Driving in the rain brings out a set of issues. We have slippery roads and reduced visibility which turn what is usually routine into a dangerous affair for the expert driver as well. Also what may cause your car’s performance to go down in rain is the state of your tires. At Sand Dance Tyres we put a great focus on the research and distribution of wet braking tires that we designed to perform in the harshest rain we see in the UAE and beyond.
The Importance of Wet Braking Tyres
Rain greatly decreases a tyre’s performance at gripping the road. As water gets in between the tyre and road surface it forms a thin layer which in turn causes the vehicle to lose traction. This is what we call aquaplaning which in turn is a main cause of accidents on wet roads. That is why wet weather tyres are designed differently they have special tread patterns and materials which better direct water out from under the tyre and which in turn maintain better contact with the road.
Wet grip is what a tire does best in inclement weather. It is the tire’s performance in rain which in turn affects stop distance and handling in curves which are at the core of emergency situations. At Sand Dance Tyres we see to it that safety includes not only performance in perfect weather but also what happens when the weather turns bad.
How Sand Dance Tyres Handle Wet Conditions
Our tyre design includes special high performance tread patterns which quickly push water away from tyre contact point. This in turn reduces the risk of aquaplaning and also maintains rubber to road contact. Also we use silica in our wet braking tyre rubber mix which stays flexible at lower temps and thus improves grip and braking in wet weather.
Our tires are a result of testing which we did for better performance in wet conditions, which in return gives our customers better control and peace of mind. In the city of Dubai’s traffic or on the highway during an unexpected rain, Sand Dance Tyres’ performance is what you can count on.
Why Tyres for Rain Need Specialized Design
Not all tires are the same when it comes to wet performance. In the dry tires which perform very well may not at all live up to the same safety standards on wet roads. That is the role of rain tires which we have designed with a different tread depth, groove structure and compound.
At Sand Dance Tyres we put out what we think are the best options for water performance and hydroplaning. We have designed our tires’ grooves to push water away from the point of contact and the block patterns we use improve road hold in wet conditions. Also we look at the climate we have in the UAE which may see little rain but when it does it is heavy and we make sure that which tires we put forward for customers will do the job of getting them through that which may come up suddenly without trade off in safety.
Wet Braking Tyres and UAE Roads
The UAE may be known for its arid climate but we see that which of rain comes in bursts. We have sudden and heavy rain which at times turns roads into dangerous conditions. Also because road surfaces are made up of fine dust and oil, when rain does come it mixes with these to create an even which is even more slippery. In which case wet braking tires become not only a help but a necessity.
Our tires are chosen by their wet performance and how they do in emergency breaks. We present to our customers choices which are made for city and open highway use which also perform in all weather conditions. At Sand Dance Tyres we don’t just wait until the rainy season comes to alert our customers we put forward the idea of year round use of all weather tires for best safety.

For the driver that wants it all in their tire performance, comfort and safety these tires do it all.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the wet tire?
Wet weather tires are made for high performance and short stop times in wet road conditions. They have unique tread patterns and rubber formulations which better dispel water and improve grip.
Q2: How to tell if my tires are right for the rain?
Check out your tyre’s label for the wet grip rating or speak to experts at Sand Dance Tyres. Tyres which have deeper tread grooves and high in silica content are usually better for wet performance.
Q3: Can your tires cause issues in the rain?
Yes. Regular and worn out tyres do not provide sufficient grip on wet roads which in turn increases the risk of skidding or aquaplaning. For rain use tires that are in good condition for better safety in wet weather.
Q4: How frequently do I check my tyres in the rain?
You must check your tires monthly or before a long trip in which case it is especially in rainy months. Check for wear of the tread, cracks, or uneven wear.
Q5: If in a situation of your car aquaplaning what do I do?
If at all your vehicle experiences aquaplaning stay cool. Do not brake or accelerate. Gradually reduce speed and steer straight till you get control back. Right tires may prevent this issue in the first place.
