Assuming a diameter of 26.4 inches for a P225x70/14 tire
https://www.differentials.com/technical-help-2/differential-gear-ratio-calculator/
I get 3000 engine rpm at 60 mph for a 3.73 ratio;
3300 engine rpm at 60 mph for a 4.10 ratio.
I suspect that does not comprehend auto trans converter slip, etc.
What kind of rear end? That will affect our library of available discreet rear axle ratios to choose from.

That's spinning it pretty fast.
