You have it wrong auto in 12-13's would have a higher gear not lower maybe you should look at the gear chart
6 speed would run 4.88's auto would run 4.56's
Or
6 speed 4.56 auto 4.10 if you never moved to a true 35

I have looked at that chart a lot, and running 2500 RPM at 70 is just unnecessary unless you're on some mountain pass. I think 4.56 with a TRUE 35 inch tire is good with the 6MT if this is going to be a DD. A 4.10 would work great with 35's.
Anything higher than that, and you need a money tree for gasoline.
