They think the treads are for decorations

Heavy duty vehicle tires are made/manufactured to be rethreaded when worn down. So what the man is doing is absolutely in the right

Risking lives of people because of money.

Some people from certain region are very wicket, they specialized in fake fake things.
I pray that any body who is practicing this wickedness should involved in a fatal accident.

MrBrownJay1:
no wonder so many tankers and trucks are losing control and killing thousands....

We have so many gadgets and equipment in Nigeria
We need so many of them
YET, we make NONE of them.
When you refuse to manufacture anything in your country, this is what happens.
Everything imported, Everything expensive. Hence people cut corners.
We once had Dunlop, making tyres from rubber mills, Rubber harvested from Rubber trees.
Now Nothing. No industry... therefore, No jobs....

this is wickedness. ....do you know how many souls have be lost tru lost of tire or burst tires? May God never allow the perpetrator of this act go unpunished from generation to generations!

Nice idea..nothing is waste

Do u know the implications of it?

what the Bleep is this man's business here,why spoil another man's source of livelihood,if u know how difficult and the level of hard work that is put in turning these tire to this,u wouldn't dare tag it what u just called it,these tires are never made new,rather by carving it in such manner,u extend the durability to at least one month to enable the the owner or prospective buyers to manage it till he/she is able or ready to replace them,they are never sold as new ones like it has been tagged

Over 60% of Nigerians who are financially 'comfortable' got the money by evil, corrupt or dubious means. Almost every product has a fake!

Just like our ladies these days. God created them original and unique, but would prefer to be fake and wannabes.

That's why you should be conversant with the inscriptions on the tyres before you buy them, especially the expiry date.

We had dunlop tires before. I don't know why we closed it down.
Probably, it was sweater to import cheap Chinese tyres than to manufacture our own from our own rubber.
The rubber trees are are still growing in the wild.
I don't know why we so much hate MAKING ANYTHING ourselves and always prefer to buy from overseas.

They are probably REGROOVABLE tyres. If that's the case and it's being done by a professional, then it is perfectly safe.

His methods may be crude but it is not a strange practice

This isn’t Nigeria


Nigerians aren’t this heartless and wicked


We are good people with good mind and heart

9ja is the heart of wickedness

The truth of the whole matter is that: In a bid to look for a means to fend for his needs & that of his family, a man is tempted to go against the societal norms in order to survive.
Am not in any way supporting what they're doing. But there's no provision for the lower class citizens.
