This study examines the effects of Saudi Arabia’s extreme aggressive weather on tire degradation and lifespan, in comparison with SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization). Through accelerated aging tests (simulating 50°C+ conditions) and mechanical analysis (tensile strength, tread wear), heat-induced material breakdown is quantified. Results show a 20% faster wear rate versus moderate climates, with significant pressure fluctuations (+15%) increasing blowout risks. The findings highlight gaps in current SASO standards for heat resilience and propose revised testing protocols to enhance safety. This work aids manufacturers in optimizing tires for Gulf conditions while ensuring regulatory alignment.

• Understand the direct relationship between tire speed and ambient temperature — higher speeds significantly increase heat generation, affecting tire safety and performance.
• Recognize the impact of thermal stress on tire wear, deformation, and potential blowouts, emphasizing the importance of monitoring tire temperature during high-speed conditions.
• Learn about SASO’s testing methods and the role of controlled indoor experiments in evaluating tire thermal behavior under Gulf Standard GSO 53/2007.
• Explore strategies to enhance tire design, such as using heat-resistant materials and innovative cooling technologies to improve durability and performance in hot climates.
