My apologise if this is covered often, but I can't find anything obvious after a search.
I've just had a good grands worth of work done to the old heap, and now that it's pretty solidish, rusted bulkhead aside, I fancy making it look a bit tougher.
It currently sits on white steel wheels, which I assume were factory fit. On these are 205 profile continental/michalin tyres, the more on-road biased ones. They look incredibly weedy, and must be changed immediately!
What are the options here? What's a good wheel/tyre combination - something that will toughen the car up, but not look like a toy. I'd prefer to keep them steel, I'm not a fan of the alloys. I would like to do some light off-roading, but it won't ever be anything too heavy.
Also, I'd obviously have to switch to an offroad tyre for the required look - how do they compare on the road to the thinner continentals currently on it, both in terms of grip and road noise (tbh, it can't get much worse, can it?>!).
Thanks
