Not as a daily driver at highway speeds. The effect of speed on tire wear with the stock front differential is, you'll get about 40% of normal tire wear driving at 60mph frequently. The faster you go, the faster you wear your tires out. You'll need to swap out the front diff for a later model if you plan to do a lot of highway driving.
275 seems low HP for a 440, what year engine?
