Are the stock tyres and rims provided with Suzuki Swift ideal for Pakistani road conditions?

Many Swift users upgrade their tyres after purchase due to concerns about grip, comfort, and durability. Are the factory-fitted tyres and rims under-specced for the road conditions in Pakistan, especially in rainy o r rough terrain?

The factory-fitted tyres are usually 165/70 R14 o r 185/55 R16 depending on the variant. These are:

Economical and smooth for city driving

Not very durable on pothole-filled roads o r in wet/slippery conditions
Many Swift owners in Pakistan upgrade to 185/65 R15 o r similar, which:

Improves grip and comfort

Slightly increases ground clearance

May slightly reduce fuel efficiency and increase road noise
Tip: Go for high-quality brands like Dunlop, Yokohama, o r Continental for better performance and safety.
