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.

Purchased these tyres instead of Bridgestone potenza S001 never again these have been the worst tyres I have ever bought in 25 years only lasted 4000 miles not even a year with normal driving conditions as a family car !! Avoid unless you have money to waste its put me off buying anymore tyres from Bridgestone

Rotalla RU01 S Pace 255-35-18- BMW 330CD 5,000 miles November 4, 2022
Whoever loves themselves and their passengers will not fit this tyre. In the dry, OK, but as soon as the roads get wet, either drive really carefully or just stay home. I bought a set of wheels with these tyres preinstalled and figured they would be okay for a month until I have to fit the winter tyres. Boy was I wrong. Extremely unpredictable in the wet, every turn was a journey by itself. All in all, do not recommend, spend a bit more money on a better tyre.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 225-45-17- BMW 330CD 10,000 miles May 16, 2022
Grip levels are fine. The biggest downside is tread life - I have put on about 15 000 kms on them, and they are close to done. Mind you the driving style is pretty normal, with 70% on highways.

Uniroyal RainSport 3 235-40-19- BMW 330CD 18,000 miles February 25, 2020
I’m having the 4th set now , I did buy the first one after having previously continental conti sport contact 5 ( 4 years ago ) I’m driving often to Germany ( no speed limit motorway ) about the tyres the wet grip it’s just great , cornering it’s also very good . What I’ve notice in very hot days under heavy breaking ( have massive breakes upgrade on my car ) the grip start loosing pretty easy , before the breakes upgrade that didn’t use to happen . On snow they are rubbish ( and it’s just normal keeping in mind that I have a rwd car and they are summer tyres ) On the front they last for about 18k miles and on the rear for about 13k-15k miles . I will definitely recommend them . I’ve seen some feedbacks here 😂 they aren’t competition tyres ore track tyres . They are normal tyres for normal use . If you have a car over 200bhp and think that this or any other tyres will keep you glued on tarmac that’s not gonna happen( only tyres that could help will be Michelin sport cup 2 , but if you afford them you won’t let negative feedback 😂) . Bear in mind that neither the F1 cars can’t break physics laws, and specially a normal car won’t go further .

Bridgestone Potenza S001 255-35-18-W BMW 330CD 15,000 miles February 14, 2017
Very grippy tires both in dry and wet. Roadnoise is high as well and lasted about 25 000 km. Overall good performance tires with too much noise and on uneven roads tends to affect steering wheel too much.

Radar Dimax R8 225-45-17- BMW 330CD 3,000 miles February 1, 2016
In dry conditions it's ok. But it wet... If you drive like a granny, it's ok. But if you push accelarator pedal harder, the DSC indicator starts blinking.. If you drive in corner harder, the car stability system starts to working too. Without stability systems on, I fear to drive with these tyres in wet conditions. There's much rain in Lithuania, so it was a not very cheap, but bad choise for me..
