There's no ryme or reason some get lucky others not.
One way to find out?
If you got an A-4 your less likely a M-6 will grenade it quickly.

I never had any issues with my 10 bolt and Nittos. I may have been lucky though.

I have a 1999 Camaro SS with 55,000 miles. I have made about 40 passes on my stock 10 bolt with 275 Nitto 555R's out back and I haven't had any problems whatsoever.

I have a tune, lid, headers, y-pipe (no cats) and a loud mouth. I put down about 335/345 and I feel the 10 bolt would last forever with my setup.

It all depends if the nittos hop. If they hop they are not any easier on parts than slicks.

I doubt that Nitto's on a stock Vette would do anything but help traction.

I've seen those "half shafts" (if thats what their called) on the Vettes all beefed up, they are huge.
