WARNING
• Your vehicle is equipped with tyres
which are all the same type and
size. This is important to ensure
proper steering and handling of the
vehicle. Never mix tyres of different
size or type on the four wheels of
your vehicle. The size and type of
tyres used should be only those
approved by MARUTI SUZUKI as
standard or optional equipment for
your vehicle.
• Replacing the wheels and tyres
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain combinations of aftermarket
wheels and tyres can significantly
change the steering and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
• Therefore, use only those wheel
and tyre combinations approved by
MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or
optional equipment for your vehi-
cle.
CAUTION
Replacing the original tyres with
tyres of a different size may result in
false speedometer or odometer read-
ings. Check with your
SUZUKI dealer before purchasing
replacement tyres that differ in size
from the original tyres.

Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)
In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl rubber
is used for lining the inside of the tubeless
tyre. This layer is to prevent air loss and
fulfilling the purpose of tube. The air pres-
sure is maintained by the sealing between
tyre bead and wheel rim. Tubeless tyres
are having advantage of slow air loss and
preventing sudden deflation while driving.
Care and maintenance tips for tubeless
tyres
1) Always maintain receommended infla-
tion pressure. Driving continously at low
inflation pressure can lead to tyre dam-
age.
2) In case any leakage is found, check for
any nail penetration/valve core dam-
age or rim bent. Damaged wheel must
not be used.
3) In case tyre has run at low pressue, it
must be inspected for any defect.
4) Whenver new tyre is fitted, also replace
the valve.
5) If continous high speed driving is
required, increase tyres pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pres-
sure.
6) Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Tread
wear indicator). The tyre is recom-
mended to be
