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.

Pirelli CINTURATO P6 195-55-15 Fiat Barchetta 15,000 miles July 16, 2026

First of all - car is top-less and it is driven as such. In summer and in hot & clear weather only, no snow, no rain and only few thousand kilometers per year, but every drive is spirited, preferably on the twisty backroads, never on the track.

These tires were already mounted on the car when I got it (all 4). They were 5 years old at the time, with visible small cracks on the sidewalls. As such they did not inspire confidence. Once I got confortable with the car these tires surprised me every single drive, boy was I wrong initially. Great feedback, great grip.
Few years in I had another driver came to me to ask about tires as he was having hard time following me on the twisties (with speeds up to about 100km/h) with his Renault Clio RS mk3. He was shocked when he saw Cinturato P6 "eco" label on the tires. Even more so when I told him how old the tires were at the time.

After additional few years I changed rear set for slightly used, newer Goodyear Efficientgrip as the oportunity presented itself.
Car is FWD but in the 10 summer seasons I can not recall even 1 situation where understeer would accure. I did have 2 situations where rear end got loose and got me sideways big time - both times after changing rear set for Goodyears.
Now keep in mind that Pirellis on the front have production date from 2011 and were on the car all the time up to 2026. Cracks are still there but front is as stable and as precise as it ever was. Can not say the same for the rear Goodyears as one exploded this summer (inner sidewall let go, no damage on the tread). Because of this accident I will be replacing all 4 tires with new.
In this instance P6s were far superior to Goodyears.

Knowing these Pirellis are 15 years old and still offer the grip they do still surprises me every drive. I can not say (yet) if this is because of the tire, the car or the combination of both but I doubt I will be able to get another tire to last this long and not degrade. Since P6 Cinturatos are not available new, I will have to buy other tire. Still undecided what to get.

Can not comment on the road noise from tires, but you defenitely can not hear them over the wind noise and engine singing.
Can not comment on grip in wet or cold conditions as car was only driven in sunny summer days.
Can not comment on comfort as car is unconfortable to start with (hard ride), but no shaking and no balancing problems.

Nokian WR D4 195-55-15-V Fiat Barchetta 12,000 miles March 18, 2017
I am about to finish my second winter. 20k km completed. Much better than previous model but not perfect. Mich cheapee than the continental winter contact so shoild be expected.
The only issue for me is the wet grip. Snow grip though is excellent as is stopping in dry and snowy conditions.

Nokian WRG2 195-50-16-V Fiat Barchetta 20,000 miles January 4, 2014
With no clue about winter tyres but a legal requirement to fit htem in the winter here in the Czech Republic, I purchased these tyre rather blind. They were recommended to me by the tyre company and boy he was right.
Having had to drive the car in a snowy winter on summer tyres for 2 weeks whilst I found a a reliable cheap fitter, I realised very quickly how much more control all the other cars had over mine so getting my winter tyres was an exciting moment.
The tyres have been simply great. They provide assured grip in snowy conditions and amazing ability to manoeuvre safely at speed. Very assured during directional changes, you can drive with assured confidence.
In wet and slushy conditions, they are less comfortable and prone to aquaplaning in testing conditions and in standing water in ruts which is a real problem here.
Grip in dry conditions is good and positive. The tyres feel softer in the dry which affects the handling but the grip is vice like.
In Icy conditions, they have been very good and give you confidence to tackle any road.
The winter last year (2012-13) was particularly harsh and the Nokians did the job with gusto. They have faded somewhat this year, last winter probably took its toll and this is their 5th winter on my car. They have ample grip but they don't feel as grippy as they were before last winter. The wear has been excellent. I had them checked 2 months ago and was told they will atleast do another winter which is great for the pocket.
All in all I cannot complain about the tyre, they may not be the best but they are very good and cost efficient.
The only thing that is a bug bear is the handling in wet/slushy conditions which is a shame. The car just felt nervous all the time and didn't fill you with confidence.
On a positive note, it was a joy to see people enjoying the site of my little convertible driving up a very steep incline to a car park that 4x4's had failed to achieve on a recent visit to the UK. That is the winter tyre for you!
I would recommend this tyre to anyone whom like me wants a good all round tyre with great grip and a favorable price tag. Beware of expensive imitations to this great tyre.
