I am also thinking about tyres, I have and early 90. at the moment they have a bigger tyre on.
they look right for the 90. but would like one day to return to stock. I have the original rims. See pic.

if you love the performance you must not have driven them in the wet yet! They are what I have fitted to my series and they fit the bill for a sereis vehicle and look the part, but can be interesting if taking things outside the comfort range of a series vehicle in the wet.

They are fine. If I want to go speeding about in the rain I choose another car
Boring!!
When i got my 2a it had cheap Turkish remoulds on, they were that bad you could almost push it sideways in the wet

I have the same tyres was out in the snow a few years ago when a defender stopped in front of me on a slope to engage his difflock.
I needed a tow to get up the hill because tyres would not grip in the snow sufficient to get me moving from stopped.
