The front passenger side tire lost approximately half of its tread, causing the driver to nearly lose control of the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and replaced the tire with a spare. He called the manufacturer and they informed him that the tires were no longer under warranty and needed to be replaced at his expense. The VIN and tire size were unknown. …”
