225/50 R16 Tyres in the UAE

The numbers are simple to read. 225 is the tyre width in millimetres. 50 is the profile, which means the sidewall height is 50 percent of the width, or about 112 mm. R16 means a radial tyre for a 16 inch wheel. Fully inflated, a 225/50 R16 tyre stands roughly 630 mm tall.

In Dubai this size is mostly seen on family saloons, compact crossovers and company cars. Always check the size printed on your tyre sidewall before you order. For daily driving between Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, a quiet touring tyre with strong braking on hot roads is the best match.

How much a 225/50 R16 tyre costs in the UAE comes down to the brand and the pattern. Premium tyres from Michelin, Bridgestone and Continental cost more but usually last longer, while Nexen, Kumho and Zeetex keep the price down.
