Based on the discussion at http://old.nabble.com/UI-Tabs:-How-to-hide-show-a-Tab-td19569388s27240.html the following has worked for me -

.ui-tabs .ui-state-disabled { 
    display: none; /* disabled tabs don't show up */ 
} 

and then using the tabs disabled options in either of the following forms -

$( ".selector" ).tabs({ disabled: [1, 2] }); //when initializing the tabs
$( ".selector" ).tabs( "option", "disabled", [1, 2] ); // or setting after init
