Posted: September 09, 2025Categories: GeneralWhen it comes to road safety, most drivers think about seatbelts, airbags, and brakes. While these are all critical, there’s one component that often gets overlooked which is tyres. They are the only part of your vehicle that actually touches the road, making them one of the most important factors in how safely your car performs. Let’s take a closer look at why tyres are so crucial to road safety and how taking care of them can protect you and your passengers. Tyres: the foundation of vehicle safety Your tyres are responsible for translating every steering input, brake pressure, and acceleration into real movement on the road. No matter how advanced your car’s safety features are, they are only as effective as the condition of your tyres. Poor tyre maintenance can lead to dangerous situations like skidding, loss of control or even blowouts all of which increase the risk of accidents. -
Posted: September 09, 2025Categories: GeneralWhen it comes to vehicle safety and performance, tyres play one of the most crucial roles. While most of us are used to filling our tyres with regular air, nitrogen tyre filling has become increasingly popular among drivers. But what exactly is nitrogen filling, and why are more people choosing it? Let’s break it down. What is nitrogen tyre filling? Nitrogen tyre filling is the process of inflating tyres with pure nitrogen gas instead of regular compressed air. Since normal air already contains about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and small amounts of water vapour and other gases, filling with nearly pure nitrogen simply removes the extra oxygen and moisture. This small change makes a big difference in tyre performance and longevity. Safety benefits of nitrogen filling -
Posted: September 09, 2025Categories: GeneralHave you ever felt a strange vibration in your steering wheel or noticed uneven tyre wear? These are often signs that your wheels are out of balance. While it may seem like a minor issue, wheel balancing is a crucial part of vehicle maintenance that directly affects your safety, comfort, and even fuel efficiency. But what exactly is wheel balancing, and why does it matter so much? Let’s explore the science behind it. What is wheel balancing? Every tyre and wheel assembly has tiny imperfections in weight distribution. Even a few grams of imbalance can cause the wheel to rotate unevenly at high speeds. Wheel balancing is the process of correcting this imbalance by attaching small weights to the rim, ensuring the wheel rotates smoothly around its axis. The goal is simple to make sure the weight is evenly distributed s -
Posted: April 14, 2022Categories: GeneralRFID is Radio Frequency identification. It helps the buyer to identify the product information by exchanging the data with the reader using RF signals.
In UAE, ESMA (The Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology) has reaffirmed that each tyre for sale/Display in UAE must have RFID tags. These tags provided by ESMA to all legitimate importers of tyres will have full specifications like brand name, country of origin, tyre type, temperature rating, traction rating and treadwear rating. The tag incorporates an RFID chip inlay containing a code that is stored in ESMA database and are linked to the tyre details that are printed in the tag itself.
It helps the customer to choose genuine products provided with the legitimate information by scanning the bar code or either the QR code labelled on the RFID.

Posted: February 23, 2022Categories: GeneralThere are three types of puncture repair commonly used around the globe for tubeless tyres.
- Internal repair using a patch
- Internal repair using Minicombi (plug)
- External repair using a tyre string
Internal repair using a patch
Once the puncture hole is identified, the same is covered by an adhesive patch from inside.
Hence these patches are adhesive, certain factors like heat & moisture reduces its life and are less reliable when compared to Minicombi repairs
Internal repair using Minicombi (plug)
This method is done by inserting and sealing the puncture hole using a Minicombi

Posted: February 16, 2022Categories: GeneralFlat spots are mostly caused by long term storage of the vehicle. If a car stands for a long time, the contact patch of the tyre can flatten slightly where it is in contact with the ground area.
There are two types of flat spots
Temporary Flat spots occurs if the vehicle has been parked for few days or weeks similar to situations like you have been away for a vacation or parked the vehicle at airport. And you may notice some slight vibrations during the initial riding hours of your journey. These kind of flat spots will disappear when the tyres have reached their operational temperature and regained their original shape.
Semi-Permanent flat spots occurs when the vehicle is stored for a longer duration
