Default 10 bolt on Nitto's? Problems?

Has anyone ever blown or had any problems with a stock 10 bolt on Nitto DR's. I don't have the money for rearend and can't go without my car for long at all with it being my daily driver. Thanks for the input.

I dont think ive heard of anybody blowing up a 10bolt on nittos. They do hook good but not good enough like slicks where they can do damage. Ive been running them on my 98 A4 with 3.23 for 3 months now no problems. Getting a 3800 stall and 3.73 gear that should be the test of the GM 10 bolt.

Thanks for the replies guys. It's my daily driver, so I can't break anything.

If the car hooks.. it can break the rear. Doesn't matter if it has the space saver on the rear...

This is my 3rd year on Nittos. First 2 years, around 330RWHP, this year around 420+RWHP. No problems, 6-speed, I launch on the street at 2500 or so. With 3:42 gears, it's difficult to get a dead hook on these tires, even at the track. IMHO.
