John purchased a compact car from Riser Used Cars in Toronto. When John test drove the car, he noticed it had brand new tires, but the interior upholstery was quite worn. John was informed by Riser's salesman that the car had been exclusively owned by an elderly lady who drove only in the summer months. The car was sold with a 40-day warranty on safety items only. Within a week after picking up the car John experienced two flat tires, which he discovered were completely bald, and the windshield wipers and heater stopped working. John may invoke the warranty for repair of the defects in the car.

Question

The warranty mentioned is specifically for safety items only, and while tires could potentially fall under this category, the windshield wipers and heater may not be covered. Additionally, the discrepancy in the tire condition as described at purchase and their state a week later raises questions about the warranty's applicability to this situation.
