Falken is distributed in the UAE through established tyre importers and is easy to find in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for popular sizes such as 215/55 R17, 235/45 R18, 265/65 R17 and 275/70 R16. Ask for the DOT code before fitting: stock in the UAE moves at a moderate pace, and you should not accept a tyre made more than about 2 years earlier. For desert use, the Wildpeak A/T3WA is the Falken to choose; the highway-focused Wildpeak H/T02 is quieter but should not be aired below about 20 psi in soft sand. Our technicians can fit Falken tyres at your home or office in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, with fitting from AED 100.
