Terrible wet tyre.
Don't ever push these hard, they'll oversteer then try to run themselves off the rim.
Couldn't wait to get rid of them

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.
The complete record, including discontinued tyres and tyres with too few reviews to rank, ordered by the amount of evidence. A further 36 tyres have a single review each; they count toward the totals but are not listed.

The sizes fitted in the reviews on this page. Each one links to the top rated tyres in that size, across every car.
These trims and body styles have pages of their own. Their reviews are already counted in the rankings above.
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Review your tyres and help the next owner choose. It takes about five minutes, and every review on this page came from a driver who took them.
Every rating on this page was submitted by a driver through the review form on this site, naming the car, the tyre, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new ones arrive.
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, so you can check a car-specific ranking against the wider evidence.
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
