I say find a legit HF transmission insted of running a taller heavier tire..

Disagree. Easier to cut through the air doesn't offset the natural VE sweet spot that was designed into the D15B8, which is complimented by the gearing. Admittedly, there is a chance to go a tad faster at the same mpg which is very nice for expediency, but I do not see a gain in mpg going this route.
