nabegibeg: You have them because it came from salvaged cars When a car gets into a minor accident, the owner abandon it and let the insurance company salvage the car That's where you get your snow tyres 1 Like |

AutoJoshNG: Dude M+S no be winter tyre, it is all season. And it's a blatant lie that it destroys road. The difference between all season tyre and summer tyre is that all season tyres have more traction which is good for icy winter road. As the name suggest, all season tyres are good for all the seasons ie Winter, spring, summer and fall As a matter of fact, I'm using my M+S tyres all year round, whether winter or summer, and nobody there stop me 7 Likes 1 Share |

Nicely copied and rewritten op, But WINTER tires dont damage roads. Just tell our government to build better roads. They are some old roads inside fedral low-cost estate of borno state that handled constant movement of heavy military vehicles & armored tanks for months without damage. And dis op they tell us ordnary Mud & Snow tire go damage road. Metchew AND NO!!! I FIND YOUR RHETORICAL QUESTION ANNOYING, I AIN'T BATTLING SH#T 6 Likes |

Most Nigerian drivers do not know anything about winter tyres. From my findings, 95% of used winter tyres in Nigeria are imported from Europe. |

Doesnt make sense. What you are saying, is that I am supposed to have 10 tyres this year for 1 of my cars oh. 4 Tyres for rainy season and 1 Spare, then another set of 4 tyres at dry season plus spare. What did you smoke ? No good road can be damaged by tyre. You study basic sciences from nursery one ? 8 Likes |

I don't know about it's effect on Nigerian roads, but I believe that poor quality of asphalt and higher temperature contributes a lot to road damages in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Dear Mr. Autojosh, I will like to correct a false claim in your article. The term [M+S] definitely mean "Mud and Snow" but it's never classified as a winter tyre. Any tyre that carries the label [M+S] is called "All Season" tyre, which means its can serve both in the winter and summer. The designated winter tyres will definitely have the label "winter" written on it or have images of snowflakes. I personally have seen cars with winter tyres on them, I advised the drivers to get rid of them not because of the damage to the road but they're noisy tyres especially upwards 60mph. I don't know if winter tyres damages Nigerian roads. 4 Likes 1 Share |

ALAYORMII: The winter tire is used during the snow period, and you can as well use all seasons tires which is good for all weather conditions. |

Thanks for this post. The first time i saw a tyre with metal spikes was with a friend, sincere4u. You can imagine the sound it makes on the ground, quite different from the usual tyres. He doesn't use that particular car often but i think he needs to read this......reason i mentoned him. |

AutoJoshNG: M+S is all season. I didn't know that they have tires for snow. What are snow chains again used for? \ 2 Likes |

In Europe, drivers change their winter tyres to summer tyres between ending of March and early May. Summer tyres are known for its smoothness on asphalt and firm grip on wet roads. |

AutoJoshNG: Actually having M+S on a tyre doesn't necessarily mean it is a winter tire. It might just be all season with decent grip on snow but not for severe snow. It is only when u have the snowflake symbol that signifies snow tyres. I have a set of Bridgestone rueter rvt on my car with the M+S symbol but no snowflake. They are all season tyres. 2 Likes

Well what else can I say, people have answered the op already. M+S is all season and tyres don't damage roads, it is always the other way round. Except you are driving some heavy military tanks on some poorly built road. |

There are also all season tyre which works well for all seasons But like someone mentioned, the blame game should also rest on the government that do not have a standardized procedure through its agencies( Customs and FRSC) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

My own tyre has iron round it, the moment I pass it informs everyone of my arrival, no thanks to IBU our continental driver who accompanied to buy it at new market. Police do stop me because of the noise and some people will be calling my attention that my tyre have picked nail. |
