Hi, it’s time to change the tires on my panda 100hp. I would like to get a higher profile from the 45,s as the number of potholes in my area is unreal. I understand that 55 profiles will give me problems with clearance so that leaves 50,s . Has anyone fitted 50 profiles to their 100, if so how did you get on. And what make did you pick. Thanks

General Panda 100hp tires.
I have had 195/50's on my 100HP. When I bought it it had Dunlop's and I put Uniroyal rainsports on. Speedo is 100% Ok on this size so 100Km/h is 100Km/h instead of 95.

I use General Tyre 195/50/15 but found a noticeable improvement in ride comfort. Not huge of course but definitely better than the 45s.
I had old 14" Puntowheels for winters and they needed longer bolts (and offset was too high. They cleared the calipers by the thickness of a creditcard
). The 15" wheels from a newer Punto might be the better choice though. As for the bolts; check how far the bolts stick out on the wheels you now have (probably about 1 cm.) and check how far the thread sticks out on the Puntowheels.

didn't some 100hp come with a 55 profile tyre ? I might be wrong

That's for wintertyres. I used 185/60 14's instead. Same circumference as 195/50 15.

I used pepper pot style steel wheels with 195-50-15 tyres. Like these, Oponeo steels though I did get a better price.
They need a nice centre trim and bright silver paint looks 10x better than van black.
Here's another though probably the same wheel. just be careful with offsets (ET) Too much wheel outboard of the hub will cause a steering wobble. Too much inboard will hit suspension, wheel arch, etc.
These trims will work with studs and half nuts in place of the disc holding bolts. Dome nuts retain the trim. File off the logo and fit Fiat badges.

Mine has 195/50/15 on both sets. 45's seem very scarce here. I recently got Toyo proxes CF2 for it and they seem just great. Also, not very expensive. Only downside i'd say is they are just a bit noisy but nothing too much. Definitely would recommend
