thebigkendo: It's just my hypothesis. Inkling was the year of manufacture and the fact that it suffered structural failure. |

Piyke: It might have been over inflated or under inflated .. Did you also check the tire ratings? Overloading? Maybe the owners has been entering pot holes at high speed and the tire has deformed.. So many other factors could have caused the blow out.. Your hypothesis is just like police not investigating a "suicide" because obviously the person was hanging from a rope & a stool was pushed.. Forgetting that it could have murder which was staged to look like suicide I personally don't subscribe to the 4 years tire expiry thingie 2 Likes |

Even most of those Popular brands of Tyre like Dunlop and coo has many fakes that original because of the prices and 75% of Nigeria can’t afford to buy new ones even 25% of Nigeria can’t afford tokunbo grade one , some people even go as low as going to vulcanizer plave to get a used tyre they can still manage , people patronize tokunbo more than new because most the expenses and the China product is just like u buying the new one . Westlate is a good China product but once it’s continuously hit any pot hole on the road they wire inside start to cut that’s why China product get damage easily because the tread inside is not sting . China is abt mentianace and if u can maintain it well u can even use it for 4 years if is private not public like cabucabu |

Ademoore07: The same tires were the same price 5 years ago when I bought a set of four. There are Firestone Destinations All Terrain. They’re not what you have on the Corolla. I’ve included a few web articles. I bought it at an authorized Firestone/Bridgestone tire dealer in Ibadan across from Cocoa House. 1 Like

Piyke:may your famy members were just lucky. My tyres carry 2017 date nd as at 2019, they have all deformed such that my car started jumping and started giving me a bumby ride, my anger is that, the thing made me spend changing parts that were fine, my mechanic kept diagnosing different things until I discovered it myself. I have promised myself that if I do not have money to buy brand new continental, Michelin tyres and other good brands then I will buy the Belgium. I have 3 Belgium Michelin tyres now and I'm happy with them |

alphaNomega:chai! The guy really cheated you FA, better soup for am when him reach house. Pumping your tyre should cost more than 100bucks per tyre depending on the area sha. And the nail thing shouldn't be that expensive. |
