I have a question
My tire ran out of air
I used spare n on getting to the wheel balancing man. He showed me two nails had punctured my tires
He billed me 1k per nail to remove n fix
Then 1000 to pump all 4 tires to standard size of 45

My question is I fell cheated
Do they charge per nail?
To pump tire used to be 50naira why did he charge me 250each
Pls note that I haven’t done this in a while n husbandman is not reachable on phone.

Please 2004 accord i4 wobbles/vibrates only while accelerating from 80kmph to 100kmph. While I’m within that speed range if I take my foot off the throttle pedal the vibration stops. Please what might be the issue with the car?

Also my steering pulls slightly to the right hand side while in motion

Check your cv axles. Especially the inner joint. Its usually called inner shaft cup.

thebigkendo:


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

Piyke:


It could have definitely come from any of the bold. How about no tire rotation since original installation . Only saying that if you subject 2 tires of the same make (brand new and an aged one) to these same stresses, I would expect the 'aged' one to fail first ceteris paribus

To your second point, I don't agree tires expire after 4 years either. My reference to changing my tires every 4 years or at the signs of structural failure (whichever comes first) is just personal practice. What I don't recommend is using thread wear as the sole indicator for when to replace a tire.

I’ve ran a lot of Kuhmos over the years in the USA. Excellent lower priced tires.

This was in the USA where standards are set and products tested.

I love Kuhmos.

clemzo101:
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

Does your trusted friend know you?

staga:
It is very hot at this time of the year in Abuja. If you drive a lot, the heat from the paved roads will expand the air in the tires. Old tires will not withstand the stress for long. New tires will need to be pumped with air at less than the recommended tire pressure.

You like wahalla sha. . This is 2020.

Had same experience with double kind three years ago. Never again. Out of four, two went out of round in three months and that was without highway travel.

EgunMogaji2:
There’s no such thing as a good quality Chinese tire, my personal opinion.

Don’t be surprised if those tires were even bought used. I’m not sure why folks buy used tires. Yes, I’m aware of the economy but if one has ever had a blowout on high speed then they’ll think twice.

I bought two Firestone Destination A/T last week for N100K, I could have bought other brands for N35K but my life depends on my tires. Too much riding on it to take chances.

LeJeun3:




Well used tires aren't always in the worst conditions. For people who own cars with 19" rims and upwards get cheap original tires is a real pocket hammer.... last time I bought new tires for my 22" set me back about N120K for each tire...

Evangkatsoulis:

How much?
Do have for size 47/48. Type that can fit a black suit/jacket.
