Can someone confirm if the correct tyre for a Swift Challenger Sport 524SR of 2012 year is 185/R14C/102Q .

    The Swift website has details of older models and it should be in there. If not try the support section of the Swift Owners Club site.

    The size of 185R14C is correct.  The load/speed rating would probably have been 104/102N (900/850 Kg. 140 kph.) originally, so a 102Q (850 Kg. 160 kph.) is perfectly acceptable.  Using the 10% under load principal for tyres this will give you a maximum axle load of 1530 Kg.  

    I use this specification on my own van with Goodyear Cargo Vector 'All Season' tyres which may be the right way to go up in 'Bonnie Scotland' where the weather is colder for longer.

    Got confirmed the exact tyre spec for my challenger sport 524SR  of 2012 manufacture and its 185/80/R14C/102Q...originals of Hankook make from Swift have now completed their 4th season and this year completed 4000 miles....fine hairline cracking is  just
    visible on the walls so,after laying up for winter storage , it will be a tyre change .
