| ![]() Hi All, How are the Pirelli P6000 - 205/55/R15. I know a dealer who has got some stock of these tyres and they are of Nov 2011. He is giving me a decent price, I tried to search about these tyres on the forum - havent read anything bad about them, still any reviews would be welcome. My rear right AA busted at 140 KM/H however due to Punto's amazing balance and handling the car did not sway and was always in control. I have decided to throw away the AAs now . |

| ![]() Hi Team, I have a 2010 Punto emotion done about 32K.The tyres have about 5-6K life left in them. However, I would like to change my tyres soon. My current tyres are 165 / 80 R14. I am looking to go for 195/60 R15(tyre size of the earlier emotion pack). Not quite sure if there has been a suggestion for the following requirements -80% of the mileage done in my car is on highways. I am a fairly sedate drive. Would be cruising mostly between 80-100 KMPH most of the time. -Want tyres which offer good amount of grip in most of the conditions. -I can tolerate some amount of road noise. But not in the league of current JK Tornados. -Last for about 40K (I am not sure if I am asking for too much here) Some additional queries -I am on a little tight budget. In case I am not able to buy the alloys. I am looking to purchase 15inch steel wheels and fit them with linea wheel caps. What do you guys think about the idea? -Will TASS sell me 15 inch steel wheels from Linea? -Any suggestions for buying tyre and alloys at Bangalore? Thank you all in advance. |

| ![]() I have another query apart from the above. Would changing over to 185/70 R14 from the current 165/80 R 14 affect the GC. I feel there might be a reduction in the GC. |

| ![]() Hello Flycatcher, My needs when I was looking for a rubber change my requirements were pretty much the same as yours. I have Yokohama dBV550 on. They are performing amazingly well. very less road noise, good grip in dry and wet conditions. For the spare, I have Yoko A drive. I bought the rubber from Millivision, lalbagh road. Read elsewhere on the forum that MRF ZLO is also very good. please check with our tyre expert Nikhil. |

If you go will not go for alloys very soon, stick to 14inchers and change to alloys for your next tyre change. I would suggest 15 inch steel wheels only if it is temporary and only because of your budget.. Till you change to alloys, why don't you try some used steel wheels? There will be lots of those available in tyre shops from people who have changed to alloys. You'll get it for a very good price Summary: 14inchers if you'll not change to alloys very soon 15inch steel wheels if you'll change to alloys soon There will be a reduction of 2.5mm to be precise | |

![]() The pirellis performed beautifully in the wet. and also later realised that the road noise was very low, compared to michelin xm(1?) earlier. Pirelli seems quite under "reviewed" here at t-bhp. | |

| ![]() Hi All, Has anybody got Linea or Punto Alloys from Kava Automobiles Mumbai ? How was the experience? My friend planing to buy, he has Punto, but heard from some people that they might ship bent alloys or used ones. Has anyone experienced this? He stays in Bangalore. He is not able to decide. Please help. |

| ![]() Guys, I have purchased a set of League alloys in 98 pcd and 14 inches. Now, I have shortlisted the following tyres (185/70/R14) based on local availability. Kindly suggest out of the following which would be best in terms of grip (dry and wet). Noise and ride quality are important but not as much as grip. Ride comfort should be anyway good with 14inchers 1. MRF ZLO (Rs 3900 per tyre) 2. Michellin XM2 (Rs 4800) 3. Yokohama A Drives (Rs 4000) |

BANNED | ![]() My PUNTO 90HP has done 36300 KMs. Goodyear stock tyres available were replaced as one of the front tyre is found to have a deep crack in its side wall. After a long discussion with son and better half, we finalised on Yokohama 195/60 R15 stock size Ultimate Silence tyres. During the return journey from my native, I observed a fuel efficiency of 23 KMs per litre, earlier in Good year it was hovering around 18 to 19 KMs per litre. (based on the average readings available from the car itself) The tryes are so smooth, I am able to hear only the engine noise, no other tyre noise... earlier it was too much of tyre noise.... Very happy with the new tyres. Buttons are available in the old tyres it can do another 10 to 20K KMs... , getting in touch with old tyre vendor to sell of the Goodyear stock tyres... |

| ![]() Heres my conundrum. Well, not really. I have two bent alloys from my 2009 Grande Punto Emotion Pack. I put new Yokohama dBs recently (about 6 months back). When I visited my tyre vendor yesterday to repair a puncture, I realised I had bent front alloys. Don't ask me how that happened (blame it on my driving or blame it on the Bangalore roads). Now I have two options. Either go for OE alloys and replace the 2 OR go for a set of 4 shiny (or matt-ey) new alloys given my lack of trust on FIAT OE alloys (Afterall, how rash can one be to bend two wheels?). The trouble is the epic FIAT logic of 98 PCD and even tyre nuts of a different size than usual (that is a completely different story. Guys, the OE wrench was screwed, I was stranded, got a wrench from Friend's Ritz... you get the drift) I have minimal options of a new alloy. Can anyone pray tell me a good place to get 98 PCD alloys in Bangalore and also what brand/s should I go for and how much it should cost? Thanks in advance, |
