I read lots about how 35" tires will break stock axles, and sometimes other parts of the drivetrain. But why? Is it because of the extra weight of the tire?
I was thinking extra leverage, but a 31" super swamper is going to be able to put out more leverage than a 35" MTZ just because the swamper will grab like a mofo.
Or is the breakage more of when you end up in a situation that the tire is allowed to freespin at higher speed and then instantly catches a bunch of grip?
Just trying to understand a little more so I can decide if I want 33" or 35" tires.
