Question 6

How do OE tyres differentiate from replacement tyres?

Accepted Answer

Original Equipment (OE) tyres are made especially for a specific vehicle model by the tire manufacturer working with the automaker. Aftermarket tyres, also known as replacement tyres, are made to fit a larger variety of automobiles rather than being exclusive to one particular model.   You can also refer to your owner's manual, as it may have additional suggestions for new tyres. Moreover, you should also think about other options that are more suited to your preferences and driving style.

Question 7

New or used- Which tyres are the best?

Accepted Answer

Purchasing old tyres comes with several challenges, especially if bought from a local store or manufacturer. It can be challenging to determine whether the tyres have been overloaded, underinflated, or have other hidden internal issues. As a result, they could also cause an unanticipated failure since you don't know their history. Additionally, worn tyres may need to be replaced much sooner than fresh tyres due to uneven wear, which can result in noise, vibration, and other issues. Therefore, the best course of action is to replace the tyres with new ones. However, make sure that it matches the manufacturer's suggested category, size, load capacity, and speed rating.

Question 8

How to find the best replacement tyres?

Accepted Answer

When checking your tyres, check for tread depths, pressures in line with the vehicle’s manufacturer’s settings, a thorough visual inspection for any lumps or bulges, objects embedded in the tread, etc.

Question 14

What are the reasons behind the irregular wear of my tyre?

Accepted Answer

Many things lead to irregular wear of the tyre. This includes tyre over- or under-inflation, aggressive driving, misaligned steering, worn suspension components, and frequent scuffing of tires against curbs are a few of the causes. Therefore, tyres should be routinely inspected for wear and replaced as necessary.

Question 15

Can I replace all four tyres at once?

Accepted Answer

The answer is straightforward: yes. Since your tyres are essential to the handling and performance of your car, it is advised that you replace all four at once. However, it is crucial to make sure that the tyres match as closely as possible. Your car may be difficult to control if one end of it cannot react as fast as the other due to mismatched tyres. An even surface is essential because your tyres are what keep your car linked to the road. Also, make sure to choose tyres that are comparable to the ones that are already on your car if you will be replacing fewer than four tyres.

Question 16

What is an unconditional warranty for tyres?

Accepted Answer

Unconditional warranty is just the exact opposite of what a typical tyre warranty covers. All unserviceable, non-manufacturing flaws and problems, including rim digging, irreparable cuts, fitting damage, etc., are covered by an unconditional warranty.

Question 19

What is the most common mistake to avoid when placing an order?

Accepted Answer

Ordering the incorrect size is one of the most common mistakes to avoid when placing an order. It is always preferable to measure the tire's sidewall. Before placing your order, it's crucial to determine the size of the tyre you require on your own. Since not all car models and makes have the same tyre size, we strongly advise you to inspect the vehicle. The front and rear tires on certain autos are of different sizes. For personalized assistance, you can contact our customer support team at Dial-a-Tire.

Question 20

Can I cancel my order?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel your order, but only under certain conditions. Before the scheduled installation date, the customer has the right to cancel the order, return the goods, and receive a complete refund (or full credit if the goods have not been paid for).

Question 21

What are the charges for cancellation?

Question 23

What date of production is appropriate for the tyres I purchase?

Accepted Answer

Purchasing tyres that were produced a year or two ago is not an issue as long as they come from a reliable supplier. The ageing process of a tyre does not begin on the date of manufacture (DOT). It begins once the tyre is inflated and installed on the vehicle. This is because tyres experience the greatest amount of stress during use rather than when kept in storage. You can purchase a tyre with any manufacturing date as long as you can use it within five years of the date of manufacture.

Question 24

What tyre temperature grade is suitable for driving in the GCC?

Accepted Answer

When driving in countries, it is essential to choose the appropriate tyre temperature grade. A temperature grade indicates the tyre's resistance to heat. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have exceptionally high temperatures, especially in the summer. Extended exposure to extreme temperatures, such as long-distance travel in the scorching Middle East, can damage tyres.   Additionally, it may also raise the risk of blowout or tread separation. A tyre's resistance to heat is rated as "A," "B," or "C," going from highest to lowest. A vehicle tyre sold in the Gulf region must have a temperature grade of "A" or "B," per the Gulf Standards Organisation and EMSA.

Question 25

What are the benefits of ordering tyres online?

Accepted Answer

Some of the top benefits of ordering tyres online are that you get to choose from a wider selection of tyres, purchase from the comfort of your home, have free shipping and delivery options, have easy returns, and more.

Question 26

How to order tyres online?

Accepted Answer

Firstly, visit Dial-a-Tire and search for the tyre you are looking for in the search bar. You can also search for tyres by type and brands. Once you find or select the tyre, you may now have to fill in the requirements. This includes your location, contact details, name, region, Emirate, etc. Also, choose your payment method and proceed to place an order. For any issue, you can contact the support team of Dial-a-Tire.

Question 27

How does underinflation affect the tyres?

Accepted Answer

An excessively low tyre pressure means that more of your tyre is in touch with the road. Underinflation increases friction and causes the tyre to heat up. This can therefore cause your tyres&rsquo; tread to wear down too quickly, resulting in tread separation and even blowouts. Additionally, it will affect and lengthen your stopping distance.   All of this might result in mishaps and endanger both you and other people. Another effect of underinflated tyres is on the fuel. Therefore, it is important to make sure your tyre pressure is appropriate as it will make your car more effective at moving.

Question 28

What happens to tyre pressure when the outside temperature changes?

Accepted Answer

The tyre pressure is affected by how the outside temperature changes. When heated, gas expands, and when cooled, it contracts. For instance, the daily temperature in Arabia fluctuates both seasonally and between day and night. The inflation pressure within the tyre would rise by around 1 psi for every 5 degrees   Celsius as the temperature rose.  When the outside temperature drops, the same thing happens. The morning and daytime temperatures in the majority of Arabia can fluctuate by 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, or roughly 3 to 4 psi a day. Checking your tyre pressure is especially crucial during the summer months as the days grow longer and hotter.   Periodically checking tyre pressure is necessary to ensure that it hasn't changed due to time, temperature changes, or a small puncture in the tread. The recommended cold tyre inflation pressure for your car is the one listed in the owner's manual or tyre information placard. This implies that it should be inspected first thing in the morning before you go more than a few miles. You must also check before it is impacted by the sun's radiant heat or rising ambient temperatures.

Question 29

How does overinflation affect the tyres?

Accepted Answer

Just like under inflation, over inflation also has its impact on the tyres. An overinflated tyre may become overly hard and exert additional strain on the side walls of the tyre. This, as a result, may lessen your tyres’ traction, which may have an impact on the car's performance, handling, and traction. Your ride may become more bouncy as a result, which may lead to uneven tread wear. Additionally, it also shortens the life of your tyre.

Question 30

Is it a wise decision to mix tyres?

Accepted Answer

Unless specifically approved by the vehicle or tyre manufacturer, mixing tyres is not advised. Combining tyres of different sizes, treads, etc., or summer/all-season tyres with winter tyres is not recommended as it may impair control, stability, and balance. Instead, it is recommended to rotate tyres frequently to ensure that the tread wears out uniformly and prevent the need to mix tyres. Unless there is an emergency, it is not advised to select other tyres entirely.   Drivers should be warned that doing so might lead to risky driving circumstances, especially in bad weather and/or when being pushed forcefully. If neglected, this will impair the vehicle's balance, stability, and handling. Using a different tyre on one side of an axle or one with increased tread wear will lead to overheating and eventual unjustified failure. Even the slightest variation in diameter will strain the driveline.

Question 31

Should I change only the front or only the rear tyres?

Accepted Answer

As long as the tyres are on the same axle, you can replace two tyres at once. You can change in pairs because the front and rear tyres can and frequently wear differently based on your driving style, front/rear wheel drive, and other factors. However, you should install the new tyres at the back and relocate the old ones to the front.    Remember to always place new tyres in the back. Since vehicle stability is provided by the rear tyres, stability is lost if the tyres have insufficient wear. The vehicle may spin out if the back tyres hydroplane, even though the front tyres will spread water and keep traction.

Question 32

Should I be worried about tyre inflation pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you should be concerned about tyre inflation pressure, since it is a huge issue. It is one of the most crucial pieces of safety equipment in your car. Only when your tyres have the proper amount of inflation pressure will all the standards and requirements for which they are certified apply. It impacts comfort, tyre life, fuel economy, and above all, the safety of the car's occupants.

Question 33

How to find the correct size for my tyre?

Accepted Answer

To find the correct tyre size, check the tyre sidewall, refer to the owner's manual, etc. The width of the tyre is indicated by the first three-digit number before the forward slash. Besides, the height of the tyre is shown by the two-digit number that follows the forward slash. Additionally, the numbers that follow "R" indicate the size of the rim, while the number that follows "V" indicates the speed.

Question 34

When should I check my tyre pressure?

Accepted Answer

Checking your tyre pressure is advised at least once a month, and more often before lengthy journeys.  The best time to check is when the tyres are cold, which indicates that the car hasn't been driven very much. However, you can just tell whether a tyre has adequate pressure just by looking at it.   Instead, you should constantly check the pressure in all four or more tyres. You also need to periodically check the spare wheel's pressure. Always utilize trustworthy equipment at a reputable petrol station or a reputable tyre repair shop. This won't take much time; however, if you lack knowledge, tools, or time, you can always reach out to us at Dial-a-Tire.

Question 35

How to know my vehicle's tyre pressure?

Accepted Answer

To know your vehicle's tyre pressure, find the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) for your car in the owner's manual. You can also look at a sticker inside the driver's side doorjamb or on the fuel door to find out how much pressure your tyres need.   Next, measure each tyre's pressure with a tyre pressure gauge and compare it to the suggested level.  Inflate the tyre to the prescribed level if the pressure is too low, and release air until it matches if it is too high. For further assistance, you can seek advice or help from the experts at Dial-a-Tire. We are always eager to help you and to ensure you have a seamless driving experience.

Question 36

When should I replace or get new tyres?

Accepted Answer

There is always a need for new tyres, regardless of how frequently you drive. Several criteria determine when these tyres are required. Age is one of the primary causes of the need for new tyres, along with wear and tear. Even with perfect storage conditions and minimal use, new tyres are eventually still required.   According to UAE law, tyres must be replaced five years after they are manufactured. This implies, even if they don't seem to have worn down to the tread wear indicator and seem to be in serviceable shape.   After a few years, new tyres are still required to maintain road safety, even if they are used infrequently.  The DOT number on the side of the outer wall might provide you with an estimate of how old your tyres are.

Question 37

What do you mean by Original Equipment tyres?

Accepted Answer

Original Equipment, also known as OE, are tyres that were installed in your car when it was brand-new from the factory. For a given vehicle, there are typically several original equipment tyres. For instance, Michelin Latitude Tour HP, Bridgestone Dueller H/T D684 II, and Dunlop Grandtrek AT23 are just a few of the options available for a 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser. Depending on whether your Land Cruiser is an EXR, GX, GXR, VX, or VXR, there may also be more variations within.

Question 38

How to know if I need new tyres?

Accepted Answer

How long a tyre will last depends on several factors. This includes the quality of installation, design, driving habits, environment, road conditions, and the amount of care given to the tyre. For instance, as you watch the thread, check if your tyre exhibits limited tread depth, cracks, or is worn out. If yes, it's time to replace them. Also, do a routine inspection every three years. Your tyres should be professionally tested at least once every two months after three years of use. With proper care, you can extend the lifespan of your tyres. For this, you should keep the proper air pressure, rotate your tyres frequently, maintain your car, etc.

Question 39

How to purchase the right tyre set?

For a detailed guide, you can reach out to our customer support team at Dial-a-Tire, as we are always eager to assist you at any time.

Question 40

Shall I purchase the same OE tyres again for new tyres?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to buy the same OE tyres again if you need new tyres. Besides, you might want to repurchase them if you're pleased with how they operate. Original equipment manufacturer (OE) tyres are frequently designed to maximise a certain aspect of your car's performance. However, there are more options besides OE tyres with almost equal specs and usually at a lower cost. If you are tight on budget, you can choose something else as the OEM tyres that are offered in the ME are occasionally expensive than other tyres with similar brands and specs.

Question 41

What are the reasons to choose replacement tyres?

Accepted Answer

The tread life of original equipment tyres is short. Less friction in the tyres and better traction on damp and off-road surfaces are made possible by treads. The issue with original equipment tyres arises when the treads begin to deteriorate more quickly than new tyres. When it's time to replace your tyres, choose a different set of tyres if you want to enjoy your car's improved performance. Improvements to tyres include less rolling resistance, increased traction, extended tread life, and a decrease in noise levels during driving.

Question 42

Is wheel alignment important?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining correct wheel alignment is crucial to preventing several issues. This includes the suspension, steering, brakes, and uneven tyre wear. Wheel alignment enhances the overall handling performance of the vehicle, prolongs tyre life, and improves driving stability.

Question 43

Why are commercial tyres wider?

Accepted Answer

Commercial tyres are wider because they weigh a lot. The pressure that the heavy weight applies to each tire decreases with increasing area. This facilitates smoother vehicle movement.

Question 44

How long do commercial tyres last?

Accepted Answer

Commercial tyres last more than 10 years or typically last between 25,000 and 50,000 miles. With proper care, their lifespan can be extended by up to 50%. However, the lifespan largely depends on several factors. This includes the tire's quality, your driving habits, the amount of distance you've driven, and whether or not they've been properly maintained.

Question 45
