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.

Antares GRIP 20 195-65-15- Kia Motors Cerato Forte 26,000 miles November 30, 2023
I have driving on those tyres for 7 years now (only at winter time). Covered 42000km on one set. Still got about 6mm tread left. Changed to anteres grip wp (2023 model) for experiment. Handles well on all surfaces. Better performance on snow. Average on ice. One of the best budget tyres. Really calm driving.
Different situation on seat ibiza fwd 1.9tdi vs 236hp car. Handles well, but spins a lot. Covered about 25000km in two winters (worn out to 4mm). Worns out very quickly if driving at summer time.

Continental ContiMaxContact MC6 215-45-17- Kia Motors Cerato Forte 15,000 miles July 10, 2023
WOW! Have used Michelin Sport 4 on my cars for some years. Last year I decided to economise on my cheap daily run around Kia Cerato and with trepidation purchased a set of MC6 tyres on a special deal from Bob Jane T Mart for $650 Australian. I cannot believe how close they are to the Sport 4’s in all conditions. At the price point I cannot fault them. The wear after 15Ks appears similar. Will definitely buy again.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225-45-17- Kia Motors Cerato Forte 19,000 miles February 23, 2023
I purchased in Jan 2020 a replacement primary 4. Pilots sports 4 is expensive now left meat 20 % about 10,000km need to replace. overall I am happy with the performance. the drawback is the wear and tear and short Life spent. I use pilot sports 3 which has longer life spend I used 3 years in pilot sports 3. In another month I going to replace the type I will like to purchase a primary 4 plus which installs in another's car in Elantra overall primary 4 plus is great tires and is quiet, or get pilot sports 5. But after another two weeks, my new board baby came into this world. I will install primary 4 for comfort.

Michelin Primacy 4 225-45-17- Kia Motors Cerato Forte 18,000 miles February 23, 2023
They are expensive, but at least they last for a very long mileage. They offer good grip in any road condition,For most aspects a great tyre: very good comfort, silent, great cornering, very good wearing. My problem with them is the vague steering on the motorway, which also makes them more sensitive for crosswinds. Used this primary 4 almost 2 year. Strongly recommend purchase primary 4 plus is much better than primary 4. Just installed three months primary 4 plus in my other family car Elantra .so far so good

Toyo NanoEnergy 3 205-55-16- Kia Motors Cerato Forte 30,000 miles December 2, 2021
Wearing rate is impressive even without rotation. Handling fair. I drive in tropical conditions roads which is hard and hot averaging 40 to 50 degrees Celsius road temperature therefore comfort and noise are poor in these conditions

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 205-55-16- Kia Motors Cerato Forte 5,000 miles June 11, 2021
hi, im driver from Singapore, been driving with my 4 new pcs of Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 for 8000km in city drive, tyre wear is fantastic thanks to the mileage plus technology. The car comfort level is exceptional with relatively quiet, . The dry/wet grip is amazing as well. Aquaplaning is acceptable as i not a aggressive driving when raining.Cornering is very firm and steady as per advertised. this tyre definitely meet all my expectations. highly recommended.

Bridgestone Adrenalin RE003 215-45-17- Kia Motors Cerato Forte 28,000 miles April 20, 2017
Don't let the tread wear count fool you.
Was on conti's stock tire, wore off less than 12000 miles and thought of looking for a set of tires with more grip.

Did not regret at all as the RE003 holds my driving style for a staggering 28000 miles!
Dry grip is way way better than previous set, handling is superb thanks to the hard sidewalls, gave me the confidence to hit the corners and push it to the limits.

At wet the car is still capable of sticking onto the road fine, even on high speed on motorway. Though as the tread goes lower than 30% I can start feeling the wet grip falls short.

With these kind of grip, I can't complaint on the noise it makes. Bearable, and it's actually almost the same as my previous set of tyres. If I'm not looking to tryout other tyres, this is the definite choice to go again.

*Btw, the hard side wall does help a lot on defending the car from potholes from Malaysia road. Hit a few potholes hard, but the tyre still remains in good shape.
