Subject: Tire question

Vanaroonies,

I feel the list has been too quiet lately so I thought I'd bring up a tire
question.

Converting a van, 87 syncro, to diesel [if the money falls from heaven, that
is]. The advice is to change 3rd and 4th so that the diesel operates in the
right rev range on the highway.

This will increase the gap between 2 and 3, which is already too large
really.

So I wondered how much the revs could be decreased at highway speeds [and
all others] using the tallest tires? I have 15" rims and since it's a syncro
and a westy I need Light truck tires.

Any ideas?
