All Brands
Did you know that thousands of fake tyres make their way into Saudi Arabia every year—putting drivers’ lives at risk? These counterfeit tyres not only compromise road safety but also deliver poor performance, tread wear, and grip. They may come cheap, but the true cost could be much higher.
At Tirefaster, our mission is to protect consumers by offering only 100% original and certified tyres from the most trusted global brands. In this article, we’ll show you how to detect counterfeit tyres and explain why purchasing from authorized dealers like Tirefaster is your safest option.
How to Detect Fake Tyres
Counterfeit tyre manufacturers are becoming increasingly sophisticated. However, with a little knowledge, you can spot the difference between genuine and fake. Here’s what to look out for:
1. Tyre Markings and Codes
Genuine tyres follow international standards with clear, deep, and evenly spaced markings on the sidewall. Look for:
-
Tyre size, speed rating, and load index
-
DOT code (U.S. Department of Transportation)
-
“E” approval mark (European standard)
Counterfeit tyres may have smudged, shallow, or incorrectly formatted markings—or be missing these identifiers entirely.
2. Manufacturing Date and Brand Logo
Every authentic tyre displays a four-digit production code (e.g., 1124 means 11th week of 2024). Fakes might have missing, misaligned, or tampered codes.
Also check the brand logo—real ones are sharp and accurate. Counterfeits often have spelling errors or copied logos like “Michelan” instead of “Michelin.”
3. Tread Pattern and Build Quality
Genuine tyres are engineered for safety, durability, and performance. Fakes may have:
-
Irregular tread spacing
-
Inconsistent design
-
No tread wear indicators
Compare the tread pattern with official images on the brand’s website to spot the difference.
4. Certificate of Authenticity & Warranty
Always ask for a Certificate of Authenticity and a manufacturer-backed warranty. Fake tyre dealers often avoid this step or provide unofficial paperwork.
If there’s no warranty—or if it doesn’t match what the manufacturer offers—consider it a red flag.
5. Buy Only from Authorized Dealers
The most effective way to avoid counterfeit tyres is to buy only from trusted and authorized dealers. These dealers:
-
Source tyres directly from manufacturers
-
Maintain original documentation and proper stock handling
-
Offer installation services that meet quality standards
Avoid unknown websites or back-alley tyre shops promising “premium tyres” at unbelievable discounts.
6. If the Price Seems Too Good to Be True—It Probably Is
Cheap, fake tyres may look convincing at first—but they’re made from inferior materials and degrade quickly. Don’t risk your safety for a discount. Instead, check for seasonal deals and promos from genuine sellers like Tirefaster, where all tyres are 100% original and come with proper guarantees.
