What is a toks tyre? It is a used tyre that was removed from a Foreign used vehicle. (In better shape than one removed from a nigerian used vehicle )


1. DO not buy a winter branded Toks tyre

2. Ensure age of toks tyre is less than 4years

3. Do not over gauge tyre (35psi max!)

4. Do not drive at speeds Exceeding 200KM/HR

5. Buy Trusted brands like michelin and dunlop

Toks tyres will not fail if you Follow these guidelines.

...We clocked to between 180-190 km/h the first time, then we changed and I took the wheels. Lo and behold, this car surprised me with an impressive 209km/h and could have gone more if I had pushed further but then the sweet part of the road was finishing. The interesting thing was that this car was so damn stable and we could only feel little vibrations at over 200km/h...

Please stay off tokunbo tyres at all cost!!!

We can now conclusively say that 85% of car talk are using toks.. Nice revelation.

erico2k2:

It has been demonstrated time without number that those things sold as brand new tyres in 9ja are death traps.,more often than non they pack up with the 2 nd year.

As an addendum never use a toks tyre for more than 2 years

They are cheap d4 change after two yrs esp if it's 5 or 6 yrs from manufacture date.

I have never wasted my money on new tyres I buy toks Goodyear n Dunlop sometimes even Dunlop winter sports. I ve nt had a tyre failure in 5 years n I dnt drive past 120kmhr.


D truth must be told new tyres are expensive but they are d best esp if u r not buying China dnt get it twisted. Toks Goodyear is better than any brand new China tyre but toks good year can't be better than brand new good year

angels09:

Like us you're also balancing your pocket. If not you can buy double king tyres that will get twisted at the first serious kickdown

Buying a toks tyre is about saving cost, it's risky but usually worth it.

Most of those tyres are from accidented cars God dey sha

So there was this day I was headed to Lagos from Ilorin, Kwara State. I remembered there was this express road - Ilorin-Ogbomosho expressway. So me and my partner-in-crime, my twin brother decided to do something crazy about 1 year ago. My car which is a 2007 Mercedes Benz C280 4MATIC was just 9 months with me and delivers impressive performance, so we decided to give her the push of her life and see how she would fair.

We clocked to between 180-190km/h the first time, then we changed and I took the wheels. Lo and behold, this car surprised me with an impressive 209km/h and could have gone more if I had pushed further but then the sweet part of the road was finishing. The interesting thing was that this car was so damn stable and we could only feel little vibrations at over 200km/h.

We learnt quite a few things about car handling at the high speed. It was a costly fun though but it was fun. The car would normally consume about 15 litres of fuel from Lagos to Ibadan which is about 140-150km distance with A/c on and about 100km/h average speed. But on this day, we burnt that same amount of fuel just covering about 50km distance.






At the end of the whole frenzy, after another 1hr drive past oyo, we discovered the car started vibrating at speeds above 80km/h and kept flashing the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) caution. In summary, we got to the car checked the next day in Lagos and discovered the only tokunbo tyre I had on had failed and twisted, that was the reason for the vibration.

Please stay off tokunbo tyres at all cost!!!
