On 14" rims, 185 70 R14 is a good choice. The stock steel wheels can take that size. | |

![]() Also look at 185/65 R15 XM2 if you are keen on Michelin. | |

| ![]() Need urgent advice. I had 195-60 R14 Mich xm1 on stock rims for my swift vdi abs (2006 model).. and have done about 45k kms till now on the same. On Thursday two of the rear wheels got stolen and i have to get new tyres now. Got a quote of 6.3k per tyre for Mich XM2 (195 60 R14) from Tyre professionals in bangalore . Bit tight on the budget so planning to stick to stock rims.. Are there any other options i can consider ? |

![]() Sorry, I can't picture wheels getting stolen from cars that are used daily. Where did it happen? Did you find your car on the jack or what? I can't understand why someone would steal a set of 45k km old tyre which I assume didn't have much life left. Even the steel rims of Swift are easy to obtain from folks who switch to alloys. Does that mean you need to buy new rims too? For the rims, you might be able to get it cheap from someone who is upgrading to alloys since no one buys back the steel rims and it sits in the attic of most owners. | |

| ![]() Yes. They didnt keep stone/brick also. They had just settled the car on the road. Have put spare wheel on one side and jack on the other. I stay in bangalore, near hebbal. tyres were okay , had some life left. Strange thing is they have taken only 2 and am bit worried they might come back for remaining two as well. Now looking out for lock nuts and other options. |

I was quoted 5800/- for XM2 (195 60 R15) by 2 dealers here 2 days ago. So just shop around and you may get a better deal. |

| ![]() Hey friends, I have a 2011 Swift VXi - the older model. Its running on the stock 14 inchers, with 165/80R14 JK Tornados. ![]() I need to upgrade the tyres now, but with a low budget on hand, I can only think of going for size 185/70R14 as they would not need new set of rims. I do not want to go for 195mm as they would be wider for my stock rims. Now, can not I get steel wheels (as they would be cheaper than alloys) in 15inch size, and 100 PCD, 4 Lug config? If yes, please could somebody let me know which car comes with this kind of setup, so that I can look around for specifically them? |
