A 4" tile has an interior area of 12.571 sq in, a 6" tile has an interior area of 28.285 sq in and an 8" tile has an interior area of 50.286 sq in so a 6" will handle more than twice the volume of a 4" and an 8" will handle a little more than 4 times the volume of a 4". Its better to be safe than sorry, given the cost difference in the price of the pipe, because the cost of digging it in will be about the same. Be sure to get the slope right too, as the pitch will determine how much dirt collects in the bottom of the pipe, too slope much will leave as much as too flat of a grade. Talk to an engineer that knows how to lay sewer lines, he can give you the slope data. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
