Does the Suzuki Swift have a stiff o r uncomfortable ride due to its tyre setup?

Some Swift drivers in Pakistan say the ride quality feels stiff o r bumpy, especially on patched-up roads o r over potholes. Could this be due to the OEM tyre profile o r alloy wheel size? Would switching to softer tyres o r a different brand improve comfort?

Yes, the ride quality of the Suzuki Swift can feel firm o r stiff, especially on broken roads o r patched streets, which are common in Pakistan. This is due to:

Low-profile tyres 55 aspect ratio that transmit more road imperfections.

Stiff suspension setup aimed at sporty handling rather than comfort.
To improve comfort, many owners switch to softer compound tyres like Yokohama o r Michelin o r use a slightly higher profile tyre like 195/60 R15, which absorbs bumps better. However, this can slightly affect handling sharpness.
