M+S is all season.

I didn't know that they have tires for snow.

What are snow chains again used for?

SweetBoyFriend:

That's a lie

Stop blaming Nigerian drivers who are the best drivers in the world

The first mistake you made is by saying that M+S tyres are snow tires, You're a big joke

Dude, are you serious ?? M+S tyres are all season tyres, you can use them in spring, autumn, winter and summer

Snow tyres do not damage asphalt

Go to Maine where it snows all year round or Alaska where it snows 7 months in a year, their roads are in good condition

How do you think that an ordinary snow tyres would cause road damage ?? What then would 18 Wheeler truck tyres do to those roads ?? Use your brain

Road damages occur because of cheap materials used in road construction and poor maintenance

No one in the USA changes their snow tyres and they have good roads

Stop putting your blame on tyres

I would have proved you wrong by going around in the summer and taking pictures of cars that has snow tyres on them and then show you the road they drive it on but i don't have that time to waste on some BS

I will delete my Nairaland account because of this ignorance

Winter tyres? In Nigeria??

I am sure you are currently battling with these questions at the moment.

Sure, some of us drive with winter tyres in Nigeria.. knowingly or unknowingly. The problem is, these winter tyres damage our roads as they become soft and sticky in hot weather thereby peeling the road surface quicker. Some of them even have metal studs/spikes which cause further damage to our roads. You would even hear the noise of the studs grinding on the road or the tyres sticking to the ground when the cars are driving close to you.

How many of us ever did a thorough inspection of the tyres that came with our cars from USA, Canada and Europe? Go check your car tyres right away.. ensure it does not have the M+S symbol which stands for MUD & SNOW and/or the three-peaked mountain with snowflake symbol as seen in the attached picture.

Several accidented cars are shipped to Nigeria and a reasonable chunk of those accidents are caused by snow... which means those cars may have been running on winter tyres.

By law, you are not meant to use these tyres during summer because they are bad for hot and dry pavement. Only summer tyres can give you the safety and performance you need in warm weather.

With their special compounds and tread patterns, winter tyres are designed to stay soft and flexible in cold conditions, providing traction and grip in low temperatures on wet and icy surfaces. But with the hot weather in Nigeria, they lose this advantage, grip declines and the tread starts to wear faster as the tyres become soft and sticks to the hot roads.

This is arrant nonsense. If the siren is illegal, why is the Hilux truck decked up with the equipment. The man is a staff of an emergency outfit in the cesspit called Nigeria.

JideAmuGiaka:
I am the winner, I hit them bellow the belt hence their worthless mentions.

They're seriously pained and that's what I want.

Explorers:
Bro this not about Nigeria alone, it's a global issue.

Even the peaceful countries are feeling the heat, it's spreading like virus.

I saw a video today, some people took their captives numbering more than 10 to a place like abattoir.

They tied their hands behind them, the captives were being picked one after the other and they were slithering their throats like Christmas chicken.

That 3minutes video gave me a bad day.

Sometimes i just wish it's possible they factory reset the planet without back up.

Planet Earth is beautiful, but the occupants.

Of all the gifts, it is this useless Oduduwa head you gave the man, is the U.S ambassador a babalawo.

The place was burning gently when I passed there. Now this graphic scene is entirely different.

oshiokpu:
Going forward, try not to pay attention to things that do not intrest you or are not productive like you say. Your opinion counts for jack.
You calling me jobless when you don't know me is further proof to the fact that you're suffering from poverty of the mind.This is my last post on this issue, you can goan kill yourself.

oshiokpu:
You guys should stop with all this hypocrisy already. You saw a thread about a show you supposedly didn't like yet you still opened the thread and had the time to comment..how are you any different from those watching the show?

Jacksonville:
Now look who got hurt .. Such is life. The least you can do sitting at the comfort of your home behind the keyboard, is to edit my post.


You can run along now. Ciao!
