Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Fullrun FRUN ONE 185-60-15- Suzuki Swift 1.5 8,000 miles April 21, 2025
Decent tyres for casual drivers, I drove with them aggressively and they do not slip unless pushed to the extreme, make a lot of noise and vibrations when on old roads, freshly laid road feels fine.

Kumho Ecsta PS31 225-45-17- Suzuki Swift 1.5 2,000 miles September 1, 2021
I enjoy driving fast and cornering fast in Genting Highlands. Changing from Re003, first thing i noticed is how comfortable this PS31 is. Side walls are significantly softer and significantly less road nice. Bad thing is, my car lost the sharpness from the initial turn of the wheel. Not to say that this tyre is not grippy, its just that it doesnt feel as sharp as the re003, Grip is fine during hard cornering. Just a little sad that i lost the sharpness of the re003. Conclusion? Buy this if you touge on the weekends and daily drive the same car to work. This tyre is good considering the price.

Achilles 123S 195-50-15- Suzuki Swift 1.5 1,000 miles April 12, 2017
Been using it for a while, good choice for low budget, amazing dry grip but really slippery on wet track (i have to lower the pressure to maintain optimal grip on wet surface), worn out easily(a bit softer compund maybe?), bit noisy(a lot less noise than the predecessor 123), but overall its good because of the value for money, would buy again, shred your tyre not your wallet

Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 205-45-16-V Suzuki Swift 1.5 30,000 miles February 2, 2015
If your stuck with limited budget, grip level so and so...this is the tyre for you. Noisy as hell after being used 1 year. My advice if comfort is your choice then avoid choosing this tyre.

Barum Brillantis 2 185-60-15- Suzuki Swift 1.5 5,000 miles September 21, 2013
Awful very dangerous tyre no grip in the wet like driving on ice.
Average to poor in the dry.
Breaks away easily on roundabouts even in the dry if slihtly pushed.

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec 225-45-17- Suzuki Swift 1.5 80 miles November 21, 2012
Had used many different brands and models of tyres.
Till date, this tyre at its price is one of the best performances for me.

Nexen CP641 225-45-17- Suzuki Swift 1.5 10,000 miles October 31, 2012
I somehow stuck with these tyres for 10,000 miles. They were new on the car when I bought it. The wear rate is very good, I'd guess left on the back of my car they would have done 50,000 miles plus.

The major drawback is no wet grip. I have fairly reasonable expectations of tyres on wet roads, I know there is a lot less grip available but these Nexen tyres are really poor. In a straight line they are just about acceptable but as soon as you ask them to turn and brake or accelerate at the same time there is no grip at all. Huge wheel spin in 2nd on part throttle (I'd don't have a powerful car or drive it hard). On the brakes the ABS will trigger as if you are on ice.

I've just replaced these tyres for some new mid-range ones of a different brand and the difference is huge.

Marshal KH35 185-60-15-H Suzuki Swift 1.5 20 miles August 2, 2012
I have had these tyres on all 4 wheels and iI have driven over 20,000 miles and they have plenty of miles left on them, the only problem I had was that my tracking was out and this has left one tyre a bit low on the shoulder but I still have well over 1,000 miles left easily, I reckon that the mactrac kh35 is not a budget it is just a name that someone has stuck on the tyre, it gives great comfortable good gripping in wet/dry and snow and great wear, best tyre I ever bought and I will be getting them on any car I buy as long as they are still being made. these reviews that show extremely bad or poor points are probably placed by some young boy racers that like to drive around corners and roundabouts at 40 miles an hour just to hear their tyres squeal, so ignore all the stupid lousy bad reviews, I am just an ordinary driver and I drive the way that I should drive "IN A SENSIBLE MANNER" so if you nwant a tyre that is good value for money, gives good wet/dry/snow gripping, great mileage, comfort, handling get the marshall mactrac kh35 and I am sure you will agree with me. THIS IS A REAL REVIEW FROM A REAL PROPER DRIVER

Bridgestone Potenza RE030 185-60-15-R Suzuki Swift 1.5 30,000 miles February 17, 2012
Those are original, lasted 4 years and could be used longer but I did not like the way they made the car drive. they where hard, made the steering very hard job without improving the feeling which made long distance very tiring. Good road holding duo.
