I guess we're splitting hairs but, this from a NHTSA web site:

"....emergency steering maneuver could cause the tire to "de-bead," i.e., separate from the rim, which could "trip" the vehicle and cause it to roll over."

There are of course many factors that alone or combined can lead to a roll-over. Too much traction on a car ill-equiped to handle the forces can cause a roll-over, with this I agree. But, if this Mitsu was stock, I doubt he's rolling on R compounds. And if he's'rolling on puney tires, you said he'd push....this could happen, but these tires could also dig-in, roll off a bead, grab and trip the car as well.
