And under whose authority did they expire a tire they didn't make? Instead of educating vulcanisers and cars owners on the dangers of over inflation or underinflation they are busy condemning what they know nothing about how it's made.
Last I checked, they can be sued to court.
Silly set of idiots.
Our roads have virtually no Road signs, no crash barriers, no Lane departure warning stripes, no lights, no freaking safety features and they are having an orgasm over tyres.
It was formerly overspeeding, now it's expired tyres.
Chai, why them born me for this country self?

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) has announced that it would begin to confiscate vehicles with expired or substandard tyres.

According to Boboye Oyeyemi, the Corps Marshal of the agency, the measure became necessary to curb incessant road accidents usually caused by poor tyre usage in vehicles.

“What we’re going to commence immediately is that any vehicle that has expired tyres or substandard tyres, we’re going to impound the vehicles,” Mr. Oyeyemi said. “Enough is enough to this. All the crises we’re talking about from February this year to April, they were all tyre-related.

“After impounding it (the vehicle), we’ll ask the owner to go and replace it with a genuine one. The passengers we’ll arrange for their continuous journey so as to reduce the pains. But I will not allow an expired tyre fitted on a vehicle to continue the journey,” Mr. Oyeyemi said.

He also decried the lack of tyre manufacturing companies in the country and appealed to appropriate authorities to do their utmost best in ensuring that the situation is addressed.

“It’s not a problem that started today, we’ve been raising this alarm since Dunlop and Michelin shut down in Nigeria and relocated,” the FRSC boss said.

“So it’s a result of this that led to over 250 different distorted substandard tyres in the country today and we appeal to Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and Nigerian Association of Chamber of Commerce Industry Mines and Agriculture to do their very best in looking into this and see how tyre manufacturing plants can be brought into life.

He spoke at a Stakeholders' forum in Abuja.

BUGOFF:
Senseless move to further amplify the suffering common man.
Why don't they sanction the importers of the expired tyres, first?
Very senseless move...the cart before the horse.

casket:
Good move..hope government reduce the tax on the imported new one to make it affordable for everyone.
Imagine civil servant with minimum wage of 18k buying a new tire that cost 22k !

it's time FRSC is scraped.. they are useless...completely..
just drive on our highway and you will see various
unsafe objects like fallen trees, fallen trailers, trucks, trucks with overloaded goods, trucks with no rear light or sign ., no road signs, no safety signs etc .yet FRSc only problem are private cars..they flag you down just to ask for fire extinguisher and caution sign.. very ridiculous
never seen such in any country.. except ours..
they are a nuisance and bereft of any idea..
last time it was speed breaker installation.. now expired tires...
ocholi accident ..was it expired tire? the NMA accidents ..was it expired tires...
FRSC should.be scrapped soonest.... and disbanded..
they only look for ways to make money into their pocket..

mostyg:
They should also start arresting chairmen, governors and president with bad roads in their domains. Bad roads have caused more accident than expired tyres.
