I'm in the same boat. 250 6cyl 3 OTT. Factory 4.11 rear gear. According to the calculator linked above I have 28.88 inch tall tires.

It feels pretty comfortable cruising at 65 and even 70. I don't have a tach but I would say the chart above is pretty close 3095 RPM for a 29 inch tire and 4.11 gears at 65 MPH.

I have a GPS Speedometer on my phone that I use occasionally to check my speed and I'm pretty sure I have never hit 75 mph. It just seems to be revved pretty high.
