I am only concerned about if it happens because I receive calls in the day on the highways when accident occurs and I am most likely going to tow it back to the city and na your money go waste. The 180km is not Nigerian speed limit. We already have official speed limit, that's the bad spots on the high way. Highlander can not get to 140km without vibrating and in some cars, the engine will trip off warning you not to do pass yourself. When you see those inter state transport buses involved in road crashes caused by burst tyres, you will understand the underlying reason that motorists uses the C tyres thinking that it is stronger than other tyres and so you find Sienna also using C tyres. A lot of Mercedes owners have complained about their cars tripping off on the highway when their tyres cannot withstand the speed of the car. If by looking at the tyre from my office, I could tell you that it was a traction A, and an S rating, you should know that there is nothing more to talk about. I am not ruining your business of selling your tyres by bringing to your attention that the tyre is not supposed to be bought by a supposedly enlightened guy who is anxious to pass the tyre to another guy. .

We're talking about the tyres you intend to sell and not the brochure. Is your tyre B traction temperature b tyre? Is your tyre S speed rating? This tyre is not a summer tyre and not ideal for our roads. When accidents occur, we never focus on the causative factors like the tyres which is the only point of contact between the car and the road. If you have an S rating tyre on your car in the summer especially in countries that enforce strict tyre regulations, you can be deemed to be suicidal as the car will explode on the road. This tyre can not withstand heat above 25-30 degrees. Those speed ratings are the speed limiters. A Ferrari can never be fitted with even a V tyre rating ditto a Benz or BMW. You got a wrong tyre for your car. It's everywhere in the market and even G wagons are being kitted with such tyres

This tyre is not suitable for Nigerian roads. You can't use a temperature b traction b tyre in Nigeria. From the look of the tyre, it is S speed rating. Return it to the seller

Oga, on gumtree a UK trading site just as jiji, I saw a cheap 18 year old car for £300. The owner wanted to add to his ticket money traveling to the US, so wanted to sell for nothing. £300 is normally pocket change few years ago, so I did a costing.
Buy £300
Miscellaneous £100
Ship £1000
Ie @2150 to £1= N3,010,000
Clearing N3,500,00
Total=6,510,000!
So on a dead cheap 18 year old car you spend 6.5m. If it is a normal 5-10 year old car costing £15k you need atleast 40m to ride such vehicle!
Apc, Tinubu have completely destroyed the purchasing power of nigerians. Even banks, big companies can no longer buy brand news vehicles, not to talk of ordinary citizens. Accidented vehicles bought on copart some of us use to look down on before, now we cannot even afford them.
