Tire size and driving would determine best gear
ratio however, Front and rear have to be the same.

I would trust the underhood sticker. There should also be a tasg on the center section of the rear diff. Short of that, the only other way would be to mark the yoke on the diff and mark one wheel, while rotating the wheel one complete revolution, count the number of turns the yoke makes.
