I would much rather have the torque considering it is primarily for hunting. Although I have nothing to base it on, I just thought I should be getting faster speeds.

Wow - Increase the tire pressure was his suggestion? He thinks that will increase the speed by 7 mph? What does he think you are running on flat tires now? lol

OP is running 23” tires that MAY be running as low as 5psi air pressure. Increasing to 20psi or higher (if the tire is rated for it) would decrease the rolling resistance considerably. It’s not far fetched at all.

OP says, "Tires are 23x10.5x12 at 30psi", so I assumed he measured the diameter "at 30psi"?
