Need to know what options are available in good soft tyres for Swift in stock specs. Preferably in Karachi.

Yokohama DBs are available but have heard that they are not only hard but not very durable also. Plus got quoted for PKR 9600/- per tyre. Any other good option such as Michelin or Continental would be great.

@devilslayer how much did you got them for? are they soft?

devilslayer (devilslayer) 2016-11-01 11:32:29 +0500 #4

6200 a tyre and yes they are very soft as soft tyres were my first and foremost requirement.

what is the exact model of the tyre? I have used Solus before but the wet grip of them was not very good. What's your take on that.

so I finally went with the Pirelli P1 Centurato (if I m spelling them correctly) in 185/65/R15. It cost me 7k per tyre. There has been a considerable improvement in the drive. It is much smoother and less noisy now. But Tauranzas has better grip I must add.

We've been through multiple replacements to dunlop eco201 the reasons are simple:

It's one of the softest tires out there currently in the market and thus less durable but 40k km's of comfort is better than 60k's of discomfort with something like a dunlop lm702
It's a summer tire so it is meant for our temps but comes with 4 longitudinal grooves even in 185 configuration, I can bet you won't find a lot of tires in this size in the market with 4 longitudinal grooves which is important for hydroplaning
It's a directional asymytric tire this configuration is considered best of both world's in terms of handling characteristics and discharging water
Finally the only reason we keep buying them again and again and our family friends do too is because we have realized this to be the best value for money tire in terms of handling & comfort. Your size would still cost in between 5.5-6.5k in my view.

Try GT-Radial, i am using it for last one year in my Suzuki Swift and are happy with it. I bought it at a cost of PKR 27,000 (Qty 04).
