have you considered changing your diff ratios to help bring your gearing back? rather then replace tyres?

G52 is your gearbox. and if your rotations of d/shaft are correct then you have 4.5 ratio diffs too. To improve diff ratios you need to go to 4.88 but have heard that they are a weaker diff as the teeth are thinner.
I have 4.88s in my Surf and running 33s. No worries...yet....
