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.

Continental WinterContact TS 860 225-45-17-V Mercedes Benz C320 cdi 8,000 miles March 9, 2021
For me the best winter tyre to date. I recommend it to anyone asking me which winter tyre to buy and so far no one had a single complaint. Dry and wet grip is very good for a winter tyre, but what's even more important for me, this tyre has thick, strong sidewals and therefore awesome road feedback and stability at higher speed cornering. Comfort is good.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225-45-17-W Mercedes Benz C320 cdi 4,000 miles March 9, 2021
Grip itself is awesome on both dry and wet surfaces. However sidewals are so weak, at higher speeds in the corner you could feel the tire moving and the whole car would "dance". That wasn't the case with my Continental TS860 winter tyres, which were superior when it comes to high speed cornering. I'm comparing it to this tyre because it was the only tyre I drove with that car, beside EcoContact5 which I immediately replaced with Michelin because Eco on rain is like they're made from plastic. It may behave better on lighter cars. Mine was around 1700kg.

Sunny SN3800 225-35-18-W Mercedes Benz C320 cdi July 12, 2011
These tyres should not be available to buy, recentley bought a new merc, rear wheel drive with 25obhp diesel power, the last owner had put these so called tyres on the back end where all the power goes !! Just ok in the dry, but in the wet absolutley terrifying, the traction contol is working overtime to keep the car on the road, i do not drive it fast as have young family in the back of the car, these tyres have been on car for 4 weeks and they will be replaced by the weekend, be warned never skimp on tyres as you will get what you pay for !!
