I did go up to 195-65-15 vs the 60's it came with and Nokian WRG3's which are supposed to be LLR.
My immediate goal is for a 45 mpg 3-tank on E10.

45 mpg, oh how nice that would be. Not so much the 60 mile commute though.
Did you see much benefit in going up a tire size?

I don't think this had a US equivalent but it was sold in the far east as an Isuzu - the European models had some Isuziu engines (Diesels mainly) at the time.

Ah the J-body. Such a versatile little platform. I've mentioned it a few times, but my first car was a J-body: a 1983 or 84 Pontiac J2000. Also known as a Sunbird, because Pontiac couldn't figure out what they were doing (believe it or not, there was a little name plaque on the passenger side of the dashboard that originally said J2000, but had a new plaque that read Sunbird pasted over it). Looked almost identical to this:

Such a cool front end.
Thanks for that read! I hadn't realized that it had ever had any traction in Europe. And no, that '90s five-door never came here. In the early 90's we had the Sunbird/Cavalier Sedan, wagon, and convertible. Then we had the Sunfire/Cavalier sedan, coupe, and convertible after (iirc) 1995. J-body pr0n:

As if I mind being off-topic
Oh, and I may bring the tire pressure down a little. 40 is a bit too rough for me, although I did hit 39.1mpg on my way to work the other morning.
