    because if the hub did not break, it would transfer right up to the drive shaft, then T-case.

    Bigger tires cause more stress on your hubs because they are a lot heavier than factory spec

    I shouldn't really affect them too much, but will wear them out faster still. Any bigger tire will have more rolling resistance and cause more pressure to be put on the hub.

    I think you'll be alright. It'll take a few miles off the life of them, but nothing too major.
