To many variables, and I don't think it could be ever calculated easily.

Do we have a rule book? A rule book, sir?
You know, a book with rules in it.

not long if you abuse it ..... look at the bright side. those pretty little ferraris , lotus's , some porsche's , all the exotics ......they go through clutches every 20,000 at a price tag of atleast $4000 to get it done !!

I had a ranger with 29's, not much bigger than stock but I ran those tires for about 50K and at 86k the clutch was still strong.

I abused my clutch and went through it after 30,000 miles and replaced it with a clutch master. Another clutch to consider is centerforce.

I would say put a good centerforce in it and you should not have a problem with it ever again, unless you do a lot of power braking
