The 235/75R15 tires are 2% oversize, so about 1800 RPM at 55 MPH. My truck has the 3:73 rear end.

I did an informal coasting test after installing the current tires. After increasing the pressure from 33 or 35 PSI to max sidewall of 47 PSI, it coasted much better. They have been at 47 to 52 PSI ever since.
