Best Tires for the Suzuki Swift 1.3l 2007

Done 5000km's (3100miles) so far on these tires and so far they perform perfect, no signs of wear what so ever. They tend to feel a bit 'vague' when cornering hard and the sidewall is on the softer side. But they are very good for comfort. Not much noise and they absorb bumps well and are very good in the rain. (Resists aquaplanning quite ok)

Braking is good as well, but when doing an emergency stop, the tires tend to screech and lose a little traction. (More than the previous Uniroyal)
Price was a little high in my opinion, but if i could get them with a discount, i'd get them again.

All I can say is CHEAP, CRAPPY, a bad decision to buy. Having full access to a tire shop with modern equipment, we couldnt get any of these to properly balance as all four had exceptionally high runout in the up and down and side to side directions. Mounting them on the rims in multiple positions did not correct, while on most brands it will fix. The car shook like crazy at 60mph and up and wasnt stabile. We replaced them with Nankang CX668s and a world of difference.

-Good dry and wrt grip for normal usage for a family car
-Low noise level due to the simple tread pattern but noisier than Primacy ST
-Excellence tread life, will last 60000 miles if driven on good roads.
-Soft sidewall causes a bit of body roll, but nothing to worry about.
-Bland looks
-More expensive than competition especially in my country (India)

as a winter tire that wont cost you an arm or a leg and still can get you where you want .. this is a quiet soft comfortable tire , even when the temperature rises above 10c its still grips well , the wear is good to but i didnt drive them hard or pushed them to the limit .. for a suzuki swift 4x4 1.3L they put a smile on my face

What can I say, put these on all 4 corners last week and instant improvement, wet grip at 2c etc is fantastic, dry grip great, shorter braking distance than my summers, defo worth the investment for winter, not sure about snow yet not had any

On the plus side this have lasted well. Very good in dry, soon as get wet that changes and cannot brake very quickly / no grip at all, did almost run into two cars from rear! under 4mm they are shocking and aquaplane all time in rain. when new where okay in snow not so much under 6mm. never felt confident after first 6 months when worn in to the extent my car feels unstable over 50 on motorway in wet conditions.

Replacing with Goodyear ultra grip 8's, reviews amazing on that tire for the winter

i put these on a suzuki swift and honestly they are the best thing i have ever done for that POS.

got my through last winter with unbelievable reliability. never faltered once on the snow (unlike many, many, many, many uk drivers i corrected my driving to compensate for the weather)

im so chuffed with them, im back to buy more for my new car!

The wear on these tires has been minimal over 10,000 miles suggesting a hard rubber compound that gives reasonable performance in the dry. In the wet, the feedback is good, but unfortunately the tires are telling you that they have minimal grip which translates to significant understeer at relatively low speeds. I would not want to brake hard in the wet and always drive defensively to avoid the possibility. They have M+S stamped on them which used to mean Mud & Snow when I was a lad. I'm not sure what it means now but while the tires are ok on fresh snow their performance in slush or on ice is poor. As a budget tire for driving around in the dry they are fine but any hint of wet weather requires a large adjustment in expectation and speed.

These tires are very good. My car came with Continental Eco Contact3 165/70/14, and I replaced them with Falken ze912 185/60/15 on a new pair of Rial rims. Everybody told me the road noise will be louder, and the car's consumption will rise. I was in for a big surprise. Road noise the same, consumption the same, but dry grip and handling ... much better. The car turns where i want, when i want and as fast as i want. Very very good tires. Tried them once in rain. Nothing bad here.
