IF you had read the previous few pages, you would have found out the answer. Its 32 for front, 29 for rear. See the driver side door panel, there is a sticker which gives out the recommended figures.

Which panel says 32 in front and 29 in rear? The OEM recommendation is 33 in all I guess.

You got it right pal, Michelin offers the best in class comfort (at a cost!). Nothing like it. But, the downside being the durability and the softer sidewalls. There have been few instances where fellow BHpians have complained about sidewall bulge/tear. Its for this sole reason I didn't buy it. At little lesser than 4k, its expensive. If you face too much of bad roads, rocky surfaces, you better stay away from Michelin ( as a precautionary measure). You can consider Yoko or BridgeStone. BS being harder than Yoko. BS has a little harsher ride compared to Yoko. Choose b/w these two. All the best in your tyre hunt:)

How about the Continental ones. Nikhil has been advocating those for many a swift and other vehicles.

When you open the driver door, just look at the hook like thing where the door latches itself to, scan down on the line to find that sticker.

Its 32 front/29 rear,I am pretty sure of, unless Dzire and Swift have different recommendation. That's the manufacturer's recommendation.

I see yours is 2005 model. My Dzire is Jan 2010 manufactured. 32 front/29 rear. 185/70R14 profile.

The Michelin's were looking totally out of place.

After giving into the monopolistic attitude of New Bharath Tyres [the staff are quite friendly though], got myself yokos 205/60/14s [Michelins were 180/70/14s].

yet to do some serious driving to note down differences but my ride sure looks good now :D

Anyways my question to the experts out here is, what would be the correct air pressure to be maintained for this tyre profile?

thanks :)

Recommended tyre size and psi:

165/80 R14: Front 33, Rear 33
185/70 R14: Front 29, Rear 29

That's settled then?! :D

165/80 R14: Front 33, Rear 33

It varies, don't know the reason but it does. e.g. my dad's swift lxi says 35 in front & 33 in rear. I can check mine (swift ldi) too but I'm sure it'd be a different recommendation.

Can anyone clarify why this variation exists?
