World’s most expensive tires – Video

 

According to Gulf News, Dubai’s Z Tyre partnered with China’s Sentury Tire to produce a one-of-a-kind set of performance tires to “Celebrate and recognize the true worth of its range of high performance tires”. Starting with a set of four Z1 high performance tires, Z Tyre sent the rubber to Italy, where artisan jewelers studded them with specially chosen diamonds. The tires were then sent to Abu Dhabi, where they were covered in gold leaf by the same craftsmen involved in building of the new royal palace there. Once back in Dubai, the tires sold for $600,000 (2.2 million Dubai dirhams).
