One of the strangest Arabic proverbs that were popular in Arab markets in the past is the example: “All soap among Arabs is soap.” This parable was used as a smart marketing trick at the time. As soon as a customer is confused between two goods, the seller says to him, “All soap among Arabs is soap.” That is, do not be afraid of you. There is no difference between them. Just buy.
In fact, this sentence succeeded in completing the deal, to the extent that it turned into a popular example that is still spoken by some to this day. Even worse, some still use it as a culture. There is no difference between the products they offer. Here is the disaster!
In the past, the products were few and the differences between them were almost rare, so this example was popular in a pleasant way without causing any embarrassment or harm. Today, it is necessary; rather, it is necessary to research in the smallest details to determine what suits our needs.
Turning to the world of truck tires, the values that Derbek has imposed on itself have required diversity in the way truck tires are designed to suit each use. This article is a comprehensive guide in which we review the difference between the types of truck tires Your path Which one fits your needs.
The importance of choosing the right tire for trucks:

Choosing the right tire for trucks is one of the crucial factors that can never be overlooked. It directly affects the performance of the vehicle and the safety of the driver and goods as well. The efficiency and safety of a truck depends largely on the quality of the tires used, whether while driving on highways or over rough terrain, so you should know the difference between tires to determine exactly what you need.
Types and classifications of trail tires:

Before talking about the types and classification of Darbek tires, you should know the main types of tires globally. There is a great difference between family car tires and truck tires. The differences are not limited to measurements or shape, but in manufacturing, the shape of the grooves and the method of formation. Therefore, according to use, tires are classified into the following types:
1. Highway Tires (Highway Tires):
Highway tires are mainly intended for all small means of transportation that travel on paved and healthy roads. The method of manufacturing them takes into account high efficiency on paved roads, optimal fuel consumption while providing the best possible performance.
The types of tires here vary depending on the use. Racing car tires are completely different from family cars. The size and shape of motorcycle tires are absolutely different from car tires, but the principle is the same in the manufacturing method, materials and standards used.
2. Off-Road Tires (Off-Road Tires):
Off-road tires are completely different in form and content from highway tires. The priority here is durability and endurance to difficult conditions and rough terrain, unlike its predecessor in which the focus is on speed and fuel consumption.
3. Hybrid Tires (All-Terrain Tires):
- Mixed tires are the most popular tires in the Saudi and Gulf markets due to the many SUVs that rely on this type of tires. They combine the advantages of highway and off-road tires at the same time. Just as Arab men love highways and paved roads, they also love land and love their trips.
4. Heavy-Duty Tires:
Heavy-duty tires are designed to withstand large weights and high pressures. Each use has a special design method. All details are important in designing this type of tire. Here is the horse link. At Darbek, all these details were studied carefully and carefully. Each type of Darbek tire was designed to fit exactly what it was designed for. We will learn about all types of these tires and differentiate between them according to a number of criteria, but before that, we should talk about the factors that determine which tires suit your vehicle?
How to choose the right tire for your vehicle:

Before talking about the types of Darbek tires and knowing the differences between them, it is necessary to know the factors that determine the shape and quality of heavy transport tires. When you know and analyze these points, you will be able to choose the tires that suit your vehicle perfectly. These points are:
1. The quality and size of the cargo:
When talking about truck tires and heavy transport tires, the quality and size of the load is the most important point in the selection of tires. At this point, tires for heavy trucks are different from tires for large transport buses. Therefore, the quality and size of the load is the first and most important point to determine your need, so determine the quality and size of your cargo and then move on to the second point.
2. Road conditions:
Here we are talking about a wide sea. Are the roads on which the vehicle travels paved or bumpy? Are they fast roads and therefore require fast driving, or does driving mostly on domestic roads do not require speed? Are trips far or near? Therefore, all these questions must be answered in order to move to the third point.
3. Fuel consumption:
In heavy transport, fuel consumption is not a priority in the selection of suitable tires, but it is undoubtedly an important point. For example, in long trips traveling on highways, it is possible to use fuel-saving tires. These tires are designed to reduce the impact of friction and facilitate wheel rotation, but this does not affect the transportation process and the safety of passengers and cargo. Therefore, importance is given to the first and second points at the expense of the issue of time consumption.
Derbek tire standards:

Before we learn about the types of Darbek tires and their classification, one very important point should be noted. Derbek tires are designed according to a number of international standards, so we have been able to achieve the highest degree of quality and efficiency, taking into account the need for differences between tires in terms of shape, design and use. These are:
1. Performance:
In general, highway tires are characterized by stability and comfort while driving at high speeds, while rugged tires are characterized by the ability to maneuver on unpaved roads. We have been able to provide quality models that achieve stability and comfort at speed, and help the driver maneuver on unpaved roads, to achieve the highest possible degree of efficiency in performance.
2. Endurance:
The endurance standard is one of the most difficult, sensitive and accurate manufacturing standards in the world of truck tires and heavy transport tires. We have been able to achieve these standards and introduce tires in the Saudi and Gulf markets that are characterized by their ability to withstand heavy loads and at the same time withstand high pressures in order to develop a possible life span, thus achieving the highest possible degree of durability and endurance.
3. Fuel consumption
Although fuel consumption depends mainly on the truck engine and a number of technical details, tire design also plays an important role in reducing fuel consumption. The tire grooves were built in a creative engineering method that reduces rolling resistance, thus reducing frictional resistance, giving the engine a capacity in shifts and speeds in a way that does not stress the engine and does not cause an increase in fuel consumption.
4. Cost
Here is the biggest challenge in any industry by providing a product that achieves the highest degree of quality and excellence, all at the best possible price. In Darbek, we have been able to create a unique formula that guarantees the best products at the best competitive prices.
Types and classifications of trail tires:
After learning about the types of tires and the difference between them, and after talking about the standards adopted by Darbek Tire Company, you should know the types of Darbek tires and classify them in a way that helps you choose, as you will now be able to know all types and choose the tires you need with ease.

1. Traffic:
These tires are suitable for all types of distances. They are suitable for walking inside cities and in long distances as well. They have been enhanced with new technologies that help to:
- Reducing the generation of heat caused by friction with asphalt.
- Reducing fuel consumption.
- Withstands obstacles and strong shocks.
With these criteria, the ultimate output is smooth driving and a longer tire life. The name “Traffic Wheel” was chosen to express the smoothness of these tires and that they are the best choice for moving between and within cities.
2. The battle of the field:
These tires are also suitable for all types of distances. The Midan tires are designed to suit the Gulf roads that are characterized by high temperatures and large areas. This tire achieves:
- Saving fuel
- High endurance
- Tough and durable on hot roads.
- Very smooth driving in and out of the city
- High quietness and shock absorption in a way that reduces noise caused by friction
With these standards, we find that Dasat Al-Midan tires are the best choice for large and medium passenger transport vehicles due to their smoothness and flexibility in driving and moving.
3. A number of lines:
Dasat lines tires are the ideal partner for drivers on commercial highways and transporting passengers for long distances. They require strength and resilience in the face of the most difficult difficulties such as increasing road temperatures. Therefore, the inner lining of the tire has been reinforced with 4 overlapping layers to provide high flexibility in withstanding shocks. It is characterized by a low level of fuel consumption. Indeed, it has been designed to suit authentic Saudi roads and capabilities.
4. Stability pad:
The most important feature of “Thabit Dash” is its name (Stability). It is intended for medium loads at different distances, as it is suitable inside and outside cities and for long distances as well. The recent driving experience through Darbek's “Stability Drive” has revealed innovative solutions to several problems that truck drivers frequently suffer from. It has a wide tread size that provides smooth driving while enhancing the geometric distribution of capillary grooves that provide a long life for the tire, so it is suitable for medium cargo trucks and provides smooth and comfortable performance, while carrying and durability.
5. Flexible mat:
The most important feature of the “flexible pedal” is its harmony with all paved and rugged roads. The ideal is the “flexible pedal” with the distinctive design of the grooves in the shape of the letter “Z” and the reinforced structure of rubber, which provides high protection for the tire with an appropriate weight distribution in order to provide balance on all types of roads. No rough or flat roads are difficult for the “flexible pedal” designed to travel between cities and different environments. Therefore, we can proudly say that “flexible pedal” makes the road flexible regardless of its shape. It is suitable for all distances and all types and sizes of transportation.
6. Dasat Masar:
“Dasat Masar” tires are the solution for all environments and roads. They are a true embodiment of future tires. They are designed with high-strength hard materials, which gave the tire protection against impacts and sharp obstacles, while reducing the heat caused by tire friction with the road. We proudly used techniques to distribute the heat formed and distribute pressure on the surface of the tread, thus ensuring excellent stability on the specific track, making “Dasat Masar” tires the general and comprehensive choice for all types of vehicles and transportation methods.
7. Dasat Jisr:
In short, “Dasat Jisr” is the difference between you and advanced levels of safety and comfort in trips between cities and smooth driving. The tire is characterized by modern technologies that provide:
- economical fuel consumption.
- Strong performance in wet conditions.
- noise ratio.
Therefore, “Dasat Jusoor” tires are the best choice for those who follow this path in their commercial path.
8. Daasa Tuwaiq:
The most important feature of “Dasat Tuwaiq” is its high durability, whether you are driving on flat roads or over rough terrain. “Dasat Tuwaiq” tires provide safe, smooth and effective driving at the same time due to the effort made in producing them in accordance with the environment of Saudi Arabia and the Arab Gulf countries. They are mostly used for regional and long distances due to their durability and ability to withstand long journey conditions.
9. Dasat Samoud:
“Dasat Samoud” tires are characterized by a wide wear-resistant tread, with fine sub-grooves that give the tire a longer life and enhance extreme traction. Thanks to the four-layer belt, the tire can withstand high weights and maintain its balance on rough roads and changing environments. Therefore, it is the perfect choice for truck drivers looking for durability, safety and comfortable driving.

“Dasat Rawasi” tires are designed specifically for truck drivers who love traveling. These tires are characterized by strong performance and a high ability to withstand difficult conditions. Derbek has been able to provide innovative design and high durability, whether you are driving on mountain or dirt roads or carrying very high weights. These tires are anchored like mountains to stabilize the truck and prevent it from skidding on the road.
Tips for maintaining tires and extending their lifespan:
These tips aim not only to maintain tires and extend their life, but also to maintain the safety of drivers and cargo by avoiding emergency and unexpected accidents, and also not affecting tire wear and weakness on the quality of the ride. Therefore, you should always consider the following points in order to maintain tires and extend their life:

1. Check air pressure regularly:
It is a taboo in the world of heavy transport for a transport truck to go on a mission without checking the air pressure in the tires. The driver should check the tire air pressure regularly and almost daily. Maintaining the appropriate pressure reduces tire wear and enhances the safety of the vehicle and passengers as well.
2. Tire recycling:
Make sure... Wear is inevitable. Any tire in the world will wear out. However, the difference between the types of tires is the time and extent of the impact of this wear. In Darbek, we are well aware of the difference between a tire that wears out for months and a tire that maintains its quality for several years. However, it is preferable to change the positions of tires every time to ensure equal wear, in a way that does not affect the quality of the journey.
3. Check the condition of the tires:
We are not keeping you a secret. We were reluctant to include this advice in this list. The reason is that any truck driver in the world knows very well the need to check the condition of tires permanently and daily. This advice can only be addressed to a novice person, so do not stop at it and go to the next advice.
4. Balance and periodic control:
Heavy trucks of all kinds need periodic inspection and control due to the great pressure they are subjected to during their operation. Therefore, periodic inspection of all parts of the vehicle is a matter of course. After these four tips, we move on to the last advice you really need.
5. Own your driveway tires:
Our values and principles at Darbek Tire Company require us to distinguish and innovate. Quality and durability are the basis of our products. Understanding the nature of vehicles and society is the most important thing that distinguishes us. Therefore, when you choose Darbek tires, you save yourself a lot, quality, durability and quality in standards and standards.
