On each tire there is a tread wear indicator that is molded in with the tires to show when the tire is worn out to its safety limit. This indicator is molded in throughout the tire evenly. The minimum tread depth should be at least 1.5 mm, otherwise it is advised to change your tires immediately. You should also notice lower performance in your tires, for example when making corners, or accelerating, if you feel your car does not grip the road or perform like it is supposed to, then that is a clear indicator that your tires should be changed.

The tire size is located on the side wall of your tire usually comes in three sets of number for example 205 / 55R / 16. This can also be located inside your glove box door, instruction manual, inside the gas tank hatch/lever or the driver side door jamb.

The load index is located right after the tire size, if you look in the image it is (91v), 91 is the load index and the letter v is the speed rating. A tire with a load index of 91 can carry 615kg of weight.

It depends on a lot of things. Ask our technician for the detailed explanation. Usually, your tires should last for about four to five years depending on driving conditions and how you take care of your tires. Certain tire brands also come with a km warranty, for example 4 years warranty of up to 40,000 km (this also depends on the size of the tire as well as the brand)

The production date of your tyres come in a set of 4 numbers usually right before the three letters (dot) and would be written as (3210). The number 32 is the week that it is produced and 10 means 2010, so in this case it means the 32nd week of 2010.

If you have uneven tire wear it means that you have underinflated tires, over inflated tires or you have bad wheel alignment in which before purchasing new tires you would have to get your wheel alignment done.

Directional tyres will have an arrow on the sidewall indicating in which direction they should be going. These tires should never be crisscrossed.

Nitrogen gas filled tires exhibit less change in pressure due to fluctuations in temperature. For example if you have regular air in your tires and you have 35 psi pressure, when the weather becomes 45 degrees and you are driving on the highway, the pressure in your tires may reach 50 psi thus reducing the lifespan of your tires. With nitrogen your tire pressure will remain constant. Furthermore nitrogen will not migrate through the tire unlike oxygen meaning you will have a more stable and constant tire pressure.

Buying new tires does not mean that you automatically need wheel alignment, however upon inspection our experienced technicians may advise you on what you may need if your previous tires had uneven treadwear. So if you buy new tires or not, a wheel alignment check is always recommended as if you have poor alignment, you may have uneven tread wear, prevention is always better than cure. Please note that your driving conditions can also affect your wheel alignment, so if you are flying over speed bumps, don’t expect to have a proper wheel alignment.

Fluctuations in weather temperature may cause the air pressure in your tires to change, this usually happens if you have regular air in your tires. Other reasons why you maybe losing air pressure are the following: a) If your tires are very old. B) You may have a puncture. C) Your tire valve may be faulty d) Your wheels may have a crack in them causing you tires to lose pressure e) Tires may not have been installed properly f) Your tire may be faulty, i.e., manufacturer defect.

We recommend that you check your tire pressure at least once a month.

When your steering wheel vibrates at a certain speed it can mean that a) Your tires were not balanced properly and need balancing b) You may have hit a pothole and may have damaged one or more of your wheels, or even your tires. C) Your tires may be old and may need changing. We recommended to take your vehicle to a professional and have it checked.

Yes you can, bearing in mind that the reason your vehicle came with run flat tyres is due to the fact that it does not come equipped with a spare tire. So if you do get a puncture be prepared to call a recovery truck or a mobile tire fitting van.

Every vehicle comes with a specific tire pressure, this can usually be found in several places, a) Inside the car user manual b) Driver side door jamb c) Inside the petrol cap/door jamb.

Run flat tires are made to work even after loss of pressure, so as the name says (run flat), unless you have a tire pressure monitoring system, even the most experienced of drivers may not notice the loss of air in the tire.

– Excessive poor car wash
– weather conditions, such as parking under the sun
– harmful uv rays
– bird droppings
– parking under tree, tree sap
– liquid droppings that are acidic usually from underground parkings

– Car polish removes small imperfections on the paint, ie removes a thin layer off of the paint.
– While wax puts on a protective glossy layer on top of the vehicle, so car polishing is not the same as waxing, though the end of the polishing process is to apply wax. Or ceramic paint protection etc…

– Do not wash at the shopping malls.
– Imagine you are taking a shower, what’s the first thing you do? Turn on the water, and not just apply soap and sponge etc.
– Buy the right materials and cloths
– Make sure all cloths are cleaned thoroughly
– After care is very important!

– A decent car polishing job should cost you a minimum of on average 600 AED an d it can go up to 3,000 AED depending on the condition of the paint.
– Proper polishing should take 1 day minimum and could even take up to 1 week.

Paint protection is nothing new, it has been around for more than 3 decades, also known as paint sealant. For the simple reason that it seals your paint protecting it from light scratches, different chemicals and harmful chemicals that can damage your paint or leave blemishes.

1. It keeps your cars paint looking fresh thus the paint doesn’t get oxidesed from the harmful uv rays and other harmful chemicals such as bird droppings and excessive bad carwashes.
2. Retains your car value, some used car showrooms spend 3,000 to 5,000 AED for a car polish and paint protection because they are able to sell the car better when its shining.
3. Protects and reduces blemishes from road debris and bad/excessive car washes.

1. Usually when you purchase a new car that would be the best time.
2. When the condition on your paint is still good, meaning not many dents, scratches etc. as it can still be polished and restored then applied with paint protection. Best advice is to take it to a car care professional.

1. Paint protection film, the high end paint protection films come with self healing technologies which allows it to heal itself after impact. Downside is that 1, it can be pricey, 2 no matter which film you get, due to the technology the color can slightly become yellowish, but very slightly, you will only notice it on white cars. A good example of this is on the Porsche Panamera or Carrera, you will see near the side doors there is a plastic protection piece, this is the paint protection film.
2. Car wax is also a type of paint protection but only if you use the good quality ones, it protects your vehicles paint from the harmful UV rays but does not protect it from scratches and blemishes, downside is that it needs to be applied every 2 to 3 months depending on the weather conditions and how often you wash your car.
3. Ceramic or silica paint protection, this is a layer which is applied to your vehicle and chemically bonds with the paint of your car creating a layer of protection. Benefits of this is that
a. It has long lasting qualities up to 5 years.
B. Protects against UV damage and oxidization, bird droppings
c. Resistant to road debris
d. Ease of cleaning as it has hydroponic qualities
e. Gives your vehicle high gloss

Ceramic paint protection is a special coating that is applied to your paint that chemically bonds creating a layer which protects your paint from debris, dirt, scratches, bird droppings and other chemicals.

1. Doesn’t protect from door dings and wont be bullet proof, yes your car is not a tank.
2. You will still need to wash your car.
3. Poor car wash will deteriorate it in less time

Depending on how many coats and layers is applied, it starts from 6 months up to 7 years.

Yes, ceramic paint protection protects against scratches and stone chips.

Yes, ceramic paint protection gives your paint hydroponic qualities which dramatically reduces if not eliminates water spots.

The ceramic coating is applied after your paint is prepared, i.e., a polishing job may need to be done first to prepare it for the protection coating.

Do not wash your car for atleast 2-3 days as the coating needs to bond with your paint. We recommend that you use high end materials to wash your vehicle such as proper branded car wash soap such as 3m, meguiars etc.. And to use microfiber towels when drying. Or take it to a manual car wash station.
