For the folks talking about tyres and all, that's a picture of the car before I travelled with it in the mechanics place to check all checkables. Tyres, changed break pads etc. As a fact I left ekiti for Ibadan 9pm Sunday and the car was without a stain I even did 130+ on the sick Ife Ibadan road.

AloneTK:You don't need brakes to shift gears in an automatic corolla when the car is moving. |

A pity a lot of folks are quick to point out accusations without getting the point behind the topic. For the name calling, I forgive whoever thinks he has it all and for the shoes etc, that was the vukganizer after first technical university I gave paid to help change to the spare tyres. As a for the car, I got it when all my cars were down due to illness so I hardly even use it or so and for those talking about the expiry for the tyres, I really can't say much about that. A day before I left I still took it to the mechanic to ascertain the condition the inky thing he pointed out was the break pads in the driver side which I changed asap and few other stuffs. Either ways enjoy |

Bacteriologist:Not just corolla. The only time u need brake is when shifting out of park. |
| Re: My Tyre Got Ruined While Speeding On The Highway by abatically(m): 6:24pm On Sep 21, 2021 |
greatbrian:The reason people attacked u was because of the way u put the blame on the Corolla as if it was the Corolla that caused the tire to blow out. A lot of things can cause a tire to blow out at high speed. Over inflated tire will blow out at high speed, u really need to get one of those portable tire guages, these useless road side vilcanizers are murderers, one of them once put 60psi on my tire when I was about going on a long journey. That's a tire that was supposed to be inflated to 32 at cold, he put 60, I had to double check and deflated it myself to the recommended pressure. Another thing that can cause tire blow out is work our tire, bad roads, etc. One of these is the culprits, not the Corolla. |

The threads on your tyre are worn. Get a replacement. You can get a new tyre for about 15k. |
| Re: My Tyre Got Ruined While Speeding On The Highway by chival(f): 6:44pm On Sep 21, 2021 |
abatically:One inflated mine to 50psi even though I kept telling him to keep it at 35. Thank God I kept getting this nagging feeling to check again. I checked a few days later and had to have the pressure reduced. |

BabaIbo:The more you talk on this, the more you show your ignorance of automobiles. SUVs are actually not safe for high speed, especially when sharp bends are involved. Google or head to youtube and get some enlightenment bro. |
| Re: My Tyre Got Ruined While Speeding On The Highway by greatbrian(op): 6:49pm On Sep 21, 2021 |
abatically:I didn't blame the car though. Maybe it sounded does. I was in an haste and as a fact I learnt not to speeed with Japanese the day an rx330 almost drifted inside the bush while entering a corner with 120 or so. Though the breaking system was just too bad and I mean this. Either way sha. The thread is over and for the dude chasing unrealistic clout using me to show is English speaking skills gravatar or whatever he his I hope he meets his match cos am not. |

greatbrian:Bro if you continue this your reckless speeding on Nigerian roads, simply because your mechanic (most of them are not reliable) gave you an all clear, you will either kill or maim yourself. Use your brain, even if it's a German car, watch your speed on Nigerian roads. |

greatbrian:And still doing the same thing. It is well sha. |

BabaIbo:What do you mean by the emboldened?? So Why does the speedometer gauge exceed 120km/h if you are not meant to go beyond it?? The bottom line is that we lack maintenance culture in this country, just very few people take it seriously. The bad roads too are not to be ignored. Go to YouTube and watch drivers max out their speedometers on freeways in the USA. I'm not talking about sports cars or modified cars with turbo engines and all that that, I'm talking about regular saloon cars and SUVs you see everyday you step out. |

| Re: My Tyre Got Ruined While Speeding On The Highway by INDUSTRIALFAN(m): 8:39pm On Sep 21, 2021 |
greatbrian:you better get properly informed before you blame it on your car. You were speeding with the wrong car tyre and you had a blow out you de complain. Depending on the rating of your tyre, there are certain speeds ypu cant attain. See the images i posted below to understand better.

obidaddy:You're the one displaying ignorance here. I guess someone is mistaken sedan for SUV. There is difference between the two. Just because you don't know doesn't make it non-existing. Go and read more or watch videos on drivers drifting with Porsche Cayenne, Crosstour, X6 and the likes and keep your enlightenment to yourself. |
| Re: My Tyre Got Ruined While Speeding On The Highway by BabaIbo: 8:48pm On Sep 21, 2021 |
abatically:Yes, it can outrun a Honda accord on a free highway. Make una no dey argue out of ignorance. Do you even know what a v8 stands for or you are just arguing blindly? While so sport cars carry such engine or higher if it doesn't matter? BTW, can a Honda accord outrun a crosstour/bmwX6/porsche cayenne? Let's use something on similar level for comparison because the Lexus or Prado with V8 engine go dust am far far, na wetin I don experience first hand. |
| Re: My Tyre Got Ruined While Speeding On The Highway by BabaIbo: 8:50pm On Sep 21, 2021 |
Tapout:I made that statement with respect to Nigerian roads not USA roads. Let's be realistic here, no be every car dey safe to run such speed or higher with on Nigerian roads. |

BabaIbo:This is where ur lack of knowledge comes but I don't blame u. A lot of people think every v8 powered cars is faster than every v6. That's so wrong. I will stick to the Lexus gx470 for this comparison. What u don't know is that the weight of a car plus aerodynamics determine how fast they will be. 2009 Lexus gx470 is boxy and weighs over 1 tonne more than a 2009 Honda acdord V6. Bro that V6 is faster, just that it will do so at a higher rpm than the Lexus. Why do u think power bikes with smaller engines are faster than a lot of V6 cars with bigger engines? Because of their light weight. 2009 Honda Accord V6 specs 3.5L V6 271 HP 0-100km/hr in 6.9 seconds Quarter mile in 15 seconds 0-200km/hr in 30.4 seconds 2009 Lexus gx470 4.7L V8 263 hp 0-100km/hr in 8.2 seconds Quarter mile in 15.9 seconds 0-200km/hr in 58 seconds U still think the V8 Lexus is faster than the V6 accord? Guy no be ever V8 fast past even some 4 plugs sef. The weight and aerodynamics plays a lot here. U also have 4o consider the fact that most SUVs are not built for for cornering at high speed. If u check the sun visor of many SUVs u will see the warning like the picture below.

greatbrian:Very true. Different tires have different speed ratings. |
| Re: My Tyre Got Ruined While Speeding On The Highway by shayubobo: 9:47pm On Sep 21, 2021 |
abatically:Stop arguing with him. Someone comparing crosstour with accord.....can't you see that he can't even differentiate cars. I bet he doesn't know that it was honda that made crosstour. If we should tell him that there is even an i4 engine with turbo charge that will outperform a v6 now,he will still argue |

Take it easy guy. I love excessive speed but when am on lagos Ibadan I take it easy not for anything but for the fact that many souls have departed this life on that road alone, i still remember my deskmate in maryland convent private school Ikeja who lost her dad on the road back in the 80's she did not come to school for 1 week only to find out the reason was she lost her dad on lagos Ibadan express way. She was fatherless from primary school. Now I have my kids I still remember that misfortune of my deskmate in primary school and drive 100km/h or less. Let me even tell you, in my hey days I was doing 190km/h in my Nissan maxima and 240km/h in my Benz. I will leave lagos 10pm and arrive abuja 3am, My driving was so "good" people usually do "waka" sign to me on the express road. Imagine a distance of like 1300km and over 12 cars doing "waka" sign at different instances on same trip including trailers sometimes. Today, am a changed man, I do 150km trip on weekends doing between 65km/h and 80km/h so that my children can have a father and not end up like my deskmate in primary school. greatbrian: |

shayubobo:Lol as in eh. The crosstour is basically an 8th gen honda afford hatchback and wagon hybrid. Not an SUV |
| Re: My Tyre Got Ruined While Speeding On The Highway by BabaIbo: 10:09pm On Sep 21, 2021 |
abatically:Smiles, you are trying to be smart here but it won't work man. Why don't you use Porsche cayenne or BMW X6 that are not high or heavy as Lexus GX470 in your analysis? Why are you using GX470? Even at that, them no be mate, if that accord or corolla runs up to certain speed, it becomes light and as such very risky. What you don't know is what it lacks in weight, it gains it via the engine work/efficiency. On a very high speed, you won't even feel the heaviness, because it would have balanced out, unlike the other that becomes lighter and dangerous because it may skid off the road due to lack of balance. Why do you think most superfast cars carry v8 engines as their basic? I am still standing on my point that a Prado vxr/vxl will outrun a accord or corolla when handled by drivers with equal driving proficiencies. Bro, dem no be mate abeg, seeing and testing is believing in this case. No be by typing on Nairaland. You sure say you dey drive? |
