Tire hazard

I purchased 2 of the 215/45R17 NS1 Nankang tires less than 20K miles ago, approximately 2yrs ago (searching for the receipt as we speak). I have owned my vehicle for 22 years and I have 206K miles on it, which averages less than 10K miles a year. It is a daily driver. About 2 weeks ago, I just happen to notice that the side wall on my left rear tire was splitting apart like it was a re-tread. Upon a closer look I saw that the tire was splitting 360 degrees and there was too much rubber left. I was told by the tire shop that the warrant would be based upon the lowest section of the tread, which is the edge on 99% of cars that are driven! I was also told that Nankang would probably not address my situation because of the wear on the edge of the tire, and the fact that it is considered a performance tire, now how much tread is left in the center or the age of the tire.
