Gotcha. I always tell the vulkanizer to pump them to 34psi. He always say they are too low, but I ignore him all the time.

What's the recommended PSI for the tyre?

44psi will be maximum tire pressure not recommended. Recommended is usually less than 40

Exactly. I bought 4 brand new Sunfull tires early this year, one of them developed a big bulge last month, I changed it. I just noticed that another one has worn out terribly, will soon change it. Anything China tire is not for me anymore.

Kingreign was right about those SUNFULL tires.

Absolute piece of rubbish. Got two new SUNFULL tires in 2019. Travelled around Sept this year from Phc to Asaba and on my return trip, the tires were already dancing skelewu.

Had to replace the entire 2. Very annoying something. Meanwhile, my 2 front tokunbo tires I bought from Gazzuzz in 2018 are still in top form.

Some1 said it all, it depend on maintenance. Nigeria vulcanizer, only few understd d gauge they hold and most of them are using inaccurate gauge, u tell them to put 35psi but they put 60psi , 50psi in d front while 30psi and 40psi at d back. Only few of them are using accurate gauge. I'm using double king pressure tyre and it serve me well. I have traveled with it from Ogun to Minna and Minna to PH but no regret

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.

Bros, The maxis tyres how can someone get the original ones.

I am considering buying new and affordable tyres but scared of fake ones.

I go to tyre service centres to fix my tyres. I have stopped patronising local vulcanisers long time ago.

Last year I bought two tyres brand new. 3 months down the line, one developed a huge bulge, the other started vibrating only to discover it was bent. My true pressure was 30PSI always. My crime was driving from Uyo to Calabar and back then these tyre went bad.

But Tokumbo tyres I use never had such nastiness.

I have been using tokunbo tyres on my car now for three years. Funny I bought the tyres then due to financial constraints. The new tyres I bought for my other car after wards is gone, but this tokunbo ones light truck abi wetin Dem call am still dey very good state.
