Re:
Hi Gail
My previous tyres were Cooper CS4s and I loved them. Couldn't get any better during the wet and they made driving in the rain actual fun because they were so good, and they hung onto corners in tight bends like glue.
I now have Yokohama Geolander AT/S's (G012's) which are very good in the dirt. Every time I leave town I have 17km of dirt, each way. But they are nowhere near as good in the wet on sealed roads as the Coopers.
I love to head off down dirt roads just to see where they go, and it's nice to have confidence when I'm doing it - but realistically I don't get to do it that often, just the bit on the way to the bigger town, and I'm giving serious thought to getting the Coopers again next time.
Somebody some time ago commented the Coopers did well in the dirt - are you reading this thread, 'cause I'd like to know how they performed. I didn't get to do much dirt when I had mine on.

Re: Replacement Tyres
The lift is only 14mm, the diameter increase is 28mm but the radius increase is only 14mm. Only the increase at the bottom lifts the car.

Re:
They look good.
I don't honestly think you will notice any difference in fuel consumption.
Do you get any rubbing at full lock?.
