I tend to agree.

Also, don't forget about the unit bearings (wheel bearings). I doubt they would last very long with the big tires.

Of course, a HP30 with the bling Super 30 kit probably would be considered indestructable in certain conditions........like if you still ran a D35 rear axle because you would always grenade it first.
