worth noting that the bigger tyres will stunt acceleration a little and your speedo will under read too.

25 miles is quite a lot in a Jim! I would avoid really aggressive tyres if I were you. The Kumho KL71 seem to be pretty good on the road considering they are MTs (well I think they are) and seem to do great in the sticky stuff.
I guess it depends on how much offroading you do too but like you say some ATs may be a btter choice. BFGs have a good reputation...

saw that, the places round near me wanted £12+vat for each wheel changed, so would end up nearer the £515 mark
