I do agree that using an undersize tire/wheel for the load is wrong. However because we have become such a litigious society manufacturers have been forced to use very general CYA statements. It's not just tires, cars, trailers, etc. If it were up to some nothing could be changed in any way shape or form from the way the manufacturer produced it. An example of CYA offerings is. How many times have you bought something and after reading all the warnings asked yourself "How could anyone be so foolish as to use it this way?" Would you use a hair dryer in the shower? Of course not but I'll bet there's a similar warning in the instructions for it.
