Jeez. Designed for larger 4 wheel drives but "It is possible that a small percentage of the tyres may experience belt detachment, especially if operated below recommended inflation pressures".
I thought the whole idea of a 4x4 was to play around in areas where lowering tyre pressures was a necessity. It sounds like they are saying as long as you don't lower pressures, you should be OK. Glad my 693s are 15"
