Used car tyres in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 150 to AED 1,500 (about $40 to $405). Be careful with this one: selling part-worn tyres is a regulated activity with specific legal requirements, and tyres near the legal minimum are not worth selling at all.
Selling car tyres in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Abu Dhabi
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
What car tyres are worth
What lifts the price
- Manufacture date within the last few years
- Recognised brands with no repairs
What pulls it down
- Tyres more than several years old, whatever the tread
- Previous puncture repairs
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the tread depth and state it in millimetres
- Read the four-digit date code on the sidewall
Getting it ready
- Read the four-digit date code on the sidewall. Tyres age out regardless of tread, and buyers check this.
- Inspect both sidewalls for bulges, cuts, cracking and any previous repair. Any of these means the tyre should be scrapped rather than sold.

Heavy and awkward but not fragile. Collection is normal. If a tyre has less than around 3mm, sidewall damage or is more than a few years old, take it to a tyre centre for recycling rather than listing it.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
