Buying a new set is an investment in your safety, but it can put pressure on the monthly budget, especially when needing to change 4 tires at once. Drivers in Saudi Arabia resort to installment services for the following reasons:

• Preserving cash liquidity for emergencies and daily expenses.
• Obtaining genuine, high-quality products instead of resorting to cheap and unsafe alternatives.
• Avoiding postponing necessary maintenance that could lead to bigger breakdowns or accidents, God forbid.
• Taking advantage of seasonal Kafarat Plus offers that become more accessible when the cost is distributed.

Installments represent a practical solution that ensures you drive safely without negatively impacting your monthly cash flow.

This variety means you can choose the method that suits your financial situation, whether you prefer instant payment to avoid future commitments, or installments to ease the impact on monthly liquidity.

3. Tire Installments via Tabby

Tabby is a Saudi company licensed by the Saudi Central Bank, and is one of the most widespread "Buy Now, Pay Later" solutions in the Kingdom's online stores. When choosing Tabby as a payment method:

• The order value is divided into equal monthly installments (usually 4 installments).
• The first installment is usually deducted upon completing the order, and the rest is automatically deducted on the specified dates.
• There are no additional interest fees when adhering to the agreed dates.
• Approval is almost instant after entering valid bank card details.

This option is very suitable for those who want to complete the purchase quickly, without paperwork complications, especially for car owners who need a full set.

4. Tire Installments via Tamara

Tamara is also a Saudi company licensed by SAMA, and operates on a similar principle to Tabby with some differences in the number of installments and payment mechanism depending on the order value.

• The amount can be distributed over 3 or 4 installments according to Tamara's policy in effect at the time of the order.
• Tamara sends automatic reminders via SMS or the app before the due date of each installment.
• The service is available for orders in all cities of the Kingdom covered by the platform.
• The user must be registered with correct data matching their national ID.

Many customers specifically prefer Tamara when they want to split the amount over a shorter period with slightly larger installments, while others prefer Tabby for the flexibility in the number of installments.

5. Installments up to 12 Months via Madfu

For those looking for greater flexibility, the platform offers the Madfu option, which allows you to split products over a longer period of up to 12 monthly installments. This option is most suitable for:

• Full set orders for SUVs or trucks, where the total value is higher.
• Those who prefer to reduce the monthly installment value to the maximum extent possible instead of large payments over a short period.
• Owners of luxury tires from global brands, where the total cost is higher and requires a longer period to distribute it comfortably.

As with the other options, the Madfu plan does not include traditional bank interest when adhering to the agreed schedule, but it may include minor administrative fees depending on the chosen installment period.

• Possessing an active bank card (mada, Visa, or Mastercard) in the applicant's own name.

9. Pros and Cons of Buying on Installment

• Get genuine products immediately without waiting to have the full amount available.
• No traditional bank interest when adhering to the schedule.
• Quick procedures and instant approval, often without the need to visit a bank.
• The ability to choose a plan that suits the monthly budget size.

Cons

• Some small orders may not be eligible for the longest installment plans.
• Approval depends on the internal credit assessment of each provider.

10. Factors Affecting the Cost

The final monthly installment depends on several factors, including:

• Tire size: The larger the rim size, the higher the total cost usually is.
• Brand and country of origin: Luxury European or Japanese brands are more expensive than economical options.
• Number of pieces required: Buying a full set usually reduces the average price per piece.
• Number of installments chosen: The longer the installment period, the lower the value of each monthly installment.

11. Common Mistakes When Using Installments

• Choosing the longest installment plan without actual need: Extending the repayment period for a simple order may tie your budget to a longer commitment than necessary.
• Neglecting payment dates: Many users forget the due date of the next installment, exposing them to late fees.
• Buying on installment from several stores at the same time: This may lead to the accumulation of multiple monthly commitments that are difficult to track.
• Overlooking reading the specific conditions of each provider: Each company has a slightly different policy regarding late fees and cancellation options.

12. Expert Tips for Smart and Safe Installments

• Choose the number of installments based on your actual monthly ability, not just based on the longest available period.
• Enable app notifications or SMS from the installment provider to avoid any unintentional delays.
• Compare the cost of individual purchase versus buying as a full set, as full sets in offers often provide better value.
• Follow the offers page periodically, as some installment plans are offered within seasonal offers with additional discounts.

13. Tips to Maintain Lifespan After Installation

After completing the purchase, care remains the most important factor in extending the lifespan and avoiding the need for early replacement:

• Check air pressure weekly, especially in summer when heat expands quickly.
• Check for signs of uneven wear periodically, as it is an early indicator of balance or alignment problems.
• Adhere to the rotation schedule recommended by the manufacturer to ensure even wear.
• Avoid ignoring any unusual vibration while driving, as it may be an early sign of internal damage.
