Steve has a 4 banger if that matters with rear end gears

Steve has 4 cylinders and less tire than a 305/70 necsessitating 5.29's
I have less power and an auto which also necessitates 5.29's with 33x12.5's
Someone plug the numbers into a calculator to find the rpms at highway speed.
5.29's would be way too low for 33's on something driven on the street. The improvement off-road would be negligible and could not outweigh the poor mileage and inability to hold say 85 at a reasonable rpm.
Ah, what do I know, it is not like I am running them or anything.
