Frequently Asked Questions

Replace tyres if you notice signs like tread depth below 1.6 mm, visible damage (cuts, cracks, or bulges), excessive vibration, unusual noises, or if the tyre is over 4 years old, regardless of tread condition. In the UAE, tyres older than 4 years may fail RTA inspections due to heat-related degradation. Check the sidewall for a four-digit code (e.g., 2319 means manufactured in the 23rd week of 2019) to determine age.

Check tyre pressure every two weeks and before long trips, ideally when tyres are cold (early morning or after minimal driving). High UAE temperatures can cause pressure fluctuations, so frequent checks are crucial.

Tyre size is marked on the sidewall, e.g., 225/55 R16 95V. The first number (225) is the tread width in mm. The second (55) is the aspect ratio, or sidewall height as a percentage of width. “R16” indicates a 16-inch rim diameter. The final number and letter (95V) denote load index and speed rating.

Tyres in the UAE typically last 40,000-60,000 km or 3-5 years, depending on driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance. Harsh UAE heat accelerates degradation, so replace tyres before 5 years, even if tread remains.

Yes, UAE regulations, enforced by the RTA, prohibit tyres older than 5 years from the manufacturing date, regardless of condition, due to heat-related degradation. Tyres over 4 years may fail RTA inspections.
