A car tyre in the UAE costs between about AED 180 and AED 2,200 in 2026, depending mostly on rim size and brand tier: a value 185/65 R15 for a Nissan Sunny starts around AED 180, a mid-range 205/55 R16 for a Corolla is AED 300–420, and a premium 275/40 R22 for a Range Rover reaches AED 1,200–2,200. On top of the tyre you pay for fitting, balancing, valves and disposal; with 800 UAE Tyres fitting starts from AED 100 and those items are quoted together. The bands below are typical retail prices per tyre across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and your exact tyre price is confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch.
Tyre price in the UAE by size and tier
Per-tyre prices in the UAE roughly double from a 15 inch sedan tyre to a 20 inch SUV tyre, and the premium tier costs about twice the value tier in the same size. The bands below cover the sizes we fit most often. Value means Giti, Triangle, Sailun, Linglong, Westlake or Roadstone; mid-range means Hankook, Yokohama, Toyo, Falken, Kumho, Nexen or Dunlop; premium means Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental, Pirelli or Goodyear.
- 185/65 R15 (Sunny, Yaris, Attrage): value AED 180–250, mid-range AED 250–350, premium AED 380–500 per tyre.
- 205/55 R16 (Corolla, Elantra, Civic): value AED 220–300, mid-range AED 300–420, premium AED 450–600 per tyre.

What makes a car tyre price go up or down
Rim diameter is the biggest single driver of car tyre price in the UAE, followed by brand tier. Moving from a 17 to an 18 inch wheel on the same car typically adds AED 50–150 per tyre in the same brand, and the other factors below can shift a quote by a further 10–40%.
- Rim size: each step up in diameter means more rubber, a stiffer construction and fewer competing brands.
- Load index and speed rating: a 102V or 95W tyre costs more than a 91H in a similar size.
- Run-flat construction: reinforced sidewalls on BMW, Mini and some Mercedes models add roughly 20–30%.
- XL (extra load) versions: slightly dearer than standard load in the same size.
- Brand tier: premium is usually 1.7 to 2.2 times the value-tier price.
- DOT year: last year's production is sometimes discounted, which is fine within about 2 years of manufacture.
- Stock of rare sizes: uncommon sizes may need ordering from a distributor and can cost more or take 1–3 days.
The full job cost: tyre price plus fitting
The tyre price is not the final bill: fitting, wheel balancing, a new valve and disposal of the old tyre all apply to every wheel. Some shops list these as separate lines, which is why two quotes with the same tyre price can end up AED 200 apart for a set of four.
With us, fitting starts from AED 100, and fitting, balancing and disposal are quoted together with the tyre so you see one figure before the van leaves. Optional extras such as wheel alignment after new tyres, or a TPMS sensor replacement if one is faulty, are quoted on WhatsApp before dispatch. Payment is by card, cash, Tabby or Tamara.
Example prices for a set of four on common UAE cars
A full set of four tyres in the UAE ranges from about AED 720 for a value set on a Nissan Sunny to more than AED 5,000 for premium tyres on a large luxury SUV. These example totals are tyre prices only, calculated from the bands above; fitting is added from AED 100.
- Nissan Sunny, value set of 185/65 R15: about AED 720–1,000.
- Toyota Corolla, mid-range set of 205/55 R16: about AED 1,200–1,700.
- Toyota Camry, mid-range set of 215/55 R17: about AED 1,400–1,900.
- Toyota Prado, mid-range set of 265/65 R17: about AED 1,900–2,600.
- Nissan Patrol or Land Cruiser, mid-range set on 20 inch wheels: about AED 2,600–3,600.
- BMW 3 Series, premium run-flat set of 225/45 R18: about AED 3,200–4,400.
When paying more for tyres is worth it
Paying for mid-range or premium tyres is worth it when the car is heavy, fast or driven far. A Patrol or LX on long E11 and E10 runs, a daily Dubai to Abu Dhabi commute, or a performance saloon on 18 inch wheels all benefit from stronger casings, better heat resistance and shorter braking distances.
For a small sedan used around town, the value or lower mid-range band usually gives the best cost per kilometre. Whatever the tier, the tyre should be no more than about 2 years old at fitting, and should be replaced at around 5 years in UAE heat even if tread remains above the 1.6 mm legal minimum. Send your size on WhatsApp and we will quote two or three tiers so you can compare the trade-off directly.
