Many people have been wondering what could be the
cause of the incessant tyre burst accidents on
Nigerian roads everyday. The major cause is that we inflate too much pressure
on our tyres. How did I know? I was preparing for a long journey, and decided to
changed some of my tyres. When I asked the
vulcanizer the recommended Air pressure for the
tyres, He said 50. I said alright, he should inflate it to
50 all round. When I got to where I was going, I was discussing
with some people on the issue of the minister that
died on the road due to a burst tyre and wonder what
could have happened, because nobody could imagine
a minister would be travelling with expired tyres as
many would think is the major cause of tyre bursts. A man (lived in US for many years) said that the
major cause of tyre burst in Nigeria is that we inflate
too much pressure in our tyres, he reminded us that
each car has a specific recommended tyre size and
pressure clearly written on it by the manufacturers. *I was surprised and begged him to come and show
me where it’s written on my car. To my greatest
surprise, it’s by the drivers door which I enter
everyday without noticing it.* By the time we checked, the recommended pressure
for my tyres is 32 and I just traveled with tyres on a pressure of 50. He took me round his compound and showed me that
of the cars (which includes a jeep and a sienna), and
the highest was 32. Some were even 29. READ

most of them are not well trained.....and ignorance

The best and appropriate gauge for your car tyres is 32...
