Worldandnation: Rollover fear tied to tire warning
So we're talking about one tire mounted on one vehicle that has already been defined as inappropriate for said vehicle...

I'd be willing to bet that the largest cross section of rollovers that occurred, in the 10s, out of the 1000s that were sold, were only coincidentally linked to higher tire pressures because of FoMoCo's test reports.

Lets see some data that proves that higher tire pressure can lead to a rollover condition, not something that shows that one vehicle with a specific tire functions this way.
