Oga sir if you like wear the best Red wings(Google it) you cannot have "good" grip with oil on tiles... Now can you eliminate(100%) oil spill in the workshop? I don't think so.
Groove concrete might not be the best next option but tiles no follow..

PPE is the last in the hierarchy of Hazard Prevention and Control.. Engineering control comes before administrative control(cleaning oil spills) followed by PPE

you are very correct BRO.....

but I like the tile joor

I don't see the RPM on the Dash Instrument cluster... Why?

yeah noticed that but I think it's because it's probably a cvt based ride....
dunno sha why Toyota wouldn't put it there.... even the murano with all its flaws, has it (I think it does.... not sure)

Re: Hybrid discussion Thread. by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:28am On Jun 28, 2019

as usual I don't buy brand new tyres ( ~~think it's a bloody waste of money~~ )

Got my self a pair of 215/65/16 continental and Michelin tyres.

I usually don't like mixing them up, but Grove depth was too tempting.

In the future, when I find a matching pair of any of them, I will revert.

If you can not totally prevent spill, then you need something that won't hold the oil at all at all.. Tiles are better than groove concrete in this regard...
Google search of automobile workshop floors worldwide show smooth easy to clean floors are favoured over rough surfaces

Intel received from HQ indicates that the fence is bigger than the walls of China.
also Trump is reviewing the fence to confirm if it's suitable for his plans to keep aliens out of the U.S.....

very long, wide and thick fence...
grin

I prefer google Mech to oversabi .....anyday, anytime, anyhow!

surprisingly Gazuzz could have gone the shorter but expensive route..... but how would he exercise his AYO babalola given intuition, creativity and Initiative.

Oga Gazzuzz i have a question for you concerning hybrid cars....

is there a way one can ascertain the strength of an hybrid battery in a car before making purchase? because most times it kinda risky buying hybrid cars without knowing the true state of the hybrid battery before purchase.....

THANKS IN ADVANCE

you would have to drive it around a bit, and scan for battery codes.

Vehicle came with 205/50/16 Tyres, I really don't know what they were thinking...

I will be getting rims and tyres today, suggestions are welcome.

Possible options

205/65/16
215/65/16
215/70/16
215/55/17

215/55/17. This profile surely suits the car both in handling and looks but don't know if there will be Speedo error.
