Maxxis is widely stocked across Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, including smaller sizes for older Corollas, Yaris and Sunny models and van sizes for Hiace and Urvan fleets. Because some Maxxis stock is imported in bulk, DOT dates vary more than with fast-moving premium brands, so ask for the four-digit code before you agree to the price. For desert use, choose the Razr AT811 rather than the highway Bravo HP-M3, and air down to 15–18 psi on sand.
