One way to know for sure is to contact Chrysler and get your build sheet. Its always good to have for tuning and custom tunes.

If you've got 3.55s, yeah, you are losing performance. 4.10s for tires up to 33", 4.56 anything over would be a good investment...

2000rpm @ 60mph would be more like a 3.92. I have 20's and get those rpms @70mph.
