Stands to reason that if I used a larger tire, I might be able to raise the real max speed a bit.
However at this speed, the engine is pretty much close to the redline cutoff, so I would say that is all the car would do given this combination of engine and gearbox.

Nope...going larger in the tire DECREASES torque at the front driving wheels...you will lose speed.
