The recommended tyre size for the Suzuki Swift in Pakistan depends on the variant and model year, but for most locally assembled and imported models including the 2022–2024 models, the standard size is:

Tyre Size: 185/55 R16
Rim Size: 16 inches
For older models, the common size is 165/70 R14 o r 175/65 R15

How Changing Tyre Size Affects Performance:
Advantages of Upsizing e.g., 195/55 R16 o r 205/50 R16:
Better grip and cornering stability, especially on highways.

A sportier look.

Improved handling in dry conditions.

Disadvantages:
Reduced fuel efficiency due to increased rolling resistance.

Speedometer error – your actual speed will be different from what’s displayed.

Higher chances of rubbing on fenders o r suspension if not fitted correctly.

Harsher ride if profile aspect ratio is lower – especially on rough Pakistani roads.

Best Practices:
Stick as close as possible to OEM specs for safety and warranty.

If upsizing, ensure the overall diameter difference is within ±3% of the original size to avoid suspension and ABS issues.

Use a tyre size calculator before making changes.

Choose reliable brands like Dunlop, Yokohama, Michelin, o r Bridgestone for Pakistani roads.
