💥 The risk
Tires mounted on rims that are too narrow could experience a decrease in sidewall durability, and could also experience higher treadwear for tires mounted on the steering axle.

Dealers will install new rims of an acceptable width (8.25 - 9 9INCHES) for the 295/75R22.5 tire size. Owner notification began august 23, 2002.
