Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Bridgestone Potenza RE001 215-45-17- Acura RSX S Type 10,000 miles January 22, 2013
Unexpectedly strong aquaplaning. You have to be ready for it. Over time tyre becomes harder. Excellent grip and response on dry!

THIS is for those of you who are looking for a REAL genuine feedback of the NS2. There is just too many different feedback from many diversity of the general population.

Full Braking from 100 to 0km/h: Poor (some screaming + ABS triggered)

Goodride SP06 205-55-16-H Acura RSX S Type 500 miles December 17, 2011
Very good product for the money. Through a miscommunication, these were put on my car when I was expecting Capitol Sport series tires to be installed. I was nervous about it because I hadn't researched them at all. They've been on for over a month now, and no problems at all. They're fairly quiet, good grip in wet and dry, and ride smoothly, although I live in a warm weather climate with good roads. Can't beat the price, and the quality seems much better than standard Chinese products.
