Classic Cars are permitted in UAE but I can't recall what the definition is...??? The OP may have been lucky to get his through the age barrier.
The main change to cope with the heat is a 'tropical' radiator - might be possible to have that retro-fitted? Most American vehicles already have adequate A/Cs for this region.
I believe also in UAE the tyres must be less than 3 years old at the time of testing. By the way, it's the side walls which suffer from the heat. The tread can look fine. Changing mine made a fantastic reduction in tyre noise. The car was less than 3 years old but the tyres were not. Naughty Volvo dealer.
