Secondly the tire diameter is a 235 tire, I think it should be easy enough to try and go down to a 225 or 215 diameter tire to reduce that contact patch
Those are not diameters, but aspect ratios. And contact patch is your only friend.

What you are looking for is frontal area. Go tall and narrow to preserve contact patch[es]. Agreed about the skirts. Embrace and extend: Hitch-mounted truncated boat tail that wraps around three sides of the rear.
