Hi Guys, I am a new member and have been keenly following the fabulous articles on tyre & rims. I have booked my Swift Vdi white and is expecting delivery early next month. I am interested in upgrading my tyres to 195/60/R15 with Yokohama Es100 tyres. Can the experts confirm as to whether I am on the right track track or not? The exchange price against the stock tyres is around 33K (4 rims & tyres). Is the price Ok? |

I am no expert, tyre size is perfect but the ES100 is a pretty old model so you may want to look for something else. And before you pick your wheels make sure you have the correct offset, +38 is the correct offset for the swift, you could play around with plus or minus 3mm. |

After reading reviews and talking to many swift owners with 195/60 R15, FE may drop by 0.5 km-1 km max but the handling will be excellent since this is the right upsize for 15" inch. Looks good as well! If you want to continue with the existing 14" inch, go for 185/70 as Iraghava said. No issues with FE. |

Hi anshurao, Comming to the other points, in case ES100 is old, what make and model would you suggest? For rims, I have made an initial selection of a LEAGUE make mag which I found on the Scoda superb as a standard fitment in of the Cars & Bikes magazine. How about the net exchange price of 33K for a set of 4 against the factory fitted tyres and rims?please: Cheers. |

Guys, I know 205/55 R15 is the right upsize for Swift but what difference does it make if I go for 205/50 R15 or 205/50 R16? 205/50 R15 - Wrong upsize? 205/50 R16 - Too much for a swift? I like the 50 profile! What are the disadvantages? or any advantages? |

205/55 is best. 205/50 will give you incorrect OD, harsher ride (compared to 55) and increased chances (marginally) of sidewall failure in our conditions. If you really want 50 profile, go in for 205/50 R16, it's a decent compromise. |
