Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Fiat Punto?
Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.
Are budget tyres OK on a Fiat Punto?
On lower-power, lighter cars like the Fiat Punto, mid-range tyres often deliver the best value — premium isn't always justified. Avoid the cheapest unbranded options; check the EU tyre label before fitting.
What does the chassis code 188 mean for tyre choice?
The 188 chassis code identifies this specific generation of the Fiat Punto. Tyre fitment guides and parts catalogues use the chassis code to match correct sizes, load indices and speed ratings — useful when ordering online.
What wet grip should I look for on the Fiat Punto?
For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
What should Fiat Punto drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
