My 90 TD5 hardtop came to me with 265/75R16s fitted on steel wheels, and very nice they are too. I understand that they are a popular 'upgrade' but I have no idea what the standard wheel/Tyre combination was actually like for mostly road use.
So my question is this: as I am unlikely to venture far of road for the foreseeable future (it's a health/strength thing) would I be crackers to refit the original wheels and tyres (if I can get some cheaply)? I'm wondering if they might be easier on the steering, MPG, etc for this sort of use.
That said, I just lurve the look of chunky wheel but ...well, it's good to tinker
