Hi, I am thinking of the same for mine. Got a 2wd Dynamic but it has the awful 155/80 R 13 wheels and tyres which look terrible and in my opinion give no grip at all. They are barely wider than supermarket trolley castors, the contact patch is pathetic.
In the dry they lose grip fast, in the snow even worse.
I think being 80 profile they make the ride too 'bouncy' - I know it's softly sprung to start with but some kind of roadholding would be nice.
I know you can go up to 14 inch, 6 by 14 or even 15 inch using 185/60 by 14 or 195/50 by 15 tyres and keep the same rolling ratio so your speedo isn't out.
I am researching alloys - Fiat want £360 for official 14 inch ones that come on the Eleganza if you walk into the showroom and buy them as accessories!
Then there is cost of tyres.
Not sure if anyone knows if alloys off the Mk11 Punto will fit the new Panda?
There are loads on Ebay, they should be the same stud diameter then no problems.
Are you on the standard tyres and rims, how do you find them?
