Common questions
What does 255/60R17 mean?
255 is the tyre width in millimetres. 60 is the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, which works out at about 153mm. R means radial construction, and 17 is the wheel diameter in inches.
How much do 255/60R17 tyres cost in Dubai?
Price depends on brand and pattern rather than size alone — a premium touring tyre and a budget one in 255/60R17 can differ by several hundred dirhams. Send us the size on WhatsApp and we will quote you the actual options we can supply, with the manufacture date of each.
Can I fit a different size instead of 255/60R17?
Only within about 3% of the original overall diameter, which for 255/60R17 is roughly 738mm. Beyond that your speedometer reads incorrectly, driver aids reference the wrong rolling radius, and the tyre may foul the arch. Use our size comparison calculator to check any alternative before committing.
How old should a new 255/60R17 tyre be?
As fresh as possible. UAE law voids any tyre five years from its manufacture date regardless of tread, so a tyre that has sat in a warehouse for three years has already used most of its legal life. Ask to see the four-digit DOT date on the sidewall before it is fitted.
Not sure this is your size?
Your size is moulded into the tyre sidewall and printed on a sticker inside the driver’s door. If the two disagree, a previous owner has changed the wheels — the door sticker is what the manufacturer intended.
