OTR Tires for Hot Climates: 6 Tips for the Middle East
OTR tires for hot climates: 6 tips for buyers in the Middle East, Australia and Africa on compounds, TKPH, pressure and storage in heat.
Choosing OTR tires for hot climates needs extra care. Ground temperatures above 60°C on desert sites push tires close to their limits.

1. Choose Heat-Resistant Compounds
Ask for compounds with a higher TKPH rating for haul trucks.
2. Prefer Radials on Long Hauls
Radials run cooler than bias tires at speed.
3. Check Pressure Cold
Check before the sun heats the tires, never bleed hot tires.
4. Plan Shifts
Heavier work early and late in the day reduces heat stress.
5. Shade Your Stock
Store spare tires under cover.
6. Inspect More Often
Heat speeds up damage from small cuts.
