Gurus in the house .. I just bought some tires for my Uber cars... And by looking at the pictures they look like winter tires. Winter tires are especially made for the snow and they will affect fuel mileage if used as regular non winter season.

So can anyone be able to tell ,if they are winter tires by looking at the pictures..

I dont know it all and that is why I ask for advice.. Thank you very much for taking your time to reply.. When we help each other we lift each other

I once used 4 tyres like that and later I discovered they were all winter tyres. They were making tapping noise when being driven.
I later lost two on Benin-ore expressway. They blew on their own. Though I suspected hot temperature with speed of average160km/h.
Luckily, it happened when I slowed down.

You are very correct .. Winter tires will definitely burst on hot surface road ...... The lack of knowledge we face when buying cars and not doing proper assessment before buying can put us at a great risk. What I experience today is trust your instincts.. Am not a car expert ,but when I saw those tires on my car. I knew something was not right..... And these are things that are causing accidents on the road. Imagine the amount of people driving around with winter tires
