Michelin stock in the UAE is mostly made in France, Spain, Thailand and China, and all factories follow the same specification. Ask for the DOT code before fitting: a tyre stamped 1525 (week 15 of 2025) is fine, but anything over 2 years old should be refused or discounted. For desert trips, the LTX Trail tolerates airing down to 15–18 psi better than road-focused Primacy tyres; re-inflate to the door-placard pressure, usually 32–35 psi, before returning to tarmac.
