GT Radial is widely available in the UAE, including in Sharjah's Industrial Area and Abu Dhabi's Mussafah, and is especially common on taxis, rental cars and company vans. It is a sensible choice when you need four tyres at a lower budget or plan to sell the car within two years. Check the DOT date carefully on bulk stock, and avoid fitting GT Radial passenger tyres to high-powered cars driven hard in summer. Our technicians can fit a set at your home or office, typically within 30–45 minutes in Dubai city areas.
