5.75 hi range with a direct 1:1 5th gear and 9.00x 20's (I assume) which are about 39.2 inches in diameter and 3000 rpms is right at 60 mph. now if you were to run 10.00 x 20 at the same rpm would get you 62.75 mph

now to cruise at 65mph with 900x20's 5.75 hi range in 5th (direct) you would have to hold 3200 rpm.
