Our verdict for UAE roads
One of the best all-round choices for commuters doing 25,000–35,000 km a year on UAE highways. Take residential speed bumps slowly to protect the sidewall.

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.
