Dunlop stock in the UAE is mainly made in Japan, Thailand and Indonesia. Japan-made Grandtrek tyres are prized by Land Cruiser owners and can cost AED 50–100 more per tyre than Thai-made equivalents. Check the DOT code before buying: 1226 means week 12 of 2026. If you drive on sand, air down to 15–18 psi and re-inflate to 32–35 psi before the highway; driving at speed on low pressure is a common cause of sidewall failures here.
