Tyres

  • Check the sidewall of your current tyres for numbers like 225/45 R17.
  • Use our Tyre Size Guide page for a detailed explanation.
  • Enter your vehicle make, model, and year in our search tool to see compatible sizes.
  • If you are unsure, contact us and we will help you identify the correct fitment.

We stock 50+ premium and budget tyre brands including Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental, Pirelli, Goodyear, Dunlop, Yokohama, Nexen, and many more. You can browse by brand or search by size and vehicle.

Yes. We offer fast delivery and installation in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the rest of the UAE, or you can book a mobile installer who will come to your home, office, or roadside location for a convenient fitting service.

Premium tyres typically offer better wet grip, shorter braking distances, lower road noise, longer tread life, and improved fuel efficiency due to advanced rubber compounds and tread designs. Budget tyres are cost-effective options that still meet safety standards but may not deliver the same performance in extreme conditions. We stock both to suit different needs and budgets.

Tyre lifespan depends on driving habits, climate, road conditions, and maintenance. On average, tyres last 3–5 years or 40,000–80,000 km. We recommend regular rotation, alignment checks, and maintaining proper inflation to maximize longevity.

Tyre warranties are provided by the manufacturer and typically cover defects in materials and workmanship. They do not cover damage from road hazards, punctures, improper inflation, or wear and tear. If you believe you have a warranty claim, contact us and we will guide you through the process with the manufacturer.

Yes, and we recommend it for balanced handling and safety. When you select a set of 4, we automatically apply a 5% discount compared to buying individually.

The production date is a 4-digit DOT code on the tyre sidewall (e.g., 3523 means week 35 of 2023). Tyres degrade over time even when not used. We only sell tyres that are less than 3 years old from production to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Batteries

  • Check your current battery for the model number and specifications.
  • Use our battery search tool by entering your vehicle make and model.
  • Look for the DIN or JIS group size recommended by your manufacturer.
  • When in doubt, contact us with your car details and we will recommend the right fit.
  • DIN (German Industrial Standard) batteries are common in European cars with standardized dimensions and terminal layouts.
  • JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) batteries are typically found in Japanese and Korean vehicles, often with different terminal positions.
  • AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries are advanced sealed batteries designed for start-stop systems and vehicles with high electrical demands. They last longer and recharge faster than conventional batteries.

In the UAE's hot climate, car batteries typically last 2–3 years due to high temperatures accelerating chemical degradation. AGM batteries may last slightly longer. Regular testing and avoiding deep discharges can extend battery life.

Yes. We offer mobile battery replacement where a technician comes to your location, typically within 15–40 minutes in Dubai. We also offer fast delivery to our service partners if you prefer to have it installed at a workshop.

We handle environmentally responsible disposal of old batteries in compliance with UAE environmental regulations. When we replace your battery, we collect the old one and ensure it is recycled properly through licensed recycling facilities.

Battery warranties are provided by the manufacturer (e.g., VARTA, Bosch, Amaron) and typically range from 12 to 36 months depending on the brand and model. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but not damage caused by improper installation, electrical system faults, or physical damage.

While it is possible for experienced DIYers, we strongly recommend professional installation. Modern vehicles have sensitive electronics that can be damaged by incorrect connection. Our mobile installation service is fast, affordable, and ensures your warranty remains valid.
