Our verdict for UAE roads
The safest all-round choice for owners who do regular dune trips and long highway runs; it tolerates 60°C+ sand and road surfaces without blistering when pressures are correct.

BFGoodrich is one of the most requested brands for 4x4s in the UAE, and common sizes such as 265/70 R17, 285/70 R17, 275/65 R18 and 285/60 R20 are usually in stock in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Because demand is high, stock turns over quickly and fresh DOT dates are normal; still check the four-digit code before fitting. For dunes, lower to 15–18 psi, never drive fast on low pressure, and re-inflate to about 32–36 psi (or the placard value) before the highway. A set of four KO3s for a Land Cruiser typically costs AED 3,400–4,400 before fitting.
