A.) You guys know that new tires are slick, right?
B.) Do you feel that a suit is justified in a case like this?
I'll weigh in with my thoughts later.

A) As a new rider, no. But for any vehicle: bicycle, car, etc. The handling or feeling of the vehicle is never the same after it's had some work done on it.
Ex: Car tune-up, you bring in a car with low pressure tyres, dirty motor oil. Oil is changed, tyres are brought to the correct pressure. Even after a vehicle is washed, it drives different.
Everytime I leave the service area, I always take it easy to readjust to changes if any. It may not be new tyres, but service garages work with oil products, oil might be suck on it anyway. You spray your own chain lube and you risk having slick tyres.
B) No. But I'm from Quebec and there's something called good faith. You can't really will a case if someone had good intentions and did nothing else wrong.
Also, when a garage warns you about new tyres being slick, isn't it just a friendly jester? Even if the rider was told by someone, nothing was written so it's their word against theirs.
