Have a look at the websites for Roger Kraus Racing and tirerack.com.
Can you freely import tires into Dubai?

Hoosier has the following DOT rated tires:
a) Sports Car D.O.T. – Bias;
b) Sports Car D.O.T. – Radial;
c) Sports Car D.O.T. – Radial Wet; and
d) Pro Street D.O.T. – Radial.

Most of these are 'H' speed rated, but the Sports Car D.O.T. – Radial is 'W' speed rated. With the exception of the Pro Street D.O.T. – Radial they're all metric sizing so you'd need to crawl through specifications and dimensions to see which would be comparable. OTOH, a query to Hoosier's tech folks at info@hoosiertire.com could probably get you a quick answer.

If you're not committed to staying with Hoosier you could contact Tire Rack (https://www.tirerack.com/content/tir...r_support.html) or any other large tire distributor / dealer.

sure we do ,It's much expensive to get the tires from here and some brands & sizes doesn't exist e.g I used to get my M3 tires from the U.S shipped to here , saving almost 50%

I suggest you use Avons...especially for your environment.

Yes, Avons do come highly recommended, albeit at a higher price point than many tires. Probably a good example of 'you get what you pay for'.

There have been lengthy discussions about Avon CR6ZZ tires on CC - a quick search of the site will find them.
