Ok then. Is with 28" tires
70MPH - 2583RPM
80MPH - 2952RPM
90MPH - 3321RPM

Is this ok? How much will this hurt my mileage? How about a 1/4 mile run?
Would it improve it, or hurt it? Any advice is welcome! Thanks for your
help!

Well, good luck with 275-60-17s with Hotchkis, you'll rub like no tomorrow.

275-50-17s will be close to the stock height of RT tires...
