We used 185/65R14 Alnac 4Gs on Etios for around 70k kms with zero issues. This car has seen urban and rural usage, worst roads, but no issues faced. Later we upsized the tyres and went for 4G as 4Gs were not available in the size.

The Brezza was sold with Apollo Alnac 4Gs as stock from the time of its 2016 launch up until the new Brezza was launched and was pretty successful and faced nowhere near the heat as the Alnac 4G did on the Baleno. Like I mentioned on the other thread, the issue here has more to do with the size and the sidewall only being of 107 mm.

Apollo also has a cSUV specific product Apterra Cross which they sell in the replacement market (and now comes as stock fitment on the Hyryder/Grand Vitara)
