02Touring, eco or all-season?
Touring tyres
Most Avanza owners in the UAE drive mainly in the city and on motorways, where a touring tyre gives the best balance of comfort, low noise and long tread life.
Eco tyres
Low-rolling-resistance tyres can trim fuel use over a year of commuting. Check the wet-grip rating as well: summer rain is rare, but standing water after a storm is when grip matters most.
Heat and long drives
Road surfaces get very hot in summer. Keep the pressures from your door placard (checked when the tyres are cold), and avoid fitting tyres that have been in storage for years.

04Care & replacement
- Check pressures once a month when the tyres are cold, using the figures on the placard in the driver’s door frame, not the maximum printed on the tyre.
- Read the four-digit date code on the sidewall (week and year of manufacture). Heat ages rubber, so have older tyres inspected even if the tread looks fine.
- Rotate the tyres at the interval in your owner’s handbook to even out wear, unless the car has different front and rear sizes.
- Replace tyres in pairs on the same axle at least, and fit the newer pair on the rear for stability.
