Its not bad at all. I have the 4.10's and travel 80 miles round trip a day. 80% highway and 20% city. And I have no trouble with it at all. 70-80 is perfect cruising and I still get about 20 -22 MPG. If you spend all day at 90+ than these gears are probably not for you. But in reality the amount of time I get to spend at those speeds is very little. However the car is still comfortable and quiet at those speeds even with the gt500 axlebacks.
You're inching me towards sending the 3.73s back and going 4.10s.

I went from the 3.31's to 4.10s, so I can't comment on the 3.73s.
I've broken traction a few times in my 3.31's as well, so I'm not noticing a huge difference..but maybe someone who is a better driver can comment.
I'm running the stock 18" all seasons.

I am running 275/35/20 back and 255/35/20 front michelin pilot all seasons. They have much better grip then the stockers and traction is not really a problem. With the stock 19's I could chirp 1-4 pretty easily. I have the 6mt.

No not really. If you drive other cars you will probably notice that most of them would be at that RPM at 80 as well. I know my honda pilot is and my friends 528xi also runs at that rpm also.
This engine just runs at extremely low rpms for gas mileage.
you really don't even notice it.
