Winter or M+S tyres

[makende_bigi]

I imported a vehicle from Japan in 2014.It came fitted with Yokohama tyres with pretty good tread depth and the tyres have served me well so far.The only problem, or so it appears, is that they are winter tyres - they actually have M+S engraved on them which means they are meant for driving in muddy or snowy conditions.Now, a friend of mine tells me it’s dangerous to ride on such tyres bearing in mind in Kenya, the weather tends to be hot most of the year.He claims tyre bursts are common for such tyres when driven in summer conditions.How true is this?A Google search tells me it only increases the braking distances.Anyone who could shed some light on this?

use the tires. they’re ok. the difference is the grip not the tensile strength. (experience)

The difference is very small. The tyres are safe. Tumia hadi kwa mkia
