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.

What Ford Fiesta mk7 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
A cheap tyre , for a reason. Super short life. Starting cracking all over tread pattern after a year. Pot holes damage this tyre very easily. Now done 6000 miles. They are ready to go in the bin. But cheap, buy twice. Buy a quality tyre like Continental. Superior in every single way.
Using this tyre on my wife's Ford Fiesta Sport. I have GY Asy5 on my own car. The Asy5 is much better I need to state. Even if the numbers on the reviews showing quite similar results. The GT Radial is a fair option, good value for the money, solid mid-range tyre. It feels a bit hard to me, fast cornering makes understeer and comfort is also behind the Asy5. But not bad overall, better than Nankang AS2+ I had before.
I am in the middle of my second season with these tires, so I have my first conclusions. The tires, despite their name, are not sports tires. They are definitely soft and comfortable tires, guaranteeing very high safety on wet surfaces and sufficient on dry surfaces. In my case, tire wear is 1 mm per 8 thousand km traveled. Depending on the mileage, it is worth answering whether this is a lot or little for us. Compared to my previous Firestone Roadhawk, comfort and noise have significantly improved at the expense of wear and handling.
Updated review from 2 years ago. After driving 4 winter seasons the tires are still 6mm, the wear is satisfactory. The grip on snow is still amazing. However, the behavior on dry and wet has deteriorated a lot, dynamic starting is very dangerous. I am thinking about changing tires for a more moderate climate. I recommend only for snowy winters or for calm drivers.
If you compare the UC6s with budget chinese tyres they are parseks ahead. But they cost you a small fortune... no need to mention improved grip, wet handling etc...
Exellent tyre, put it on both my fiesta's mk9 and mk7. It was magnigicent. Vaule for money. I was worrying about nothing.
Bought 4 tyres in 2021, 50,000+ miles and 3 years laters they're only just getting near the legal limit (front) and passed all MOTs. They're a bit noisy but that's my only complaint.
Acceptable dry and wet grip under normal driving conditions. It floats on the highway because it has soft sidewalls and high tread. Everything changes in typical winter conditions. Better on snow than premium tires, I'm impressed. It is perfect for snowy winters and mountains, but for someone who mainly drives on highways or for rainy winters, you should look for other tires.
Very safety tyre until to last season, good handling, but very loud, worse than my winter Dębica Frigo 2. After 35 000 km and 5 seasons, still 4mm tread but they start cracking and need replacement. I would buy again as tyre to small car.
