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.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
terrible. these tyres will try to kill you. granted i havent bought them. they where on my hsv when i purchased it. they have done 2000k's, have hardly worn and the grip is terrible. if i try to go around a roundabout in the wet at 20kph (in gear but not accelerating) the whole car will under steer then oversteer.
tyres are coming off next week to be replaced by maxxis zr-1.
DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE ANY CAR HEAVIER THAN A PIECE OF PAPER. THESE TYRES WILL TRY TO KILL YOU.

First off i have a very agressive driving style.
Bought these tyres because they were cheap. They wear quickly and are horrible in the wet, they can be good in the dry after they've had time to warm up. I bought some Dunlop SP Sport Maxx to replace them and now i just use the maxxis on the rears for fun.
