Although the OP didn't ask for the comment re, jerry cans, he may not have considered using a jerry's can's as extra fuel capacity. Some folk need to have accessories for various reasons. A longrange tank is handy sometimes, but unless travelling long distances in remote areas it may not be the best option.
Fuel is readily available and a long range tank costs considerable money, ok if it is really needed.
Unfortunately the OP didn't say WHY he wanted more fuel capacity and bigger tyres so the wisest options can be selected for purpose.
A lot of people endorse unnecessary stuff because it is popular/must have trendy.
I once considered a long range tank, but the cost is too much for me and so I use an, intub, 50 litre plastic tank with pump and filter to deliver to the main when required. All under $200. I can buy fuel witht he other $1100 or more. That way I have two separate tanks, not "all eggs in one basket" and the aux tank can be easily removed when not required. I can also easly deliver fuel to anyone else in need.
Gerard may have been commenting from the point of, is it a popular trend or actual use being achieved. Not sure how anyone can say that they are sure the OP has already considered other options when they were not mentioned anywhere.
