Tyre Prices in the UAE (2026): What You Should Expect to Pay

Indicative tyre prices by rim size

The table below shows typical fitted price ranges per tyre in the UAE, grouped by rim size and brand tier. These are indicative market ranges, not live stock prices or offers. They are a starting point for budgeting; the exact price for your car is confirmed when you request a quote at the tyre shop.

Value tier means brands such as Zeetex, Roadstone and Nexen. Mid-range means brands such as Hankook, Kumho, Yokohama and Dunlop. Premium means brands such as Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Continental. Each brand has lines above and below its usual tier, so a specific model can fall outside these ranges.

Working out the cost of a full set

Multiply the per-tyre figure by the number of tyres you need. For example, four mid-range tyres for a 17-inch saloon at AED 360–560 each comes to roughly AED 1,440–2,240. Four premium tyres for a 20-inch SUV at AED 900–1,600 each comes to roughly AED 3,600–6,400.

Replacing a pair is cheaper today but can cost more over time if the other two wear out soon after. Tyres should always match across an axle. Some all-wheel-drive cars need all four tyres replaced together; check the handbook before buying only two.

Size, load index and speed rating

Rim size is the biggest single factor in price, but width and profile matter too. A 285/60R18 for a Land Cruiser costs more than a 235/60R18 for a RAV4 even though both fit 18-inch rims, because the tyre is larger and built to carry more weight.

The load index and speed symbol after the size also affect price. A higher speed rating usually means a more advanced construction and compound. XL (extra load) tyres have a reinforced structure for heavier vehicles and often cost a little more. You must fit tyres that meet or exceed the ratings approved for your car, so a cheaper tyre with lower ratings is not a valid saving. Our guide on how to read your tyre size shows where to find each marking.

Run-flat, OE-marked and EV tyres

Run-flat tyres have reinforced sidewalls so the car can keep moving for a limited distance after a puncture. They are standard on many BMW and MINI models and some other premium cars, and they usually cost more than a conventional tyre of the same size. Read run-flat tyres explained before deciding whether to stay with them.

Some car makers specify tyres with an original-equipment marking, such as a star for BMW or MO for Mercedes-Benz. These are developed with the car maker and are sometimes priced above the standard version. Tyres designed for electric cars can also cost more because of their load and noise requirements. Ask for the marked version when your car came with one, and ask the advisor whether the unmarked equivalent is suitable.

Fitting, balancing, disposal and call-out

Compare quotes on the full fitted price, not the tyre price alone. The ranges above include fitting and balancing. Check how each quote treats the following items:

• Fitting and wheel balancing: normally part of a fitted price, but confirm it.
• Valves: new rubber valves are cheap and usually recommended with new tyres; TPMS sensors may need a service kit or replacement.
• Disposal of the old tyres: some quotes include it, some charge for it.
• Wheel alignment: a separate service, recommended if the old tyres wore unevenly.
• Mobile call-out: fitting at your home or office can carry a charge depending on location and quantity.
• VAT: check whether the quote includes it.

Brand tier and tyre model

Within a single size, the gap between the cheapest and most expensive tyre can be large. Part of that is brand, but the model matters too. A premium brand's eco or comfort tyre can cost less than a mid-range brand's sports tyre in the same size.

If price is the main concern, see cheap tyres in Dubai for value options and how to check them. If you want the best wet braking and refinement, see premium tyres. For a balanced view of what you get for the extra money, read premium vs budget tyres in the UAE. Mid-range brands such as Hankook are a common compromise.

Why two quotes for the same size can differ

When two suppliers quote very different prices for the same size, the cause is usually one of a few things. The tyres may be different models from the same brand, one may be an older production date, one may be a lower load or speed rating, or one quote may leave out balancing, valves or disposal. Occasionally a low price reflects a parallel-imported tyre made for another market.

None of these is automatically wrong, but you should know which one applies. Ask each supplier for the full model name, the complete marking including load index and speed symbol, and the DOT week and year. Once those match, the remaining difference is the real price difference. Promotions such as multi-buy offers can be worthwhile, but compare the total for four fitted tyres rather than the headline discount.

How to get an accurate quote

Send a clear photo of the tyre sidewall showing the full size and ratings, tell the advisor how many tyres you need, and say whether you want fitting at home, at the office or at a partner centre. If the car has run-flat tyres, TPMS, or non-standard wheels, mention it at the start.
