I would prefer u go with brand new china tyres and have peace of mind. I would personally recommend WINDA or SUNFUL. Normally, people run into early issues with their tyres because they neglect basic but essential tyre maintenance strategies:
1. Always ensure ur tyres and well gauged (very very very important)... as a rule of thumb check them everytime u fill ur tank. I personally check mine every weekend.
2. Rotate ur tyres every 3 months so they all wear evenly (as a rule of thumb, do it when ever u service your car).
3. Balance ur wheels 4 times a year.
4. Do alignment once a month.
Do this and u will enjoy ur new tyres for the duration of its life time.

Can you compare sunful/winda to Michelin, pirelli, hankook, bridgestone, Yokohama?
Them no be mates.
When people advise tokunbo, they assume buyer will bear date of manufacture in mind.
Tokunbo tyres from known brands made from 2018 are okay.
I used to be in the new tyre camp until austone and double king dealt showed me that there is a difference between Panadol and paracetamol.

Tires don't expire

soloehis:
I can relate to this..the cars I bought from Germany both has 2010 summer tyres that looks like brandnew..my contact in Germany said that there is no such thing as expiring date for tyres..they only check if the tyres has worn.

Your contact in Germany is not an authority in cars tyres, he just spoke ignorantly (no pun intended). All tyres made of rubber forgive road going vehicle have expiry dates.

soloehis:
what if you are the ignorant one?I can send you a link where second hand tyres and other used things are sold in Germany..when it comes to tyres they lay emphasis on thread of tyres..and the tyres are not for export

kingreign:


I see you feel hurt and you're taking it personal. It's such a shame that you really need re-orientation but I don't have such luxury of time to teach you. I'd leave you to wallow in your ignorance.

Next time, do your home work before quoting me.

soloehis:
you can make your point without being abusive..all over the world five to six years is given while Michelin states their tires have a 10 year maximum life span and should be replaced at that point regardless of wear. A 2010 Michelin is still in use in Germany but u cant use even 2015 in nigeria..get your understanding right before coming all out as if we are fighting. The way you express your views speaks volumes of your personality

kingreign:


Highlight the part of my comments where I insulted you or shut the hell up!

I think you have comprehension, personality and attitude issues. Go work on yourself.

Mr. Lexus owner, if you don’t care about your life, please consider the life of your innocent passengers and other road users.

Next thread is “I was robbed on 3mb while changing my flat tire” or “Motorist injured while changing flat tire on the side of the road“.

Nigeria is harsh enough already, why add to the palava?

Suck it up, go and buy brand new Michelin/Firestone/Bridgestone/Dunlop and call it a day.

Let the devil be ashamed as you oppress in your Lexus.

adanny01:


In fact, anything rubber or plastic expires. Only that they don't have exact expiry dates. That's what even the manufacturer cannot tell you so they put the production date and you follow a safe maintenance guideline from say 5yrs to a maximum of 10yrs. Beyond, 10yrs no tire can be guaranteed even if it never touched the ground. Still this doesn't mean it has expired.

You can see a brand new 2009 tire which doesn't look expired, but when you start using it, it detoriates very rapidly within a month.

DelTel:


From where?

Most of them are either expired or old, and a new date super-imposed. I see companies buying them with connivance by Admins staff!

IfYouKnowYouKnow.

EgunMogaji2:


All the 8 Firestone’s that I have bought are fresh.

IKnowBecauseIKnow

DelTel:


where you get this one from ooo.

kingreign:


That nonsense tyre that is very uneven and doesn't get balanced no matter what you do in trying to balance the tyre?

I would suggest new tires because I have been using maxxis bought over three years ago regularly without having any issue at all. not even a leak as a matter of fact,I have never used my spare tire.

id4sho:

Austone can twist & Double king can get bulge.
my present double king got 3 bulge on Front Right tyre. just using it strictly city driving

uboma:



Wow.

I used to think that Austone was a good one from the low budget tyres.

Emmyk:

I got 4 maxxis about 4 weeks ago. I hope they serve me that long too.

dominic17:


It all depends on maintenance, make sure you don't over inflate it. check the gauge at least once in a month if the pressure is low, pump it to the recommended pressure. I wish you the best
