driving style?
wheel/tyre sizes?
what make of replacements have you been fitting?
when do they break?

not a fan of spacers (not many people on here are) they put lots of extra strain on the hubs/axles and also have a tendancy to work themselves loose
Have you balanced the wheels/tyres?
You'll get more transmission problems with grippier tyres because the tyre is grippier, it allows a higher torque to be transmitted before the tyre loses grip. If the tyre is grippy enough, it won't be the "weakest link in the chain" but something else will. You could of course, drive more gently but then you're going to say if you do that, you'll get stuck in marginal conditions where booting it will get you through?
Unfortunately, that's off roading for you. I was at an event yesterday and someone blew 3 CVJs in the day.
