How greedy dealers remould worn-out tyres, endanger lives of unsuspecting motorists
PERCY ANI writes about the activities of greedy tyre dealers putting motorists in harm’s way
An event planner based in Abeokuta, Ogun State identified only as Bola went for a routine tyre change in the state capital sometime in 2016. She noticed the previous day that one of the tyres of her car was bad and needed replacement. Her aged but reliable Toyota Sienna never gave her any problems before then.
On getting to her regular vulcaniser’s shop, she requested a used tyre. Someone told her about what she termed the durability and safety of used tyres compared to inferior ones sold as new tyres.
