They're from Mk2 Punto, 165/70/14
Would they fit good on Mk1 and what do you think about their condition?

Thank you guys.

Forza Turin!
 
How much are they per mm when you compare them to new ones? Often there is very little difference per mm. The other thing is that you do not know if they have been damaged in any way. Are you buying tyres and rims together? How old are they? They could be old look at 4 digit date stamp on the side, if for example it shows 4010, they were made in the 40 week of 2010.

Don't have any more info at the moment, will check them tomorrow. Yeah, buying tyres and rims together. Will pay attention on date stamp. All together 100€.

Thank you for fast respond.
 
They are the wrong size for the Mk1 Punto, don't buy this size.

For the Mk2 the standard wheel size became 14" not 13", and also the mechanical gearing was changed to allow for the much taller tyres.

14" tyres on the Mk1 were 165 width but much lower profile to give the same diameter as the more standard 155/70 x 13.

I stay keep to standard sizes... the prices are good too so you can buy new.

Bought New Sava Eskimo S3 Plus tyres. 165/65/14 - those are supported as I saw in must have Fiat Punto book. :D

170€ with installation and balancing. Car feels great to drive now, so smooth and stable.
