Changing tire size

I have a 3.54 rear end and run 265's. I would really like to pick up 2-300 rpm for towing. Would switching to stock 245's achieve this?

Assuming you were running 265 75 16's and went to a 245 75 16 you would have roughly a 4% rpm change.

If I read the chart right that is......

If my math is correct, it would only be around 100 rpm change. If that's all you would get, it's not worth it.
