what kinda of tires should i get

I have a 2000 echo with one tire losing pressure. Will drop from 40lbs to 20 in about 2 days but then remain around 20 then drop off. The car sits high, is bone stock, i get about 40mpg average, currently on car are 175 65 14, rpms are really high at 60mph, any advice on lrr tires, should i get a taller tire to drop the engine rpms, which would increase overall height of car, im pretty much thinking if i change the height of tire it will all even out, lower rpms = better mpg, but extra weight of tire, plus ride height will decrease mpg, also i have 2 young kids so going over max pressue isnt an option.
thanks,
mike
