No thats not what im saying, but taking advice from someone who doesn't fully understand what there doing them selves is not good, like i said there are people on here who do no there stuff.
Do you know how to measure tyre read width?So what your saying is that you should replace the tyre's on the driven axle/axles at the same time. Because in that case everyone who has a 4X4 needs replace all 4 tyres every time and make sure the spare is the exactly the same tread depth is the same in-case of a puncher. Also he asking about a certain size he is using which is around 7mm different tread depth on a new set, so I don't think it will matter that much hey!!
Ive seen some as well but they dont tend to be abused like a vehicle diff, but what i do know from experience is if you fit different sized tyres (rolling radious) on a driven axle it will damage the diff
No it wont if its driven properly and maintained properly, same as a diff if its treated propperly it will last.how long will that take?
thats like saying "driving your car/landy will damage the engine" - course it will, dont stop everyone doing it tho.
Using different size tyres on back and front axles .... is it detramental ??

I can't say ive ever seen a vehicle diff with bearing's on the planet gears but i could be wrong what diffs have you had apart that do?
Firstly exuse my ingnerence but whats a 19J, and im not worried the question was asked and i said it would damage the diff i probably should have said it will put extra load on centre diff possibly causing it to fail premetuly ( i cant spell for **** tonight) while others said it wont cause a problem. Its not me driving from bulgaria.Clearly have no experiance of a 19J!
If you are REALLY worrried about damage to the transfer box, Take the front prop off and drive it in Diff Lock. Neither is ideal, and you are not likely to cause damage in either situations with the minimal difference in tyre sizes but with the front prop off you are not going to be working the center diff over time.

In the general sence of the word they dont have bearings they rely on oil alone and if they (plannet gears) are spun to fast over a prolonged period they will fail, i prooved this when i was a young hooligan 3.2ltr capri most junctions just had to wheel spin just had to it was the law when i was 18ish until i blew 2 of the planet gears out of the rear diff cover, foooking made a right mess ep oil every where :doh:
