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.

Durun A One 225-45-17- Mazda 6 Sport 2.3L 9,000 miles May 30, 2023
Excellent...good value for your money!..wet and dry conditions surprised me how good they performed. Even on bumpy gravel roads they performed well.

Accelera Alpha 225-45-18- Mazda 6 Sport 2.3L 1,000 miles September 18, 2018
Recently bought a Mazda 6 2.5 sport. the handling on the Mazda is supposed to be brilliant but have noticed the car has these Accelera tyres on it.
the car is terrible in the dry especially in the corners. Hit a little hole etc then the car is thrown towards the hedge even at low speed. In the wet it is like ice skating. These have to be budget tyres? Getting some P zero's put on soon. In my opinion. AVOID!

Fulda SportControl 2 225-45-17- Mazda 6 Sport 2.3L 300 miles May 24, 2017
So smooth and quiet tyres! The car is much more comfortable with them. Excellent on wet roads, good handling on dry. For that price I think this is the best choice.

Uniroyal RainSport 3 215-45-17-W Mazda 6 Sport 2.3L September 19, 2016
A search on the internet shows that here in Northern Ireland we average 213 wet days a year (feels more like 313), so my first priority was to find a tyre with excellent wet-weather handling, grip and braking. The Uniroyal Rainsport 3 certainly meets that criteria! As so many have already stated on reviewing this tyre, the wet performance is truly excellent and the dry performance is more than adequate. You are not going to get the razor sharp performance of expensive Michelin or Continental premium brands for example but then again the Rainsport 3's cost less than half the price. A new set of four with the old tyres disposed of cost me £300. The tyres that were replaced were Michelin Exaltos and I would pick the Uniroyals over the Michelins without hesitation. In addition to being a safe tyre, I find them to be both very quiet and very comfortable. With the Michelins, the occupants in my car had to shout at each other to converse at motorway speeds! The Rainsport 3's are much much quieter. As far as wear, I've only done around 2000 miles but they seem to be holding up okay but even if they wear out more quickly than the other major brands, I feel that the lower prices and superb wet performance more than compensates for the reduced wear. So in summary, if you drive sensibly and want to get from point A to point B safely, especially on the damp, slippery UK roads I unreservedly recommend the Uniroyal Rainsport 3. They are great tyres when weighing up price versus performance!

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 215-45-17-W Mazda 6 Sport 2.3L 10,000 miles October 26, 2015
Still 6mm left after the season (10k+ miles), although often driven very hard (spirited) with heavy cornering and braking. Incredible grip during dry braking, I did some measures and my braking distance from 100kmph was around 29 meters. Excellent on dry asphalt, and also very good on wet. The feedback is quite nice, but progressiveness could be a bit better to bo 10 out of 10, this is perhaps due to soft sidewall. But there is a huge advantage from such soft sidewall, the tires are very comfortable to run compared to other summer tires I had before with same profile size. Overall very satisfied. Seems they could last another 2 seasons.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 215-45-17-W Mazda 6 Sport 2.3L 250 miles April 14, 2015
Recently (250 miles ago) fitted on Mazda 6 Sport. Previously had Dunlops sportmaxx TT. So far I'm positively surprised by these new tires. Grippyyy, very nice brake performance, lateral grip and progressiveness could be a bit better when cornering aggressively, however fronts seems a bit underinflated and I suspect that this is the cause (will check the presure and update the review later after more miles driven). Subjectively I would say F1 asymm2 are more comfortable and quieter compared to previous dunlops. I would never expect sporty tires to be so much comfortable, thumbs up for that! I also tested them on empty highway last weekend, incredibly stable at speeds around 200km/h (125mph). So far, so good, I'm very happy with my choice. Only had a change to drive in a dry so far, looking forward to test wet performance as well because wet is where these tires are supposed to show its huge potential!
