| ![]() Not the Indian Swift but still interesting to see the Stereo interface! If we're getting the same audio system, it sounds pretty good for OE! |

195/60 R15 is a very easily available profile. Have seen those with Bridgestone & Michelin as well. Guess those are available on Yokohama as well. Not sure about the 185/65 R15 though. |

Also, will these upsizes not hamper with the warranty? Last edited by n_aditya : 11th August 2011 at 14:44. Reason: quote tags fixed | |

For the old Swift, 195/60 R15 was the BEST upgrade though - So that should not hurt as well. | |

I am hoping that 195/60/R15 would fit on the OEM alloys which would have 185/65/R15 rubber. Last edited by fuel_addict : 10th August 2011 at 13:51. | |

![]() Pirelli has got a lot of options in the ZXi/ ZDi stock size of 185/65 R15 like the Cinturato P6. But I wonder whether they are avaiable here as of now. AFAIK, 195/60 R15 is available in the following - Bridgestone Potenza GIII, Potenza RE88I think the low supply due to the ISI mandate is over now. My friend picked up the Yoko S.drive 2 months back and it was available off the shelf at many stores here. Quote:
![]() The 195/60/15 relative to stock tyre 185/65 R15. Difference in circumference: -1.05% ![]() Pictures courtesy The Car Maintenance Bibles Take your pick. I would prefer 195/60/15, if 185/65 R15 is not available with a good brand. No idea on the warranty, though I have seen a lot of Swifts with some insane upsizes. ![]() Last edited by deetjohn : 10th August 2011 at 14:57. Reason: Adding a sentence | ||

| ![]() Today morning I got a call from Regional office Maruti Suzuki, which in our case is Chandigarh. The lady asked my booking status, i.e. weather I have upgraded my booking to the new Swift . And has I continued my booking or not. She did mention my old booked model as VDI-Abs but did'nt bother to ask me which is my current selected model, that weather I have upgraded to ZDI or not. One thing I can make out of this call is that Maruti wants to check the authenticity of the bookings, that weather the customer who had earlier booked the old swift have continued with the new Swift or the dealers are faking the bookings to earn some premium. The only thing she stressed on was that weather I have continued with my booking or not. |

If good options are not available in the stock size, go for 195/60 R15. All leading brands are available at this size. | |

Had almost decided on it when I was looking for tyres for my Wagon R. Finally ended up buying Michellin. But at times do wonder whether I made a right choice. 5 years warranty. 12 mm tread instead of usual 8. Guess I went with the masses | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hi guys, The Swift is an exceedingly important car, perhaps the most important launch of the year thus far. We haven't gotten our hands on the new Swift as yet, but can tell you that we'll be driving it in the coming weeks - and once that happens, you can bet on the most detailed and unbiased review there is on the web (and otherwise). Until then, please be patient. |
