going oversize on the tires might help more on a manual , since you can run a bit less rpm around town I figure once your moving, sort of a half or 1/4 gear size up so to speak, sometimes i cant get into overdrive around town , also isnt direct drive going to be more efficient if the rpm is right due to transmission losses of the extra gears spinning in the trans. if sized right could save on clutch wear since shifting less, might not apply in your case , my little 5 speed 4 cyl ranger is only 88 HP new . course it's 25 years old next week and 400 k to boot, so all around real happy with it .
