kingfisher 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 Hi guys I am new in this Forum, just joined to ask a little in this thread. I have purchased a swift vdi & want to change to alloys. I have selected a set of 4 alloys of 15" (7" broad) & they are suggesting to fit VICTRA tire 195/55 R15. Will this be the right size? Moreover I could not follow the tire calculation showed by SGIITK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronit 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 the right upsige in 15" is 195/60/15 and don't go for vectra buy some good footware like yoko,michelin or bridgestone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bhalchandra 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2009 Ronit, Can you Show a calculation on how 195/60 R15 is the best upsize for Swift? What could be the effect on 1. Ride and handling? 2. Mileage 3. Any danger to suspension ? 4. Steering for R15 rims ( alloys ) what shd be the exact measures? if you can suggest a perfect combination of alloy with tyres will be appreciated I heard that 185/70 is the best upsize , rather safest ( max 20mm upsize than the stock is permissible ) Moreever does it have any implication on Warranty etc ( Ther is a Swift 1.5l SR4 Pic posted in one thread with 17' alloy with 205/40 rubber ... looks cool.) Pls clarify fast bhalchandra2009-02-08 09:07:38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The listed diameters are from calculations based on the tire size. When changing tire sizes, we recommend staying within 3% of the diameter/height of the original tire. Any more than this and you face the risk of brake failure. This tire calculator is for information purposes only and we do not guarantee fitment based on this calculator alone. Here both 185/70 r14 and 195/60 r15 are looking the safest upsize 195/60 will look cool than the 185/70:- this will be perfect +1 upsize where 185/70 comes with ZXI hence 0 upsize.
