'Stay away from expired or substandard tyres' -FRSC cautions
Motorists have been advised to steer clear of used, expired or substandard tyres.
Substandard Tyres
This is because these kind of tyres often lead to accidents, which could lead to the loss of lives and properties.
Speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Alhaji Ahmed Hassan, a Deputy Corps Marshal (DCM) of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) said: “We have discovered recently that there are many causes of road traffic crashes, prominent among them, the use of fake and substandard tyres."
