Swapping stock Continentals without altering ride height
Next mod on the wish list for my new 90 is to fit some after market rims and chunkier rubber.

I can get the Zu Alloys out here in Oz and quite fancy them in black/white to keep going with the monochrome theme, but I'm unsure as to what tyres to go for as I need to be really careful I don't affect the overall height of the vehicle. The Landy just clears the car port by 2cm (3/4")!

Any suggestions for replacing the standard 235/95 R16 Continentals with something with a more aggressive tread without altering the ride height?

Goodyear MTR's are the OEM mud option .. Kevlar side walls and chunky

Personally I think the conti's are pretty good

BFG AT or MT KM2's are also favored

I don't think the OEM tyres have the Kevlar - that's a separate tyre with a completely different tread pattern.

OEMs have "Dura-wall Technology" which adds extra reinforcement to the tire sidewalls, helping to prevent punctures.
