The Maruti Swift is Bangalore’s most common car. On any given morning on the Outer Ring Road, in any parking lot in Koramangala or Whitefield, in any apartment complex in Kasturi Nagar or Banaswadi, you’ll find more Swifts than any other model. We know, because we service more Swifts at Tyre Torque than any other vehicle in our workshop.
And we see the same mistake over and over.
A Swift owner walks in needing tyre replacement. They’ve done no research. They say “give me four tyres” without knowing their variant’s size. The shop they called before us quoted a price for one size; we fit another. They leave confused about whether they got the right tyre.
Or worse — they’ve had tyres fitted at a roadside shop that gave them the wrong brand for the wrong use case, and 18,000 km later they’re back, bewildered at how quickly the front tyres wore out on their daily Bellandur commute.
This guide fixes all of that. It covers every Swift variant sold in Bangalore, the exact correct tyre size for each, a clear brand-by-brand recommendation with honest 2026 Bangalore prices, and the specific reasons why certain brands outperform others on Bangalore’s roads. By the time you finish reading, you’ll know exactly what to buy, what to pay, and what questions to ask.
MARUTI SWIFT VARIANTS AND TYRE SIZES — GET THIS RIGHT FIRST
The most important thing to know before reading any tyre recommendation: your Swift’s variant determines your tyre size. Fitting the wrong size — even if it physically mounts on the rim — can throw off your speedometer reading, affect fuel efficiency, stress your wheel bearings, and invalidate warranty claims.
Here is the definitive size guide for every current-generation Swift variant on Bangalore roads:
CURRENT GENERATION (2024 — PRESENT, 4TH GENERATION):
Swift LXi — 165/80 R14 14-inch steel wheels. OEM tyre: Apollo Amazer XL. This is the entry variant. Narrower tyre, taller sidewall. Prioritises fuel efficiency over sporty handling.
Swift VXi — 165/80 R14 14-inch steel wheels. OEM tyre: Apollo Amazer XL. Same size as LXi. The VXi adds features (infotainment, push-start) but uses the same wheel and tyre specification.
Swift ZXi — 185/65 R15 15-inch alloy wheels. OEM tyre: Apollo Alnac 4G. Wider tyre, lower profile. Better grip, slightly firmer ride than the R14.
Swift ZXi+ — 185/65 R15 15-inch alloy wheels. OEM tyre: Apollo Alnac 4G. Top-spec variant. Same tyre size as ZXi with additional safety and comfort features.
PREVIOUS GENERATION (2018–2023, 3RD GENERATION): Same tyre sizes apply — 165/80 R14 for base variants, 185/65 R15 for top variants. The 3rd generation petrol Swift also came with diesel (VDi, ZDi, ZDi+) variants using the same size split.
2ND GENERATION (2011–2017): Base variants (LXi, VXi): 165/80 R14 Mid variants (ZXi): 185/70 R14 (note: 14-inch, not 15-inch — different from current gen) Top variants (ZDi, ZXi+ on later models): 185/65 R15
If you own a 2nd generation Swift with 185/70 R14 wheels — a less common size — see the specific brand recommendations in the R14 section below where we cover both sub-sizes.
QUICK CHECK — HOW TO CONFIRM YOUR TYRE SIZE: Don’t rely on memory. Look at the outer sidewall of any existing tyre — the size is moulded into the rubber in large text. If you see “165/80 R14” you have the base size. If you see “185/65 R15” you have the alloy-spec size. When in doubt, also check the sticker on the inside of your driver’s door jamb.
UNDERSTANDING THE SWIFT’S CHARACTER — WHY IT MATTERS FOR TYRE CHOICE
The Maruti Swift is a front-wheel drive hatchback built on Maruti’s HEARTECT platform. It weighs approximately 865–895 kg depending on variant — making it one of the lighter hatchbacks in its class. This lightness has specific implications for tyre behaviour that should influence your choice.
LIGHT WEIGHT MEANS TYRE COMPOUNDS MATTER MORE: Heavier cars compress tyre compounds more deeply, which helps even out compound quality differences between budget and premium brands. On a lighter car like the Swift, a cheaper, harder compound tyre gives a noticeably harsher ride and less grip feedback because the tyre isn’t being loaded sufficiently to compress into its optimal contact patch. In simpler terms: the Swift rewards a good tyre compound more than an SUV does.
FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE MEANS FRONT TYRE WEAR IS ACCELERATED: The Swift’s engine drives the front wheels. The front tyres handle steering, braking, and power transmission simultaneously. In Bangalore’s stop-and-go traffic — Silk Board, Hebbal flyover, Old Madras Road — the front tyres absorb the majority of braking forces hundreds of times per day. Without regular tyre rotation every 8,000–10,000 km, Swift front tyres can wear 40–50% faster than the rears.
THE SWIFT ON BANGALORE ROADS — SPECIFIC CHALLENGES: The Swift’s relatively modest ground clearance (163 mm) and somewhat firm suspension means it communicates road surface irregularities — potholes, speed breakers, road edges — more directly to the occupants than taller SUVs. A tyre with a taller sidewall (like the 165/80 R14) provides more cushioning, while the lower-profile 185/65 R15 trades some of that cushioning for better handling response. This trade-off is worth understanding before choosing a tyre within a size category.
BEST TYRES FOR MARUTI SWIFT LXi AND VXi — SIZE 165/80 R14
This is the base tyre size for Bangalore’s most common Swift variants — and ironically the one most guides give the least attention to. Most articles focus on the alloy-spec R15 because it sounds more exciting. But the majority of Swifts on Bangalore roads are LXi and VXi with steel wheels and R14 tyres. Here’s the complete brand guide for this size.
THE PHYSICS OF 165/80 R14: The 80 in 165/80 R14 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 80% of the tyre width. This gives the Swift LXi/VXi a tall sidewall of approximately 132 mm. That tall sidewall acts like an additional cushion, absorbing pothole impacts and speed breaker shocks before they reach the wheel rim. This is excellent for Bangalore roads and one reason the base Swift handles rough surfaces more comfortably than its ground clearance number might suggest.
BRAND 1 — APOLLO AMAZER 4G LIFE (165/80 R14) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹3,200 – ₹4,200 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹15,000 – ₹19,000
This is the OEM-equivalent recommendation for Swift LXi and VXi — the Apollo Amazer XL was the factory-fitted tyre on thousands of Bangalore Swifts. The Amazer 4G Life is the updated successor with better wet-grip compound than the XL it replaced.
What it does well: Consistent mileage-focused compound. Designed to last long on city roads. Wide distribution network for warranty claims. Quiet ride quality for a budget tyre.
Where it falls short: Wet braking at higher speeds is adequate but not exceptional. On the Bangalore-Mysore highway during monsoon season, more confident options exist.
Best for: Daily city commuters — Kasturi Nagar to Whitefield, Banaswadi to Koramangala — who prioritise reliability and long tread life over peak wet-weather performance. LXi and VXi owners doing 12,000–18,000 km annually.
Tread life Bangalore: 38,000 – 45,000 km
BRAND 2 — CEAT MILAZE X3 (165/80 R14) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹3,800 – ₹4,800 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹17,000 – ₹22,000
CEAT’s strongest offering in the R14 size for the Swift. The Milaze X3 was developed with Indian city driving patterns specifically in mind — high-frequency braking, heat cycles from stop-and-go traffic, and monsoon road surfaces. It shows.
What it does well: Noticeably better wet braking than the Apollo Amazer in this size. The longitudinal groove pattern evacuates water effectively — on flooded Bangalore roads during July and August, the grip difference over basic tyres is tangible. Comfortable, low road noise for a city tyre. Good thermal stability in Bangalore’s 35°C+ summer temperatures.
Where it falls short: Slightly softer compound means marginally faster wear on swift drivers who accelerate briskly from signals. If your Swift has a heavy right foot, expect the lower end of the tread life range.
Best for: Our top recommendation for Swift LXi/VXi owners who drive through Bangalore’s monsoon regularly. Anyone commuting on Sarjapur Road, Hosur Road, or Tumkur Road where water accumulation is common.
Tread life Bangalore: 36,000 – 44,000 km
BRAND 3 — MRF NYLOGRIP ZAPPER-F (165/80 R14) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹3,500 – ₹4,500 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹16,000 – ₹20,000
MRF is India’s most trusted tyre brand by volume, and the Nylogrip Zapper-F delivers exactly what the MRF name promises — dependable, consistent performance with the widest service and availability network in Bangalore.
What it does well: Reliability and availability. If you have a tyre issue anywhere in Bangalore, an MRF-authorised service outlet is nearby. Good heat resistance for the Indian summer. Proven long-term durability on Indian road surfaces.
Where it falls short: Wet-weather performance lags behind CEAT Milaze X3 in this category. On rapidly flooded surfaces, the Zapper-F takes longer to evacuate water from the contact patch. Fine for most conditions, but not the sharpest in heavy rain.
Best for: Swift owners who travel frequently outside Bangalore — Mysore, Mangalore, Coimbatore — where MRF’s extensive national service network is a practical advantage. Also ideal for Swift owners in Bangalore who prioritise service accessibility over peak wet performance.
Tread life Bangalore: 38,000 – 46,000 km
BRAND 4 — BRIDGESTONE B250 (165/80 R14) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹4,200 – ₹5,500 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹19,500 – ₹25,000
Bridgestone’s entry in the R14 segment for the Swift. The B250 is aimed specifically at the Indian entry-level hatchback market and delivers the Bridgestone compound quality at a price point accessible to Swift LXi/VXi owners.
What it does well: Comfort. The B250’s compound absorbs road noise and vibration better than any of the Indian brand options in this size. For a Swift owner who spends 90+ minutes daily in Bangalore traffic, the cabin quietness difference is noticeable — less fatigue, more comfort. Wet braking is also a clear step up from Indian budget options.
Where it falls short: Price. At ₹4,200–₹5,500 per tyre, you’re paying a premium over the Apollo and CEAT options for comfort gains that not every Swift driver will notice or prioritise.
Best for: LXi/VXi owners who want the most comfortable daily city commute possible and are willing to pay ₹800–₹1,200 more per tyre for it. Particularly good for Bangalore drivers who use their Swift for early morning or late-night highway drives where noise and comfort matter more.
Tread life Bangalore: 40,000 – 50,000 km
OUR RECOMMENDATION — SWIFT LXi AND VXi (165/80 R14):
Best value for money: CEAT Milaze X3 Quietest ride: Bridgestone B250 Most reliable availability: MRF Nylogrip Zapper-F Best long-distance choice: Apollo Amazer 4G Life
BEST TYRES FOR MARUTI SWIFT ZXi AND ZXi+ — SIZE 185/65 R15
This is the more popular section among Swift buyers — because the ZXi and ZXi+ are the variants most Bangalore buyers actually choose. The 185/65 R15 is a widely available size with strong options across every budget tier.
THE PHYSICS OF 185/65 R15: Compared to the R14 size, the 185/65 R15 is 20 mm wider and has a lower aspect ratio (65 vs 80). This means more rubber on the road — better grip and handling response — but a shorter sidewall (approximately 120 mm vs 132 mm) that provides slightly less pothole cushioning. The performance trade-off is real but modest. In everyday Bangalore commuting, you’ll notice better cornering response on the ZXi without significant comfort loss.
BRAND 1 — APOLLO ALNAC 4G (185/65 R15) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹4,800 – ₹5,800 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹21,000 – ₹26,000
The OEM tyre on the current-generation Swift ZXi and ZXi+ from the factory. That’s not marketing — Maruti’s engineers chose Apollo Alnac 4G as the best fit for the Swift ZXi’s suspension tuning and driving character. That tells you a great deal about how well this tyre suits the car.
What it does well: The Alnac 4G has the best wet-grip performance in the Indian brand segment for this size. Apollo invested heavily in silica compound technology for this tyre, and it shows in wet-weather braking. During the July–September monsoon on Bangalore roads — the Outer Ring Road after an evening downpour, the KR Puram underpass approaches, Sarjapur Road’s notoriously flooded sections — the Alnac 4G gives noticeably confident braking.
The ride quality is balanced for the Swift’s character — slightly sporty without being harsh, which suits the car’s positioning as a fun-to-drive hatchback.
Where it falls short: Tread life is moderate. Aggressive Swift drivers — those who brake hard from signals and corner enthusiastically — will see the lower end of the tread life range.
Best for: ZXi/ZXi+ owners who want OEM-quality replacement, the best wet-grip available in the budget segment, and confidence in a brand that has designed this tyre specifically for this car.
Tread life Bangalore: 38,000 – 48,000 km
BRAND 2 — MRF ZVTS (185/65 R15) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹4,500 – ₹5,500 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹20,000 – ₹25,000
India’s most popular selling tyre model in this segment — and for good reason. The ZVTS has been refined over years of use on millions of Indian hatchbacks and is thoroughly proven on Indian roads, including Bangalore’s specific challenges.
What it does well: Consistent, predictable performance across all conditions. Excellent thermal stability — the MRF compound handles Bangalore’s road surface temperatures (50–55°C in peak summer) well. Longer tread life than the Alnac 4G for moderate driving styles. The nationwide MRF service network is an asset for Swift owners who travel frequently.
Where it falls short: Wet-weather performance lags behind the Alnac 4G. In heavy monsoon conditions on Bangalore’s wet roads, the ZVTS takes marginally more distance to brake cleanly. Fine for calm drivers; less reassuring for those who brake late.
Best for: Swift ZXi owners who prioritise long tread life and reliable availability over peak wet-weather performance. Ideal for moderate drivers covering 15,000–20,000 km annually on a mix of city and highway roads.
Tread life Bangalore: 40,000 – 50,000 km
BRAND 3 — CEAT SECUREADRIVE (185/65 R15) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹4,400 – ₹5,400 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹20,000 – ₹25,000
CEAT’s flagship offering for hatchbacks in this segment. The SecuraDrive is engineered with a focus on wet-road safety — its wide circumferential grooves and lateral sipes are designed to channel water rapidly from the contact patch.
What it does well: Comparable wet-grip to the Alnac 4G at a similar price point. Low road noise for the price — CEAT has improved significantly in this area over their previous generation. Good price for the performance delivered.
Where it falls short: Slightly firmer ride feel than MRF ZVTS — some Swift owners find it communicates road texture more directly than they prefer on bumpy Bangalore roads.
Best for: Budget-conscious ZXi owners who don’t want to compromise on wet-weather safety. A close alternative to the Alnac 4G if stock is unavailable.
Tread life Bangalore: 36,000 – 44,000 km
BRAND 4 — YOKOHAMA EARTH-1 E400 (185/65 R15) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹6,200 – ₹7,500 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹28,000 – ₹34,000
The best mid-range option for Swift ZXi owners who want a clear upgrade from Indian brands without paying premium prices. The Yokohama Earth-1 is Japanese engineering at an accessible price — a combination of fuel-efficient compound, good wet grip, and noticeably quieter ride.
What it does well: Fuel efficiency is the Yokohama’s standout quality in this segment. The Earth-1’s low rolling resistance compound improves fuel economy measurably — Swift owners doing 20,000 km annually can expect 0.5–0.8 km/litre improvement over Indian brand tyres. In real numbers, that’s ₹4,000–₹7,000 in annual fuel savings for a Bangalore commuter. The ride is quieter and more refined than any Indian brand option, making the Swift’s cabin feel more upmarket.
Where it falls short: Distribution is thinner than Indian brands — not every Bangalore tyre shop stocks Yokohama. At Tyre Torque, we always carry it, but calling ahead is recommended.
Best for: ZXi/ZXi+ owners who commute 20,000+ km annually and want the fuel savings to partially offset the higher tyre cost. The quiet ride also makes it ideal for Swift owners who use their car daily for longer distances — Bangalore to Tumkur, or Electronic City to Hebbal.
Tread life Bangalore: 45,000 – 55,000 km
BRAND 5 — MICHELIN ENERGY XM2+ (185/65 R15) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹8,500 – ₹10,500 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹38,000 – ₹46,000
Michelin’s premium offering for entry-level hatchbacks in India. The Energy XM2+ is engineered with Michelin’s silica compound technology — the same fundamental approach used in their higher-end tyres, adapted for the Indian market’s price sensitivity and road conditions.
What it does well: The XM2+ has the best wet-weather braking performance in this segment — measurably shorter stopping distances in heavy rain compared to all Indian brand options. In Bangalore’s monsoon season, this difference is not academic. On a wet Outer Ring Road at 70 km/h, 3–5 metres less braking distance is meaningful safety margin.
The tread life is the longest in this category — the harder silica compound resists wear without sacrificing wet grip, which is the engineering achievement that makes Michelin’s reputation. A Swift ZXi owner doing 15,000 km annually in Bangalore can expect 55,000–65,000 km from a set of XM2+ tyres — extending the tyre replacement cycle to nearly 4 years.
The fuel efficiency is also superior — lower rolling resistance adds 0.8–1.0 km/litre, saving ₹6,000–₹8,000 annually for a typical Bangalore commuter.
Where it falls short: Price. At ₹8,500–₹10,500 per tyre, a full set costs ₹38,000–₹46,000. The upfront cost is roughly 2x the Indian brand options.
The 3-year total cost calculation:
MRF ZVTS set over 45,000 km: ₹20,800 tyres + ₹3,000 fitment = ₹23,800 Fuel cost at 18 km/l for 45,000 km at ₹105/l: ₹2,62,500 Total: ₹2,86,300
Michelin XM2+ set (lasts 60,000 km, so 0.75 sets for same distance): ₹41,000 × 0.75 + ₹2,500 fitment = ₹33,250 Fuel cost at 18.8 km/l (1 km/l improvement) for 45,000 km at ₹105/l: ₹2,50,950 Total: ₹2,84,200
The Michelin is cheaper over 3 years — by roughly ₹2,100 — before accounting for superior wet braking safety.
Best for: ZXi/ZXi+ owners who plan to keep their Swift for 4+ more years, do 15,000–20,000 km annually, and want the safest wet-weather performance available for the car. The cost-per-kilometre is excellent; it’s only the upfront number that gives people pause.
Tread life Bangalore: 52,000 – 65,000 km
BRAND 6 — BRIDGESTONE TURANZA T005 (185/65 R15) Price per tyre Bangalore 2026: ₹8,000 – ₹9,500 Set of four all-inclusive: ₹36,000 – ₹43,000
Bridgestone’s flagship touring tyre for this segment. The Turanza T005 is engineered around three pillars — long life, wet braking, and quiet ride — all of which are relevant for Swift ZXi owners in Bangalore.
What it does well: The quietest tyre in this category. The Turanza’s compound and tread block design absorbs road noise at a level that transforms the Swift ZXi’s cabin feel. Wet braking is close to the Michelin XM2+ and well ahead of all Indian brand options. Long tread life.
Where it falls short: Marginally less fuel-efficient than the Michelin XM2+ due to slightly higher rolling resistance. Dry handling response feels slightly more comfort-biased than the XM2+, which some Swift drivers who enjoy the car’s sporty character might notice.
Best for: ZXi/ZXi+ owners who prioritise cabin quietness above all else — ideal for anyone who spends 1.5–2+ hours daily in Bangalore traffic and finds road noise fatiguing.
Tread life Bangalore: 50,000 – 62,000 km
OUR RECOMMENDATION — SWIFT ZXi AND ZXi+ (185/65 R15):
Best on a budget: Apollo Alnac 4G — best wet grip at an Indian brand price point Best value upgrade: Yokohama Earth-1 E400 — fuel savings offset cost, quieter ride Best wet-weather safety: Michelin Energy XM2+ — measurably shorter wet stopping distance Quietest ride: Bridgestone Turanza T005 — transforms cabin refinement Best for long-term owners: Michelin Energy XM2+ — lowest total cost of ownership over 3+ years
CAN YOU UPSIZE MARUTI SWIFT TYRES? THE HONEST ANSWER
This is one of the most searched questions about the Swift — and it deserves a clear, honest answer rather than the usual vague “consult your mechanic” non-answer.
CAN SWIFT LXi/VXi GO FROM 165/80 R14 TO 185/65 R15? Technically yes. The 185/65 R15 is Maruti’s own factory specification for the ZXi variant, so the size is known to work with the Swift’s suspension and wheel arch dimensions. However, you cannot simply fit 185/65 R15 tyres on 14-inch steel wheels — you would need to change to 15-inch rims, adding ₹8,000–₹15,000 in wheel replacement cost.
The overall diameter of 185/65 R15 is 622 mm vs 611 mm for 165/80 R14 — a difference of 11 mm or approximately 1.8%. This is within the generally accepted safe limit of 3%, meaning your speedometer will read approximately 1.8% lower than actual speed — negligible in practice.
What Maruti says: The manufacturer does not recommend this change for warranty-covered cars. After warranty expiry, the decision is yours.
Our recommendation: Unless you’re replacing steel wheels with alloys for cosmetic reasons anyway, the upsize cost (₹8,000–₹15,000 for wheels + tyre cost) does not deliver driving improvements that justify the expense on a standard city Swift. Save the money and invest in a better tyre brand within your existing size.
CAN SWIFT ZXi GO FROM 185/65 R15 TO 195/60 R15? This upsize is popular among Swift enthusiasts who want a sportier look and slightly wider contact patch. The overall diameter difference is -9 mm (a slight downsize in rolling circumference). Physically, this fits. Speedometer impact is minimal.
What you gain: Marginally wider contact patch. Slightly sportier appearance. What you lose: A bit of ride cushioning from the shorter sidewall. Slightly worse fuel efficiency.
Our recommendation: Not worth it for a daily Bangalore commuter. The marginal performance gain doesn’t offset the cost, and Bangalore’s potholes reward a taller sidewall.
MARUTI SWIFT TYRE MAINTENANCE IN BANGALORE — 5 HABITS THAT SAVE MONEY
HABIT 1 — CHECK TYRE PRESSURE EVERY 2 WEEKS, NOT ONCE A MONTH Bangalore’s road surface temperatures vary dramatically between winter mornings (15°C) and summer afternoons (35°C+). This temperature swing causes tyre pressure to fluctuate by 3–5 PSI between morning and afternoon. Set pressure to 29 PSI cold (morning) and do not add air during the afternoon when the tyre is hot. Monthly checks are not frequent enough in Bangalore’s temperature swings — fortnightly is the right interval.
HABIT 2 — ROTATE EVERY 8,000 KM, NOT 10,000 KM The Swift is front-wheel drive in a city with heavy braking. Front tyres wear 40–50% faster than rears without rotation. At Tyre Torque, we track Swift rotation intervals and can see clearly that customers rotating at 8,000 km get 12,000–18,000 km more total tyre life than those rotating at 12,000–15,000 km. That’s one extra set of tyres over a 5-year ownership cycle.
HABIT 3 — CHECK ALIGNMENT AFTER EVERY HARD POTHOLE HIT The Swift’s relatively light weight and modest suspension travel means pothole impacts transmit more directly to the wheel geometry. A single hard hit on Outer Ring Road or Sarjapur Road can shift your toe angle enough to start uneven wear within 3,000 km. Don’t wait for the scheduled 10,000 km alignment check if you’ve had a hard impact.
HABIT 4 — INSPECT TYRES VISUALLY EVERY MONTH Get down and look at each tyre. The inner edge — the side facing the engine bay — is the most common place for premature wear from negative camber, and it’s invisible from normal standing height. Run your hand across the tread. If you feel a step or ridge on one edge, get alignment checked immediately.
HABIT 5 — FIT NEW TYRES ON THE REAR FIRST When replacing two tyres rather than four, always fit new tyres on the rear axle. Move the better of the two old front tyres to the front, and put the new tyres at the rear. A rear tyre blowout on the Swift at Bangalore highway speeds is a spin event. A front tyre failure is a steering pull — manageable. This rule is non-negotiable regardless of which end of the car you think needs new tyres more urgently.
WHAT DOES A FULL SWIFT TYRE REPLACEMENT VISIT LOOK LIKE AT TYRE TORQUE?
Understanding what happens during the visit helps you verify quality and avoid overpaying.
When a Swift owner comes to us for tyre replacement, here’s what happens:
- We check current tyres — tread depth, wear pattern, sidewall condition — and confirm whether one, two, or all four need replacing and why.
- We check existing wheel alignment before removing tyres. If the wear pattern shows inner or outer edge wear, alignment is clearly out and must be corrected before new tyres go on.
- We match the correct brand and size to the variant. We’ve had customers arrive believing their ZXi uses R14 tyres because “that’s what the last shop fitted.” We always verify against the door jamb sticker.
- New tyres are mounted using a tyre changer machine — not levers or hand tools that risk damaging alloy rims.
- Each assembly is balanced on our computerised spin balancer. Before-and-after balance readings are available if requested.
- Nitrogen inflation to 29 PSI at tyre temperature.
- 3D wheel alignment is performed and a before-and-after printout issued with every full set of four tyres at no extra charge.
- Valve stems are replaced — rubber valves included free with every tyre set.
Total time for a full 4-tyre replacement including alignment: 60–90 minutes.
