Best Tyres for the Fiat Punto 2001 1,2i

As far as your daily commuter these tires are nice but if you live in an area that has bad road conditions (potholes, light sand/gravel or any kind of bad asphalt really) these tires are the worst. Its been 20K kilometers since i've bought these brand new in mid 2020 and now its mid 2022. The wear indicator has gone down from 8th level to the 4th level. Up until that point the tyres were absolutely hooking to the ground, nearly no slip whilst charging hard corners at 90kmh, 0 slip whilst braking, absolutely awesome. However as the tire wore out (QUITE QUICKLY i might add, there are literal parts of the tread that has visibly and deeply shaved off in multiple locations and these tires are veeeery weak against any kind of hard roads.) i can only go hard up about 80kmh, sometimes the tires just randomly understeer and they're quite unpredictable. One of the fav things i like about this tire is that it has never even ONCE oversteered, not a single time. Wet driving in heavy rain almost felt like the same in dry, excellent rainy weather performance (including braking) but as i have mentioned if the area you live in has bad surface conditions AND if you like to drive hard, consider the very poor life expectancy of these tires. i was planning on switching these ones to the rear but im afraid the unpredictable behavior of the tire makes it unsafe for the way i drive my car. However, very quiet and light tires! If you dont drive hard and the road surface is acceptable, these tires are the literal best for their price.

Only had these tyres for a few days, so my scores are based purely on first impressions.
So far I've driven on both dry and wet roads and the tyres feel great, much better than I'd expect from any old cheap budget tyre and anything that can make a Punto feel good must be decent right?
Sidewall ratings: Treadwear 300 (a decent mid-score) suggests a tyre that's not so soft that the blocks move about too much, generate heat and wear rapidly, and not so hard that they don't move enough to grip as surfaces and loads change.
Traction A: (2nd. highest band) for good acceleration and braking in the wet.
Sure there's a slight twitch when crossing those shiny white lines but only a truly exceptional tyre would avoid that.
Temperature A: good for sustained high speed motoring.

Noise levels are well controlled and I'm very impressed with the overall performance, very hard to beat at the price.
As for the appearance, they're black rings of rubber with a tread pattern and embossed writing on the sides.....they look like tyres!

I've had expensive tyres before that were excellent when new but despite still being perfectly legal were shockingly bad at around 50% worn, so it remains to be seen how well these Neutons last but I'm optimistic and either way, they represent superb value for money.

So based on first impressions, side wall ratings and price, I can highly recommend these Neuton Solace NT3000 tyres.

Excellent overall tyres, amazing low temperatures they always are despite hundred of consecutive kms. Definitely recommended.

I bought these tyres a month ago. The were among the cheapest, but I saw they performed quite good in one of the big german tests (ADAC?). I was well surprised, they are silent and have a very good grip on dry and wet. I cannot judge the wear yet, but consumption-wise, I would say average. The Pirelli I had before were much more fuel-frugal, but noisy with poor grip. I feel safe on these. And for excellent price.
