I've been running 265/75/15's for a couple years now and haven't noticed any problems with my clutch or 3.03 tranny. That is until second gear went out in the transmission (wouldn't go in 2nd but 1st, 3rd and rev. were fine) but I don't think that was related. Sychronizers

Just a question ... no offence intended ... your not laying rubber outside your girlfriends house or anything on a regular basis ??? Towing, racing ... anything extreme ???

No offense taken! I have so many people ask that question that it's gotten old, lol. I don't do ANYTHING extreme at all. No spinning my tires, no towing, no racing... Very gentle, smooth takeoffs, conservative driving, etc. Plus I was only driving it 2 or 3 times a week. I'm going to the tranny shop again today so hopefully something good comes out of that.
