Run Flat Tyres in the UAE

Run flat tyres have reinforced sidewalls that support the weight of the car even with no air inside. After a puncture you can usually continue for around 80 km at up to 80 km/h, though you should check the figure for your tyre. On a fast road such as Sheikh Zayed Road or Emirates Road, not having to stop on the hard shoulder is a real safety benefit.

Most BMW and MINI models, and many Mercedes Benz cars, are fitted with run flats at the factory and carry no spare wheel. If your car came with them, replace them with run flats again. Each brand uses its own marking, such as RFT, RSC, ROF, ZP, SSR or MOE, and a run flat tyre should only be fitted to a car with a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Run flat tyres cost more than standard tyres of the same size because of the extra material in the sidewall. They are also firmer to ride on, and a run flat that has been driven on without air usually needs to be replaced. Every run flat tyre price in the UAE on GulfTyres includes fitting and wheel balancing at a partner centre.
