What is the tire specification for the Swift?
2 Answers
The original tire specification for the Swift is 185/60R15. Below is relevant information about car tires: 1. Function: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities, and bear the weight of the car. The important role of tires in vehicles is increasingly being recognized. 2. Classification: Based on structure, tires can be divided into radial tires and bias-ply tires; based on tread patterns, they can be categorized into ribbed tires, transverse pattern tires, mixed pattern tires, and off-road pattern tires.
I've driven a Swift for many years, and the tire specification is usually 195/55 R16, which refers to a tire width of 195 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 55%, and a wheel diameter of 16 inches. As an owner, I find that the factory size strikes a good balance between comfort and grip, especially with effective shock absorption during city commutes. It's advisable to check tire pressure regularly, such as once a month, keeping it within the range of 2.2-2.4 bar; if the tread depth falls below 1.6mm, it's time to replace the tires to avoid slipping. Opt for brands like Bridgestone or Michelin—they are durable and can last around 50,000 kilometers. Don't skimp on quality to save a few bucks.
