Increasing tire size from the OEM tires will increase the stress load induced on the driveline. The planetary gears and carriers have to work harder than they were designed for and that creates a problem that leads to premature wear on planetary gears and on many other Automatic transmission components alike.

What axle ratio is better for vehicle 3.55 or 3.73 axle?
It depends on what you are doing, gas milage or pulling oversize tires. for oversize tires 3.73 saving gas 3.55
Will a broken stabilizer pin were your tires down?
No but, it will greatly affect the handling and cornering of the vehicle.
How does tire size affect the speedometer in a car?
The speedometer in a car runs based off the speed of the transmission. The gears in the transmission spin at a known rate for the speed the vehicle is traveling at. The faster the gears spin the more the speedometer goes up. If a person replaces stock tires with larger tires, then the tires will spin slower, which will cause the speedometer to read at a value that is less than the actual speed.
Will a broken stabilizer pin wear your tires down?
No but, it will greatly affect the handling and cornering of the vehicle.
Why it important that tyres are maintained correctly as part of regular routine maintenance?
Multiple reasons. 1) If your tires are not balanced, the tires can shake your car and cause damage to the vehicle. 2) If you don't rotate your tires, UN-even wear on the treads can "pull" your vehicle to one side. Which can also cause damage to the vehicle and tires. 3) Under inflated tires can also put drag on a vehicle, causing damage to the vehicle and tires. All these reason can also affect your fuel economy as well.
Can oversize tires damage gearbox or diff?
No, but they can effect handling, braking, ride, mileage, and the accuracy of your speedometer.
What are the factors that affect your vehicle in a curve?
Five primary ones. The weight of the vehicle, the speed of the vehicle, the friction between the roadway surface and the tires (which depends on the quality and wear of the tires, the type of pavement, and environmental conditions such as rain or ice) and the bank, or tilt angle, of the road.
Can a 2003 Ford Escape with an automatic transmission be towed with all four tires down?
Yes, even a vehicle with their E brake on can be towed
Should the best tires go on the front of your vehicle?
It is recommended that all four tires on your vehicle be equal to one another, to avoid an uneven setting of tires. Really, it mostly depends on your definition of 'best'. If the 'best' tires are the more inflated tires, then you shouldn't put them on your vehicle at all. Usually, the better tires should go on the back of the vehicle (the two rear tires). However, if the better tires are vastly better than the other tires, then do not put them on your vehicle, because it would cause unbalancing in the vehicle, and other issues.
What are the problems related to accidentally flat towing a car in Park gear?
Tire failure on towed vehicle and then possible transmission failure on towed vehicle. If the tires wear out before the transmission fails you will grind the wheels flat on the down side but as the coefficient of friction will be much less the transmission will probably make it.
How do you fix play in steering with oversize tires on a 89 bronco?
First replace all the tie rods and all other remaining steering components. These will wear faster with over-sized tires. Check the steering box as well. This is not a new vehicle and things wear out over time even if it is a very well taken care of auto.
Can you replace your tires with 275R16 instead of 270R16?
It is generally not recommended to replace your tires with a different size, especially if the difference is significant. The 275R16 tires are wider than the 270R16 tires, which can affect the performance and handling of your vehicle. It's best to consult with a tire professional or refer to your vehicle's manufacturer guidelines for the appropriate tire size.
