If I wasn't replacing everything, I'd stick with the 45 series tire, but I'd rather just get the gearing right and then go the correct sidewall tire. The higher sidewall also raises the car about half an inch. Not good for anything, especially front end grip with the splitter.
The stock torsen LSD doesn't really have anything to wear out outside an normal open diff. There are just a bunch of little gears in there.




You can always just do what I am doing, 4.3 diff, stiffer valve springs, 8K rev limit. YOLO

Out of the 4 tracks in my area the 4.3 is better at 2, the 4.1 is better at 2.
