If you went from stock wheels and tires that weighed about 40#s, up to the same diameter heavy wheel and tire like some Lexus or Mustang wheels out there that weighed say 48#s, you would feel the differance on your first drive.

I did take quite a bit of physics so do understand the role rotational mass would play, but the question is does it place a strain or significantly increase wear in the tranny.
I guess my over all point is that this discussion started with tires that were larger in overall diameter being a significant factor and I have moved it on to different weight wheel/tire mods.
Are wheel/tire mods of heavier weight increasing our tranny failure rates? Or is all of this so insignificant in relationship to our tranny wear that is is not worthy of further discussion?
