Got it.

I remember one time I use my tyres till motor start to glide when I match brake, if i nor match break on time I dey pass my gate...

You're a very powerful RISK taker, I salute you.

OHOnairaland:
OP are you a car seller/dealer? Give me a sincere answer.


Meanwhile, I don't change my tyre until it bursts out on the road. That is my verication method.

If you're still single, I would say thank God. But if you're married, then I pity your wife because this practice is a widow making attitude.

Felixalex:
I change my tyres every 2months

Perhaps you like buying second handed tyres. Why not graduate to the next level? NOT APC type of level change o.

PrickGetSize:
I remember when my bought a new tyre and it started having bumps the same week.

Maybe you bought Hausa ibo made tyres.

handsomeyinka:
Those old tire sure pass all this new one....

Na so they preach change, I go vote for buhari, didn't know that was the worst mistake in my life.

At least you have story to tell now, abi? A trial has convicted you!!!!

calculator123:
I really wish Nigerians can learn to follow product specifications. When it is expired, change it. Don't try to manage it because it still looks good. I totally believe that we can have an accident free country if only I mean a big IF we adhere strictly to safety rules.

Manufacturers state year of manufacture. There is nowhere on the tyre that an expiry date is stated. How then do you know it is expired?
FRSC right?
Ride on.

No tire carries an expiring date. What you have on tires are manufacturing date

Average life span of a tire is 4years from manufacturing date.

KrystosCJ:
Your point number 2 is wrong info.

To tell the age of your tires, you have to look for the DOT number, usually a four-digit code.

The first two digits indicate the week the tire was manufactured. The last two digits indicate the year [from 2000] the tire was made.

So if you have a DOT number (usually encased in a cylindrical circle on the OUTSIDE part of your tire) that reads 1618, it means that your tire was made in the 16th week of the year 2018.

Seconded

Says who? Show me one tire manufacturer that supports this claim. Won't it be to their benefit to post such on their tires so users can always buy newer tires?
I dare you. Show me one tire manufacturer that supports this claim or forever stop this nonsense. FRSC woke up one morning to condemn what they cannot fathom how it is made or how it works. They will ask you for a spare tire when you have run flats. I won't be surprised if I hear someone has been jailed for not having engine number stated on his documents (for an electric vehicle).

Your car tyres remain a very vital part of your car that is supposed to be in good condition at all times. Your tyre is meant to provide a safe grip with the ground in all situations to ensure good driveability of your car. Anything that makes your tyre deviate from giving your car safe grip to the ground should be avoided.

Below are the warning signs that indicate it’s time to change your tyres.

1. Bulges:

Bulges on any part of your trye are another clear indication that your tyre needs to be replaced. The bulges sprout out when the rigid internal frame of your tyre get damaged.

These bulges can be caused by driving your car with low tyre pressure, hitting potholes or kerbs.

When there is bulge(s), it is highly advised you change the tyre even if it looks fine.



2. Age:

Pay attention to the age of your tyre. It is not very hard to check the age of your tyre. There are a 10-11 digits Tyre Identification Number (TIN) written on the sidewall of every tyre. The TIN tells you a lot of information about your tyre including the weak and year it was manufactured. Expired tyres need to be changed.

To ensure your are not using expired tyres, read our post on – How To Tell If Your Car Tyres Are Expired here



3. Cracks:

Car tyres are almost at all times exposed to varying weather conditions. Some of these exposures can cause UV rays to break down the chemicals and oils used by the tyre manufacturers. When this occurs, the strength and flexibility of your tyres might get compromised leading to brittle-like texture of the tyre.

This will often look like little cracks or holes in the tyre itself.

These cracks on your tyres could be a sign of a future blowout. So it is definitely something you need to get checked soon.



4. Vibrations:

It is normal for your car to vibrate especially when plying bumpy roads. There are several causes of car vibration; one of them is bad tyres. An internal damage to the tyre can cause irregular spinning of the tyre, hence vibrations.

If you start noticing some vibrations even when on smooth road, it can be an indicator something could be wrong with your tyre. Inspect your tyre to find out what the problem is.


5. Wear on one side:

You would probably need new tyres if they have severely worn out.

Tread wear on the center strip of the tyre is a sign of over inflation, while wear on the edges is as a result of under inflation.


Check the condition of your tyres today!!!

U forgot the most important part of this Bross,the WEAR INDICATOR

Tires expires after 4 years. You don't need a manufacturer to tell you that. It also depends on the climatic condition. Switzerland has two sets of tyres for every new vehicle purchased and at the end of four years, it is discarded. For Nigerian road conditions, it is 4 years because of our hot environment and that is why the need to falsify the manufacturing date is now in vogue in the country. The most important reason to change your tyres is if it has temperature B or C written on the tyres. That's suicidal. As for getting a bump with low tire pressure, hmm, it is mostly caused by over inflation and once the tyre hits a kerb, it gets swollen. Another factor is speed index.

Ok. Thanks

So the 34 degree ambient temp we have here is hot enough to expire a tire in four years? People in the middle east will change theirs every two years then. Rubbish. Show me a tire manufacturer or safety body (not FRSC of course) that mandates this. Even the NTSB does not mandate this and they actually know their left from their right when it comes to safety. They are practically the standard flag bearers. For your information

You are welcome.

Kewtt:

Explain temperature b or c

Temperature B on a tire is ideal for winter seasons because it performs better in snow. It also has limited capacity for summer time and therefore the speed is restricted. The tyre, being the point of contact with the car and the road is prevented from getting to a certain speed during both seasons because of the texture.

Going through the links, I was expecting an authority from the middle east that you referred to. Summer tyres from the date of manufacturing does not exceed 4 years. When you quote the US that even use M+S rated tyres, you will find out that they limit the speed of the tyres in order to make the tyres useful for both seasons. Frsc are the authority that determines the type of tyre that they want to be on our roads. And very soon, they will be carrying guns and if you know, you know

In reality that guy is right, the only group of people advocating in the west for limited time in the change of tyres due to age are the tyre service providers like the AA not manufactureres.SOme part of the US is even hotter than the middle East ie Ariona and Texas.
In the UK, year of manufacture is not a requirement is not a requirement as to how long you need to have your tyre,, tehre is advicosry but the real Legal check for MOT is the WEAR INDICATOR, which we seem t o always overlook in Nigeria, I was suprised loads of Tyre shop in NIgeria never knew about this.
