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.

DEATH TRAP TYRES!

I recently bought a Jaguar XK that had a set of these on. No complaints for the first few weeks, only driving in the dry… Then came the wet. One of the worst experiences of my life. 20% throttle with no standing water and a Corsa behind me and the back end snaping all over the place. Traction control doing its best but losing the battle. I was not driving even remotely quick.

Will be getting it booked in for a change next week.

DO NOT PUT THESE TYRES ON ANYTHING, THEY SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL!

I check tyre pressures weekly but both front tyres began to leak in many places on the sidewall - tyres on car when purchased and gone back to premium brands.
