Tata Punch X Mahindra Bolero Neo | Wheels & Tyres
Wheels also play a very important role in determining off-road capabilities. Both the Punch and the Bolero Neo get 15-inch wheels, but the sidewall of the Bolero’s tires is 5mm thicker. This makes it more absorbent to undulations on the (off) roads.
