Dean,

Nots as ballsy as you, just the approx 10% oversize 215/75-15.  I don't know if I would recommend that size to others that mostly travel on Hwy. I do notice the effective gearing change. A hill that before,  i just could get up in fourth, now needs a downshift. Etc etc.

But on rough logging roads I'm not going that fast and the gearing shift is very acceptable. I didn't notice any effect of the larger tires in G gear. Mind you, very seldom do I really tax that gear. 

For me, the ride quality of theses new geolandar GO15 tires outweighs any disadvantages.
