SPARE WHEELS

Have you ever pondered to think about the most important accessory in your car? is it the cigar lighter? the bluetooth, your toolkit? or your jack-wheel spanner-sparewheel, these important things differ according to our personal experiences, but getting stuck at the side of the road because of punctured tyre or burst can be nightmarish if you dont have spare wheel and accessories,

Imagine, getting stuck where there s no help. My advice always check your spare when ever you want to make long journeys, make sure its in good condition, never be a stunt-personj by driving without a spare wheel at all, it saves lives

DO NOT PANIC WHEN YOU HAVE A TYRE BLOWOUT WHILE DRIVING; THINGS TO DO

(1) DON'T PANIC in the event of a blowout, calm yourself down fast because you may start to loose control, you need to take charge.

(2) Hold FIRMLY to your steering wheel with both hand, NO VIGOROUS TURNING, as you concentrate on the road and your mirrors, in seconds study the movement pattern of the car. Your car will naturally swerve to the direction of the blown tyre.

(3) Gradually take off your foot from the accelerator, DON'T ATTEMPT TO PRESS THE BRAKES, IF YOU DO, YOU HAVE A 95% CHANCE OF A SOMERSAULT. The car will decelerate gradually while you concentrate on the road to avoid collision with any other road user.

(4) Disengage the gears of the car by shifting to neutral (N) as you still maintain a firm grip on the sheering wheel and put your eyes on the road.

(5) After a while depending on your initial speed, your car comes to a speed less than 60km/h when it is now safe to GRADUALLY apply the brakes and navigate to the side walk

(6) Ultimately, it is now safe to put the car to a complete stop and turn off the engine. You have just saved yourself and passengers from untimely death.

NOTE:

Of course, everyone in the car will be in a panic mode BUT this is NOT THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THEM, it is TIME TO CONCENTRATE.

Please, don't just read share on your page and copy to other platforms, you may just be about to save a life.

BRIEF HISTORY OF HANKOOK TYRES

Hankook Tyre was established by Jae Hun Chung's grandfather in 1941 as the Chosun Tyre Company and was renamed to Hankook Tire Manufacturing in 1968. Both words Choson and Hankook (Hanguk) refer to the names of the ancient and historic kingdoms of Korea.

Hankook Tyre's worldwide reputation has largely grown due to its radial tire and bias-ply tire production. The company now supplies tyres as original equipment to various automakers. In addition to producing about 92 million tyres per year, the company also sells batteries, alloy wheels, and brake pads.

Hankook Tyre Co. has announced that the company will invest $1.1 billion to build a factory in West Java, Indonesia as part of a plan to become the 5th largest tyre manufacturer in the world.On June 9, 2011 a ground breaking ceremony was held at a 60-hectare area as a regional hub production for export to Asian, North America and Middle East countries

In October 2013, the company announced plans to open a new factory in Tennessee.
