The short answer
Compact cars and hatchbacks usually run 14–16 inch tyres, such as 175/65 R14 or 185/60 R15, and are the cheapest cars to re-tyre — from about AED 150 per tyre fitted. A durable economy or mid-range touring tyre at 32–33 psi is ideal for city driving in Dubai.
Where cheap tyres make sense
Compact cars are light, so they're gentle on tyres. For mostly city driving, an economy tyre like the Kumho Solus, Nexen N'Blue or Triangle ReliaX is a reasonable choice. If you regularly drive between Sharjah and Dubai or to Abu Dhabi, the small premium for a Hankook or Michelin Energy XM2+ pays back in safer wet braking and longer life.
