Personally, I'd want to weigh that as much as engine rpm.
You could potentially move the TDI engine into a slightly more efficient island of efficiency, only to lose it all back with higher rolling resistance. A net-zero gain.
I'm london, Ontario, Canada. We have LRR tires but generally I get tires with more threads we get lots of rain and snow.

I always want to upshift, so engine would handle taller tires lower rpm
