DUBAI, June 13, 2016

Dubai-based Z Tyre recently collaborated with a top jeweller to develop a special set of Z1 tyres, which have been recognised by Guinness World Records as the ‘World's Most Expensive Set of Car Tyres’.

This unique set of Z Tyres combines 24-karat gold and specially selected diamond stones, and was designed in Dubai and decorated by Italian artisan jewellers in Italy before being returned to Dubai the application of gold leafing by the very same craftsmen who have worked on the new presidential palace in Abu Dhabi, UAE, said a statement from the company.

The special set of four tyres recently sold for $600,000, it said.

The tyres were unveiled for the first time at Reifen Essen 2016 in Germany, last month.

Speaking on the new world record, Zenises’ CEO Harjeev Kandhari, said: "We have always treasured the outstanding skills and dedication involved in developing our Z Tyre range so we thought what better way to celebrate this achievement than with a record-breaking special set of tyres especially commissioned for a unique buyer.”

“We are thankful to the Government of Dubai and HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to have fostered such an environment of creativity in Dubai,” he said.

“This environment has allowed us to dream big and develop such world record breaking ideas. In keeping with the spirit of the Holy Month of Ramadan Z Tyres will donate all profits from the $600,000 sale to the Zenises Foundation which focusses on improving access to education across the world,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
