185/55 R16 Tyres in the UAE

The numbers are simple to read. 185 is the tyre width in millimetres. 55 is the profile, which means the sidewall height is 55 percent of the width, or about 102 mm. R16 means a radial tyre for a 16 inch wheel. Fully inflated, a 185/55 R16 tyre stands roughly 610 mm tall.

In Dubai you will often find 185/55 R16 tyres on the Honda City and Honda Jazz. Vehicle makers fit different sizes across trims and model years, so always check the size printed on your tyre sidewall before you order. For city driving, look for a tyre with good heat resistance and low rolling resistance to keep fuel costs down.

How much a 185/55 R16 tyre costs in the UAE comes down to the brand and the pattern. Premium tyres from Bridgestone, Dunlop and Michelin cost more but usually last longer, while Kumho, Giti and Linglong keep the price down.
