Two things come to mind... the larger tyres will impact on your pull away power... and clutch slip.

The former is easily fixed... go back to standard tyres!  =; [-X 8-[

The later is more complex. It could be that your clutch is slipping slightly when put under pressure (such as pulling off) but still has enough grip to cope with normal driving. I which case.. all you can do is replace it.

I'm sure someone with a far more accurate suggestion will be along shortly but diesel veicle performance is pretty subjective... don't suppose you've done a "0-60" test... assuming you have a stopwatch that measures weeks?

just a thought.... have you got a winch bumper, winch and rock sliders fitted?

if so, the extra weight could have something to do with it. mine is pretty slow till the turbo kicks in and i put it down to the weight!!
