When should tyres be replaced in UAE heat?
How tread depth, cracking, sidewall damage, punctures, and tyre age affect safety in hot weather.

Heat changes tyre condition
High temperatures can speed up rubber ageing. A tyre may have visible tread but still show cracks, hard rubber, or sidewall weakness. These signs should be checked before long highway driving.
Tread depth is only one part of safety
Low tread reduces grip and water evacuation. Uneven tread wear can also point to alignment, suspension, pressure, or balancing problems that should be corrected with replacement.
Sidewall damage needs urgent attention
Bulges, cuts, exposed cords, and sidewall punctures are not safe repair areas. These tyres should usually be replaced instead of repaired.
