Tires take a beating on Dubai’s hot roads. The combination of high-speed driving, extreme temperatures, and rough surfaces accelerates tire wear and increases the risk of blowouts.
Why It Happens:
- Heat expands air inside the tire, causing over-inflation.
- Under-inflated tires overheat and wear unevenly.
- Old tires lose elasticity and grip.
Maintenance Tips:
- Check tire pressure every two weeks, especially in summer.
- Follow the manufacturer’s recommended pressure.
- Rotate tires every 10,000 km for even wear.
- Replace tires every 3 years, regardless of tread depth.
Driving with well-maintained tires improves safety, reduces fuel consumption, and enhances ride comfort—vital for long UAE commutes.
