James was always in a rush. As a full-time taxi driver driving a 650 cc Suzuki Alto ,he spent his days weaving through the bustling streets of Nairobi, picking up and dropping off clients. His car was his lifeline, but there was one thing he never paid much attention to … his tyres.

“They still have tread,” he would say whenever someone pointed out the cracks on the sidewalls. “Besides, changing tyres is expensive.”

One evening, after a long day of driving, James picked up his last client near Westlands. It had just started drizzling, and the roads were slick. As he approached a roundabout, he tapped the brakes but instead of slowing down, the car skidded.

The worn-out tyres couldn’t grip the wet tarmac. In seconds, the vehicle spun out of control and narrowly missed hitting a matatu. He finally came to a stop inches from a streetlight pole, his heart pounding and his client mortified.

Shaken but unharmed, James knew he had been lucky this time. The next morning, he drove straight to the tyre shop and replaced all four tyres. It cost him money, but he realized something important: safety is priceless.

From that day on, James made it a habit to check his tyre pressure, inspect the tread, and rotate them regularly. His rides became smoother, fuel consumption improved, and most importantly, he never had to experience that terrifying loss of control again and his clients will always be safe
