The easiest way to come up with the right ratio for your tires is to use the formula that gives you the RPMs for your tire height.

MPH x differential ratio x 336 / tire height x top gear ratio = RPM for that speed

Example: 70 x 3.55 x 336 / 32 x .75 for an auto = 1957 rpms at 70 mph

1957 rpm should be about what you are turning at 70 mph. You should probably
go a little lower to make up for the rolling resistance of the taller tires.

Maybe something like this?
70 x 3.73 x 336 / 32 x .75 = 2056 rpm at 70 mph

Or if you want power something like this?
70 x 4.10 x 336 / 32 x .75 = 2260 rpm at 70 mph

If you look under his vehicle profile it states he has an automatic. That is why I did the examples with the automatics over drive ratio.

Seeing as there might be a language barrier (based on location and username), I'm just going to say: 4.10
