its a 51 plate. Just did a quick search and they were 205/70/15. I'm a believer that the thin tall tyre is better in the mud as it cuts through to the wirm stuff, where as a wide tyre will sit on top

Another thing to consider is cost, I paid £100 for 5 nearly new tyres on wheels. Ebay has a few 195's for less than £200 a set new. Next size up starts creaping into the £200+ price range.
