Vulcanizers In Nigeria Are Killing People by Antoeni(m): 12:16pm On Mar 23, 2017 |
IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO ALL VEHICLE USERS! Good Evening sirs. Many people have been wondering what could be the cause of the incessant tyre burst accidents on Nigerian roads. The major cause is that we put too much pressure in our tyres. How did I know? Between February to April, 2016, there has been incessant fatal road traffic crashes caused by tyre blowout. They include the crash which claimed the lives of the Minister and his family, the seven Doctors from Ekiti and then, the more tragic death of students from kano and their driver. I know that tyre knowledge is average based on findings by the Federal Road safety. I however know that the need for appropriate tyre care has remained top priority on this page. At a point I thought I had said all that I needed to say until the rich doses of tyre information I received during the recent stakeholder’s forum by the Federal Road Safety Corps on the theme, Promoting Safe tyre use in Nigeria. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/05/14/know-your-tyre/ Pls check the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle and others you know 38 Likes 17 Shares

Great information. Whenever I visit the vulcanizer to check my tires the clueless guys always tell me my pressure is low and I ask them where should it be they normally say 50, some even say 'oga na Jeep e suppose be 60'. I just laugh and tell them never to inflate above 35. The recommended is 32 but I do 35. 30 Likes 1 Share |

Truly on point!!! One day I told a valcanizer to pump one of my tires and he inflated it to 50 where as what is written on my tire is 40...immediately I asked him to deflect it to 40 and he started talking rubbish that am trying to teach him his work... I just collected the gage and did it my self and drove off. 17 Likes

Turks: 36 o. When you drive air they inflate the tire especially when travelling so before you know 36 don go 40. You do 40 and you travelling just know say if you no stop to gauge your tires. You they on your own. 5 Likes |

The thread on a 7 year old tire is most definitely worn. Also Tires have maximum speed ratings. (Maximum speed that it should be driven at) Nigerians need to educate themselves Nigeria is a place where artisans are not well trained. Poor knowledge is transferred from boss to apprentices. Unfortunately people put their trust in all these services without even thinking. There needs to be regulation in a lot of industries but in Niaja, National association of vulcanizers go riot along with NURTW. 7 Likes 3 Shares |
