Sadly not yet. I've either been working or it's been wet. Last Sunday i planned to change the headlight bulbs in my Ibiza then crack on with the 101 brakes. It's a pain in the arse job entailing removing the fuel filter and cradle to gain access to the driver's side bulbs and the battery and battery box on the passenger side. I got as far as replacing the driver's side dipped beam bulb and stopped at that as i could no longer feel my fingers. So all work stopped there. It's looking to be warmer this weekend. A balmy FIVE degrees on Saturday! I'll see what i can do then. Sunday it's wet so i'll probably go into work.

And where did one find those? Do they fit onto standard rims?

It’s the SIL rebuild I saw Christmas. Will ask her where the tyres are from but on standard rims

I have yet to see a 101 actually on the road!
In fact i've seen more Scorpion tanks on the road than 101s.
I almost followed one into Able Engineering when i went to collect a load of bits but the other chap beat me there by about three minutes.

Toyo Open Country M/T Tyre
The Toyo Open Country M/T Tyre is an aggressive off-road tyre that is totally capable of being used both on and off-road. Ideal for both mild and heavy-duty off-road vehicles to tackle any terrain and give you the very best grip levels no matter what the road throws at you.Scalloped shoulder...

I read online that the bargrips are 33 inches tall. That's 838mm in new money.
I went for the Toyo LT255/85xR16 because they are supposed to be 846mm tall and fit on the standard 6.5inch rim.
They also do an LT315/75xR16 which is 884mm tall but need an 8.0inch rim (ideally 8.5inch)
So in theory what i have should be a tiny bit taller than what i've got on and with no cracks in the sidewall.

The two tyres above are original Goodyears. Surprising the 1" difference in diameter.
I'd be happy with narrow tyres, not into monster trucks.....
