Firestone is distributed in the UAE alongside Bridgestone, and popular sizes such as 205/55 R16, 215/60 R16, 225/45 R18, 265/65 R17 and 195 R15C for vans are generally available. It is a smart pick for sedan and family-SUV owners who would otherwise buy a value brand: the extra AED 60–120 per tyre usually returns more kilometres and shorter wet braking. Always confirm the DOT date and ask for nitrogen or air at the placard pressure. Mobile fitting is available 24 hours in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
