That doesn't change the fact that the tire was visibly unsafe long before the tread came off.
Learn from past experiences and take ownership of them or be doomed to repeat them, over and over again.
And now for others. Tread rubber is a different copound than the sidewall or casing. When a tire ages, the two rubbers tend to crack along the joint ( especially it seems with older generation tires, newer gen tires seem to crack all over or in the tread grooves ) . The tread rubber then continues to lose bond with the casing and off comes the tread.
All of this deep cracking is visible long before things some apart.
