Once your wheels slip under load, gearing any slower doesn't do anything to increase your pushing force, it just decreases your power consumption. You're traction-limited rather than torque-limited.
For a 150 lb robot with roughtop tread, that "magic number" is around 6 feet per second, depending on your efficiency, exact weight, wheel design, etc.
