Apollo Amazer XL 215/75 R15 100S

Tyre maintenance begins with periodic check and driving style. Always maintain optimal tyre pressure as suggested by the vehicle maker, check tyres occasionally for wear, inspect tyre for cracks, cuts and bulge, if any, especially at the tyre sidewall, refrain from abrupt acceleration and sudden braking (this takes away tyre life), never overload the vehicle with excess baggage/passengers, and ensure periodic tyre rotation of tyres.

Kumho is not an established tyre brand in India, and may have after sales service issues. Hence, it is best to opt for a reliable tyre brand with vast service network. Here, you can choose CEAT, or any other tyre brand like MRF, Apollo or Bridgestone.

For Maruti Swift Dzire VDi, you can pick tyre patterns among Apollo Amazer 4G Life, Yokohama Earth-1 E400 and Goodyear Assurance Triplemax.

For Datsun Go Plus, you can choose tyre patterns between Apollo Amazer 4G Life, Yokohama Earth-1 E400 and Bridgestone B290.

The spare tyre or stepney tyre is meant for spare use, i.e. during emergency situations like tyre burst/puncture, etc., and that too for a very limited number of kilometres. Hence it cannot be used a regular tyre. Further, the life cycle of a vehicle tyre under Indian weather conditions, irrespective of usage, is between 5 years to 8 years at the max. Hence, for safe driving always opt for regular tyre for daily driving and not the spare one.
