If there is plenty tread on the Grabbers - I'd wait till you wear them out :D  should be plenty clearance for off road,

I'd agree, don't go crazy with the tyres either, it can be an expensive mistake!  Wait till you're used to the car and see what other folks are using (ask them why) before you part with your hard-earned.  When we got the Rangie we binned the marshmallows it was on in favour of more standard rubber, I like going round corners when I want to, not half a mile later!

For the seats, check out "Exmoor Trim."
Sorry don't know their web address.

I think 265/75 are the largest you'll be able to fit without problems /85 may start to rub.

I'd stick with the ones already on they give the same height as the 265/75.
