KUWAIT CITY, Aug 8: Ministry of Commerce and Industry announced that 405 used tires have been confiscated from an auto shop in Jahra Governorate.

The ministry affirmed that the experience of its inspectors enabled them to discover the huge quantity of used tires that were hidden above the shop in a manner that would suggest they were not for sale.

It urged all consumers not to purchase such tires because they are cheap, as they may endanger their lives on the road especially during the hot summer season.
