so, I'm likely going to replace my Toyo Open Countries (265/75/16) with something taller. They are all chopped up from prior alignment issues since fixed.
My real question is, for those running 285/75s or 255/85s, have you had any premature failures of things like cv joints, axles, tranny, etc etc.
Reason I ask is the tire installer is saying that I may have to sign a waiver if I go greater than 3% change in stock tire size.
I have the OME HD springs, so I know the tires will fit just fine, but they are contending that increasing the tire size this much (about 6.5%) will significantly degrade the life of the drivetrain. Wondering what others have experienced.
thanks in advance for your feedback!
Cheers
