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.

Vredestein T Trac 2 175-65-14 Ford Ka 1.2 petrol 4,000 miles June 24, 2025

A good but not outstanding tyre. Dry grip very good, comfort over bumps good, wear very good.
Average wet grip, much better than a budget tyre but not as good as more premium brands. Tyre slightly noisy on rougher surfaces.
Overall an acceptable mid-range tyre, whether I would buy again would depend on the price they were on offer for. It is tempting to spend slightly more and get better wet grip performance.
