Notice the pivot point vertical line vs the CG vertical line...vertical in reference to the ground (edit)
As the CG is moved up (lift)...it comes closer and closer to the pivot line...when it touches that pivot line or gets too close...it will tip over...or more easily
There are more things happening with a tired vehicle and that is tire sidewall roll over, slip angle and more stuff.
This all focuses the forces on the outside suspension area.
Not going to break stuff instantly, but lessens the longevity and of course the tip over potential a greater potential
