In the UAE's extreme heat and challenging road conditions, proper tyre maintenance isn't just about saving money—it's critical for your safety.
Book a Tyre CheckCheck tyre pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Heat increases pressure, so check when tyres are cool.
Misalignment causes uneven wear and poor handling. Get it checked if you hit a curb or every 10,000 km.
Rotate your tyres to ensure even wear across all four. This extends their life and maintains balanced handling.
Minimum legal tread depth is 1.6mm, but for safety in hot weather, consider replacing at 3mm to prevent blowouts.
Summer temperatures on tarmac can exceed 60°C. This softens rubber and increases blowout risk. Under-inflated tyres flex more, generating even more heat. Keep pressures accurate!
Driving on sand often requires deflating tyres. Crucially, you MUST re-inflate them immediately when returning to asphalt to avoid damaging the sidewalls.
Don't wait for a flat tyre. Watch out for these warning signs that indicate immediate replacement is needed.
