My Punto comes with GK tyres (Torando). Are they good?. I heard Michelins and Bridgestones are the best.

Yes, Michelins are softer tyres but they are quiet & offer good grip.
Yokohama is the next best choice after Michelins. It is surprising that you have not heard about them. I would suggest C drives. My Scorpio & Innova has Yokohamas. After my Punto's stock tyres wear out, I will go for Yokohamas or Michelin only.
The above two are much better than JK, Goodyear, etc.

Thanks Raj, I will check out the prices and keep the suggestion in mind ![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

One question to all:
Is it good to get the 3M Paint sealant done? I have a 3M shop next to my colony, and they have this option. I was wondering whether it is any good for a new car. I am not planning to get Teflon coating done right away.

One update:
Changed my OEM tyres JK Tornado 165/80 R14 with Michelin Energy XM1+ 185/70 R14
Place: Darshan Tyres, FC Road, Pune
Price: 4400 per tyre
Take back: 2300 per tyre
Changed all 5
Discount: Got a trolley bag
Darshan tyres are very good and efficient in their work. Everything was completed quickly
Changes: Road noise is reduced a lot. Handling is upped by a notch. Even breaking is affected in a positive way. The only negative I have heard Michelins is their softer sidewall and that they are susceptible to sidewall puncture. But hoping I can pull them through with out any problem

Well, to tell you frankly, I just could not wait. I booked the car in Mid-Nov but have decided about it since July. It was a tough thing to wait for the new year. I am satisfied with interior colors and what is being offered right now, so took the plunge

Sorry guys but I feel this thread is a bit misleading & becoming more like a thread with info on people here who own the Punto. Would be better if this thread is moved to Members Lounge
