"2. Changing the tire/wheel size changes drivetrain loading:
-larger tires/wheels increase loading and smaller tires/wheels decrease
-an increase in loading on the transmission, driveshaft, differential, axle and other driveline components may have an adverse effect on durability"
The whole letter is like that. Don't forget this was at the height of the Explorer roll over stuff. They weren't going to recomend any change even if the stock (wide) A/S tires were down right scary in snow compared to winter tires.
You could just see it though if I went in for a CV joint gone bad or something:
"Well sir, we submitted your warranty claim and it was rejected due to the fact that you were using wheels and tires other than those which came with your car as per Ford's letter of 30 May 01"
