Derek,

Are you interested in a lower low gear to compensate for running larger
diameter tires? Or are you wanting to climb some really steep inclines?
Just curious...

On a related note, I installed 27-8.50-14 tires on my syncro this
winter. They look great and I like the little bit of extra clearance,
but I sure hate that I have to drop to 3rd to maintain freeway speed on
relatively mild hills. I'm seriously considering going back to a more
stock tire size as I don't do much serious off-roading.
