Also you all can discuss the technical aspects, ASS part, everything.

Re: Grande Punto Thread

I was thinking of not making such a vehicle specific thread. But since this already exists, why not use it to discuss our Puntos? I invite all Punters to join in & share experiences, pics, problems & solutions in this one-stop-for-all Punto thread.

Till now, I recollect the following Punters in TAI. If i have left someone, please add your name to the list-

raj_5004 = Punto 90 hp = Mumbai
dharmesh = Punto 75 hp = Mumbai
DriveNinn = Punto 90 hp (coming soon) = Mumbai
vroom = Punto 75 hp = Mumbai
Grandeur = Punto 75 hp = Mumbai
KinghtRiderGT500 = Punto 75 hp = Mumbai
JazzSelect = Punto 75 hp = Pune
Thetraveller = Punto 75 hp = Pune
jayadev = Punto 90 hp = Kerela
SOOZ_Punto = Punto 75 hp = Bangalore

Even in a small community like TAI, we have so many Punto owners, despite the car's low sales. This shows only car enthusiasts buy Puntos!

Re: Grande Punto Thread

I like the thread! and it can be a great source of information for all current and prospective owners. I for one have not got the car yet. Eagerly waiting for it.

Let me start with my first query:
Am looking to upgrade OEM shoes with new 185/70 R14 ones. Am looking for comfort and durability. (Don't have enough Vit M to buy Punto Alloys and shod them with 195/60 R15)
Any suggestions on good brands to choose from?
I have shortlisted below in that order:

Conti CPC2
Bridgestone Turanza ER 60
Apollo Acceler

@Raj - I have heard Michelins have softer sidewall. I have not read or heard about Yokohama that much. Any particular tyre you can suggest from Yokohama (A-drive or C-drive).

I think stock would be JK or Goodyear GT3 165/80 R14, so best upgrade would be 185/70 R 14 (if not going for 15 inchers)
