““Mr. Mann asserts belatedly that the worn condition of the tires on the defendant’s vehicle constituted a nuisance. Mr. Mann’s lack of care for his own protection is equally a defense under his nuisance theory, which could rest upon nothing more than negligence on the part of the defendant’s employees. See The Law of Torts, Prosser, 2nd ed. (1955), 423-426, ch. 14, S 74. 1 * * * Negligence and causal relation are prerequisites to recovery under the Federal Tort Claims Act. * * * ’ Mahoney v.
