available in the USA.
@hatter
A - the hitch standard is not legal for towing in Europe.
B- There aren't any pan European rear cycle carrier standards. I made a summary of UK law here.

The main difference is the lights. The Germans have some extra rules.
Some US carriers with additional lights are here, and some European ones without lights over there (Thule)
That auxtail looks good. Thanks for that.
