Yes that is my primary complaint, that they took it so far. The proof "could" be that there are thousands of trucks out there running with lifts and big tires that don't have one wheel bearing blow out. If they had a chart with specific numbers stating (for example) the truck is rated for a...

You are correct. Tire diameter does not affect the stress on a wheel bearing. It affects the torque which goes into transmission and such. Offset is more logically what their excuse to me should've been. They simply said the bigger tires. Offset will affect the stress on the bearing but only...

Haha You're absolutely correct. I'll continue to fight for my warranty with my own knowledge. Side note: this is my 4th heavy duty truck that has been modified. I've always done the work myself other than this one. I have gone through everything that the dealer installed and I do give them...

I disagree. Nobody can provide enough evidence to prove that larger tires are the reason for wheel bearing failure. That is the crap that the dealership fed me. If the larger tires caused the wheel bearing to fail then the other bearing should have the same stress and be close to failure as...

So a few more details. No, I did not adjust the speedo to match tire size. The dealer that I bought the truck from is in Florida and I am in Michigan. The Florida dealer installed the lift and tires and backed their work. Obviously not logical to take the truck to Florida for the repairs. I...
