if you're thinking it'll be too high geared with that tall a tire ..
I wouldn't worry about that.- if you drive at 65 to 70 ..
they're really taching out at that speed anyway.  Like close to 4K rpm at
70.

raising the effective gearing won't make it too much slower on acceration.
For hills you can shift down .
