Lahore high court Judge gets his car tyres changed for 74000 USD

Staggered tyres for the highest spec S Class of latest generation are around £1200-1500 in UK from premium brands like Pirelli, Michelin and Continental. Lets say that by the time these tyres get to Pakistan, price is increased 5 times due to taxes and shipping costs. This is just taking a p***.
Are these run flat variants?

Just a reminder we all here can be held for contempt for questioning the “Honourable Judge Saab”

Run flats are not that much more expensive. Mercedes recommended Pirelli P-zero 4 in 285-35-R20 run flats are £309 per tyre to be exact at National tyres atm. If you get the same tyre from a dealership, price goes up by around £80-100.

I can send him Merc tyres under 1000 AUD. Return rest of the money to poor people of Pakistan.

This is ridiculous,
but playing devil's advocate
the mercedes and the tyres may not be road version,
it maybe the armored version,
in which case one can understand the cost.
A set of 4 tyres, 19 inches from Michelin would be about 900 - 1150 USD.

I find it hard to believe that in Pakistan the cost of military grade tyres including installation is 74,000 USD. Even half that in a first world country would be laughed at.

There's a 65% total tax on imported tyre.
Armoured sedan run flat tyres are about 600 £ a piece in UK retail price.
That's 2400 pounds for all 4 or add a spare. Then 3000 pounds retail price in UK.
Add 65% tax. That's total of about 5000 £ or 6800 USD.

How did he mage to spend more than 11 times the amount 74000 usd?
Who says we are a poor country?

Damn!

He could have bought another vehicle for that price!
Bit a vehicle without tyre is nit the same bro...come on get with the program

Let me ask the question which the mods should be asking; when threads with random tweets about certain people are quickly removed, why is there no one even asking for the proof of this claim? Shi*ting on judiciary is the favorite thing these days!
