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.

Toyo Observe EWS1 225-45-17 Fiat Tipo 1,000 miles August 16, 2026

They perform very well in the water and are comfortable on dry land; they do a great job. I would buy this model again if I found it on sale.

Good in both dry and wet conditions; ideal for cold mountain regions.

Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 225-40-18 Fiat Tipo 9,000 miles January 4, 2026
The Maxxis WP6 is good enough for normal Dutch winter driving. Straight-line aquaplaning resistance is good and overall grip levels are acceptable.

However, on dry and wet roads the tyres lack feedback when cornering. Steering feel is vague and the car feels slightly floaty, especially in faster bends and motorway exits.

Snow traction is good and steering on snow is acceptable. On icy roads the rear of the car felt unstable, with a subtle side-to-side movement.

Previously driven on Firestone Winterhawk 2, Michelin Alpin A4 and Dunlop Winter Sport 5. Of those, the Dunlop offered the best overall balance and driver confidence.

Overall I’m satisfied, but I would not buy them again. Next time I would try the Kumho WP52 or return to a premium brand.

Continental EcoContact 6 225-45-17- Fiat Tipo 20,000 miles April 6, 2023
Factory fitted by the manufacturer. The most disappointing aspect is certainly the road holding on wet asphalt: the car tends to understeer heavily even at low speed, for example when traveling around a roundabout. Consumption is average as is noise. I've never had emergency situations in the dry, so I can't evaluate the performance in these situations: the sensation is of just enough precision when cornering.

Nokian WetProof 225-45-17- Fiat Tipo 10,000 miles December 6, 2022
I am reading comments badmouthing these tyres and I find it disrespectful to a nokian brand, one of the best that works for bridgestone creating some tyres for them even if this is not known and that has been the first brand in history to create the first winter tyre. This tyre has a road grip far superior to the rest, it can be said that its grip is similar to competition tyres and the reason why it grips more than the rest is because they are soft compounds that unlike Michelin, which are usually harder compounds, they sacrifice wear vs. adherence on the asphalt. So it is normal that they last less km than other brands because of the type of compound but they grip much better. The size of the tyre also has an influence, as a 205/55 R16 V tyre is not the same as a 225/45 R17 Y tyre, and driving style also has an influence on wear (if you drive more aggressively and brake more, the tyre wears out first). But wear is also influenced by the type of road you drive on. A road made of concrete or a mountain road, wears the tyres much more than another type of road, also a bad and cracked road is normal to destroy and crack the tyres because it would be the same thing that happens when you hit a broken pavement and the asymmetrical pieces jagged on the pavement in a soft compound tyre can literally tear off pieces of rubber. This same thing on asphalt will cause pieces of rubber to break off the tyre and crack. As you can see there are a lot of influences. This tyre for the price/performance is the best.

Uniroyal RainSport 5 205-55-16- Fiat Tipo 37 miles September 24, 2022
Fiat Tipo 2018. Mileage 25,000 km/year. I use it 80% on the highway. On dry roads, I did not notice any difference compared to other branded manufacturers. Excellent on water. Excellent value for money. Noise level is pleasant. I cannot evaluate rubber wear in a negative direction, because I change it sooner than wear.

Kleber Quadraxer 2 225-45-17- Fiat Tipo 7,000 miles October 4, 2021
This is my first all seasons tyres set so I can't compare with any previously all seasons. I am definitely satisfied with the choice made with Quadraxer2. I chose all seasons tires mainly for the low annual mileage which does not justify 2 sets of tires. I find the behavior of the tires very honest and safe on all terrains and weather conditions but never driven on ice. I find that they have a good quality / price ratio

Toyo NanoEnergy 3 165-70-13-T Fiat Tipo 7,000 miles April 5, 2020
Good grip on dry, but on the wet i had an overall bad experience. Due to an episode where while soft braking on a paved road on a rainy day these tyres decided not to participate in braking and ended up going on a wall, i decided to change them, despite having almost all of thread left. Wear is not an issue, in 7000km i had them, they only lost way less than 1mm. Very comfortable on city roads and on highway. Definitely not buying again this model, i've used other toyo tyres that are waaay better than these.

Vredestein T Trac 185-60-14- Fiat Tipo 15,000 miles May 11, 2017
Had 4 of these fitted and they were great when new. Confort was goos and the wet handling was just great with a fabulous aquaplaning resistance. The dry performance is not that impressive unfortunately. Not that it is a bad tyre in the dry-it's a good one. But not as impressive as in the wet.
They tend to wear fast, at least with my driving style and do loose the confort and grip as the time passes by. But it's a predisctable honest tyre. After buying other set's of tyres i just come to the conclusion that iwas a good tyre for the money but as been surpassed by evolution and now a days are more efficient tyres out there.
