Looks like I'm going to have to put the new (used) tires on the front. The back ones are not in good shape. But, was wondering, wouldn't the increased air flow under the car offset any savings from lower revs? The front will be higher than the back now. Yes, it is a FWD. Later, I'll add some tires in back to make them all even sized.

According to Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing the new ones are over 8 % larger (which is a lot).

You could use them on the front (it's a FWD car right ?) to bring down the engine revs at any speed, if you think the engine/tranny can take it.
The odometer and speedo will also read low by the same amount.
Worth a try I'd say.
