I run 33" now and may go to 35" tire but that for another day.
My gear ratio is 4.56, has been almost perfect for the 3.0 on a regular day around town, on the Freeway, as its called in SoCal, the little 3.0 has trouble on some of the hills, I am in fourth and one hill I sometime have to use third if I don't hit it as a good speed.

I do not have any charts on Transmissions vs Diff Ratios, never thought it was necessary, I always play with the 1 to 1 ratio and accept the rest as is, unless an option pops up about ratio changes.

Since the automatic alway appear to have a relative lower first and second gears it should help me in towing both the small RV and the Tractor.

Sorry I can't contribute to your Chart Project but hope works out !
