Semantics. Splitting hairs. We're all saying the same thing here, which is what the article was all about. In this case specifically: Old tires, perhaps having good visible tread, should have been replaced. They weren't.
They failed. Catastrophically.

Idiots will be idiots! Who's to say they would have quit at 90 mph on "New" tires. Instead of 90 they would have hit the tree at 150. They were showing off. Their The only limit on their stupidity was the car, and I'm sure it had plenty left. It's not the gun that kills. It's the idiot behind the trigger.
