Suzuki Swift Owners Club

Stock size is 185/60R15. Best for comfort and fuel economy.

AOA everyone please tell me if 195 tyre size fits on swift i dont mind the drop in fuel average and also advise if there are any other disadvantages and if upgrading tyre profile from 60 to 65 also causes any issues?

[sohail-malik]

Ive drivin my swift around 80k and used hankook tyres they had the worst road grip my car slips from the back Please suggest a good traction tyre thankyou.

Bhai aisa nahi hai suzuki 3s themselves suggest compatible parts they keep their catalogue as well as a reference if u go in their parts section
Yesterday they themselves got the parts from market although they costed me around 7k cheaper then Suzuki SGP parts but still they charged me around 1200 tax+ rider charges on them as well
MK pads are recommended because they are softer and themselves get consumed instead of eating the disc. Asuki pads are vice versa
And yesterday i shifted from Zic X9 to Shell Helix Ultra. Although 3S guy resisted this change quoting that there is no oil close to the quality of zic (except i guess LM and Mobil) he quoted ke shell aur caltex qareeb bhi nahi aatay zic ke. I also heard similar thing everywhere and I myself think Zic is top class but it was expensive then shell and caltex so decided to shift to shell and caltex bought one bottle of 4L of each brand. Now testing shell and in next change will test Caltex. After yesterday change of plugs, cleaning of throttle body and change of air and oil filter the car has got a new life and acceleration. Most of the people resist getting these scheduled inspections done from 3s but i am in great favor of these inspections may be at longer periods but you should get them done. Its a preventative maintenance and helps in preventing bigger disasters

I'm from Karachi, can you please tell me a shop name in plaza area where I can get these genuine parts. I'm searching for all the air and oil filters, brake pads and shoes. Also looking for plugs and fuel filter.

[crossfirex]

There are 3-4 shops which i have found but I think u should further search and try getting further cheaper but try to get exact OEM products atleast u can get Air/oil filter and spark plugs same as OEM much cheaper like i got air filter in 1800 oil filter in 1000 but later on some one even quoted 700 for it. 1100 for 04 x Spark plugs BKR6E-11 (yes dont go for some alternative iridium plugs firstly they are not available i am talking about IFR6J11 rather IFR6T11 is only available then its rubbish to pay for them hefty amount since company will still direct u to change them after 30k or max 40k kms. Rear bearing of NSK Japan for 2100 and although not bought but getting MK Brake pads from 2000-2100 from various shops of karachi in addition to plaza. So some shops at plaza are:
Annu bhai motors +922132744458
Altaf enterprises 02132772157
Iqbal Autos (dont remember exact name but very small shop)
Mehran Autos 02132760961
For lubricants: Lubricant Mart
And I would request all those who read my post to strictly buy at the above mentioned prices and keep the market competition because its us the buyers who start paying little more and the market price of that item gradually rises
Some shops at other places for cheaper rates are
SuperWay autos at water pump 02136326021
New Ozair Autos opposite to Aladin

NOTE: Remember brake pads should have the ABS pin as shown in picture of my original brake pad below:

[pwuser150783058187]

I ordered it from a FB page. But I didn’t received the tyres yet. I will update once it’s received

[pwuser150783058187]

Altaf enterprises is a good dealer.

[crossfirex]

But his prices are higher than others

[crossfirex]

I have installed Yokohama Advan DB 185/65/R15 88H and they are KAMAL tyres even much better than stock Bridgestone Turanza which itself is a very good tyre

[pwuser150783058187]

How much for 1 tyre?

[crossfirex]

I installed when it was around 9500 per tyre around 1.5 year back
I remember dollar was around 117

[mohsan87]

Which ABS pin you are talking about ? Can you please highlight that

[uzair3337]

i am planning to replace stock spark plugs with iridium ones.
there are 2 option ik20 or ik20tt.
ik20tt are a bit expensive but they have platinum on ground electrode.
anyone using these plugs?

[mohsan87]

Denso IK20 are good option .used them in my swift and advantage of iridium plugs are just they are maintenance free..install and forget for 50,000 KMS. No need to clean

[uzair3337]

i have read in this thread that it improves pick of car and fuel economy is that so?
which oil filter/air filter you used?
were you mixing high octane in the fuel or not?

[mohsan87]

Copper is best conductor.
I didn't feel any difference in copper vs iridium. For copper one I had to clean after 10k and replace after 30k. But for iridium just install and forget for 50k

I am using genuine Suzuki Air filter and Genuine Suzuki Oil filter since day 1 of car.

Not mixing Hioctane. Recommended octane level for your car is written inside fuel lid.

[crossfirex]

I have been using OEM BKR6RE-11 since 2013 and never got them cleaned till last Saturday and my car has given me almost same fuel consumption since last 7 years except it was little low till 12000km on ODO after that it remained constant
Again got them installed and there cost is 1100 in market for 4. But remember buy same model nothing else as shopkeepers will force u to buy similar model BKR6EY-11
Or some other model
@mohsan87 its some wear indicator which 3s worker was saying is also related to ABS see (4) in manual's pic below. It should be there on whatever brake pads u buy for swift

[uzair3337]

i dont know my car doesnt runs well on normal fuel. i have to use hioctane mixture to improve it.Thinking of using liquimoly injector cleaner with this refuel.

[syedmfarooq]

Its not ABS pin, its the wear indicator. Once the brake pad wears down to a limit, this pin will grind against the disc and create a metallic sound to warn you the brake pads are worn, time for a change.
i installed the last brake pads myself at home and this written material that came with them. It also had the shim plates and the grease sachet. Brake pads were Asuki ordered from PW online store. They have lasted me 30,000 km so far and still have 30-40% life yet. Im eye balling it so i'll keep a new pair handy the moment the wear pin is close to the disc, i'll change them.
