I mean stupidity abounds, cyclist (as a group) are not immune to it.
It makes absolute sense that a tire manufacture would distance themselves from babysitting whomever buys their tires.
No doubt. But you're talking about fault on the part of the consumer. Compass was trying to absolve themselves of fauly due to their OWN actions.
I mean this is obviously an extreme example, but if a tire spontaneously explodes and incinerates half the people on a group ride, Compass is responsible for a whole lot more than a replacement tire.
