: Two things... Tires and Greasing front end

Here Are the two questions...


1) If I install a larger tire, say a 265/75 R 16, when the stock size is 245/75 R 16 will this cause any tranny problems, like over heating, other then speedo calibration issues. Will the trucks towing capacity be reduced or will it have to work harder to tow the same load as before?


2) The other day I greased my front end. While greasing the passenger side upper ball joint I noticed a little grease seep out of the rubber seal/boot. Did I screw somthing up or will it be o.k. with regular maintenance and TLC?
