If its an auto, hold it in 3rd gear at 75 mph. If its a manual, hold it in 4th gear at 75 mph. The rpms you're turning at that speed will be your gear ratio. Ex: ~2730 rpm=2.73 gear, ~3730 rpm=3.73, and so on.

Why such a short tire?

Should be a 275/40/17 or a 245/50/16. 245/45/17 will also work.

If it has 3.73 gears, you will be turning 2k rpm @ 60mph with a A4 and a 26" tire.
