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?

The rotational weight of the wheel/tyre in absolute theory, can be brought into the argument, but so can tyre rolling resistance and rim width affecting this; variations in offset affecting turning radius; spoke pattern affecting possible vibration.
I think that I covered the most pertinent points and even these are trivial.
It is my opinion that the the last last query presented above calls for a resounding, YES.
