It is always best to go for summer tokunbor tyres as against winter ones. The summer tyres or 'straight line' as coined from the street because of it mostly straight lined thread pattern conforms more with our weather hence offers more usage period. It is becoming more difficult in getting summer tyres in some specific sizes in most tokunbor tyres warehouses in Lagos as most of them are bought are taken to the north, Abuja especially.

Tips to buying used tyres
Grade: Based on my experience, there are about 3 grades of used tyres.
grade A: This are sparingly used brand new tyres that were removed because of seasonal change i.e winter to summer in countries where such law applies or as a result of periodic changes by the user. Some users might decide to changes their tyres within 8 months,12 months or 18 months regardless of the state of the tyres or the mileage they ran with it. Tyres in this category always come with full thread marks and most times in very healthy state but due diligence still as to be observed when purchasing this types of tyres. You need to check if there are no damage/weakness to any part of the tyres especially to the side wall hence why it was removed prematurely. This sets of tyres are usually kept separately and sold at higher prices compared to other grades.
grade B: Most used tyres falls within this category and you'll find a handfull of them in different sizes. They are tyres that as been used fairly/considerably well by owners and as been considered a loyal servant and is thus worthy of replacement. Most don't come in full thread marks like their grade A counterparts but with little or no damages. They will do the job too but not as much as the grade A.
grade C(aka Malamala): This ones are usually categorised as condemned/damaged tyres due to one damage or the other. Most local vulcanizers usually go for this categories cos of their cheap prices and because they believe the damages can be fixed by them.
I will continue later.

Hello, Mr. Emmancecute. I'm sorry, I don't know there are exceptions to the DOT. I will never intend to bad mouth your business. Perhaps, folks should always check the DOT of the tyre online to compare the style of the DOT inscription of the manufacturer. I learnt a new thing. I thank Almighty God that spared my life due to expired repackaged new Goodyear tyres I bought on Toyin Street, Ikeja.

There are Tips to buying used tyres and I will be sharing them here based on my experience.

OviaMeka:
Between Toyota Camry pencil 1999 Vs Toyota corolla model 2004 which of it is strong and reliable for long distance journey and last long

go fornthe corolla, more recent and very good economy. You can't go wrong with the corolla if you get a good one.

Another one

Calitoscassius:
He is not wrong. You need to go do some researches about tenant/landlord rights.

ok Sir.

Draslo:
Not a lawyer but if you serve me quit notice and I'm not owing, you're just wasting your time. If my rent expiration coincides with the quit notice, I'll flex 6-months sara and nothing go happen.

The problem is when landlords issue a quit notice in the morning, they expect you out by evening. Where is the sense in that? As if I'll be living under the bridge and contacting housing agents from there.

stop deceiving yourself.
