Theoretically yes, but it depends on the capabilities of the police officers at the scene to deduce that the fatal accident was likely caused by the quality of your tires and any prosecuting attorneys or lawyers attached to the accident after the fact.
We’re lucky if people get charged for manslaughter when they run somebody over deliberately. And if the person they kill is a cyclist, we’re lucky if they get charged with anything at all.
Can you be charged for manslaughter if you drive a car with worn tires that causes an accident that kills someone? I sure hope so for all our sake.

So, realistically, no. 😡
