Choosing the Right Truck Tire in the UAE: A Buyer’s Guide

When it comes to commercial vehicle safety and efficiency, selecting the right truck tire is critical—especially in the demanding road and climate conditions of the UAE. This guide will help fleet managers, drivers, and logistics professionals make informed decisions when choosing truck and bus radial (TBR), off-the-road (OTR), or passenger car radial (PCR) tires.

Understanding Tire Categories

• TBR Tires: Built for durability and long-distance commercial hauling, ideal for logistics and freight transport.
• OTR Tires: Designed for heavy-duty construction, mining, and industrial use. These tires offer maximum load support and resistance to rough terrain.
• PCR Tires: Used for smaller commercial and private vehicles, these prioritize comfort and fuel efficiency.

Key Factors to Consider

• Load Capacity: Match tire specifications with vehicle load requirements.
• Tread Pattern: Deep, aggressive tread is essential for off-road and construction applications.
• Temperature Resistance: Tires must withstand high surface temperatures and UV exposure common in the UAE.
• Fuel Efficiency: Low rolling resistance improves fuel economy over long hauls.
