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.

What Nissan LEAF Tekna drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Bought these tyres to replace existing mis-matched budget tyres than the car came with. Immediately noticed the improved levels of grip, comfort and reduced noise, which has made the driving far more pleasureable. Wet grip is confidence inspiring and while the car isn't outstanding in the dry it is very predictable and the tyres communicate well as you approach their limits. Wear has not been an issue to date and I'm expecting them to last well.
Performs bad on ice and snow, even new tires noticeably bad on ice and snow, feels like suer tires. I would never ever buy them again.
Absolutely the worst tyres I've ever had the misfortune to have on a car. My wife's nissan leaf is fitted with these and they ruin the car.
They seem to roar at 50mph or above, seem to have the worst balance despite being checked twice.
In the wet it would be comical if it wasn't that they are just dangerous. Sliding and I can spin the wheels at 10mph with a little throttle! Braking distance is poor and you never have confidence in the grip.
The contrast with my Goodyear EfficientGrip2 on my other car is staggering.

Good tyres, wearing is quite acceptable. They lasted from 2020 on mountain roads and highways, city daily driving so around 45000 kilometers and still 5000 kms before being exhausted at the front.
I appreciated their comfort with the noise: good with my Nissan Leaf 2.
On dry surface, they miss a bit of traction to support the 350 NM from the electric motor.
On wet surface, they miss a LOT of traction, they rip very easily.
Appart from traction, they are ok, not a sport tyre but pretty much enough to keep you secure.

Replaced Dunlop BlueResponse with these, the sidewalls are way too soft. They grip well but you feel the car moving around on the tread. I can't wait until they are worn out so I can replace them.
Worst winter tires i ever had. On snow/ice it is noticeably has worse grip compared to the previous tires i had. Car is like a cow on ice with these tires. Very disappointed, although tests show different story. .
These tyres came in my Nissan Leaf when I bought the car. I usually use Michelin, Good Year or Pirelli. I was quite skeptical but since the tyres were almost brand new and it would be a waste I kept using these tyres.
It was quite good. I won't recommend these for spirited/hard driving always however, when I required to drive hard they were quite good. Had good grip in the corners and wet whether traction was also good. Used them even after the wear indicators came as Sri Lanka did not have tyres to buy. Even though they were near bald (Outer walls were almost bald) they held on pretty well during heavy rains driving at 100kmph on highways. I did not loose confidence yet I was cautious. (I do not suggest driving like this at all costs. Feedback only.)
Quite happy with them. But I switched to Michelin Primacy 4. Did not seem too much of a difference other than the comfort level. I'm yet to drive hard with the michelins so can't mention the difference yet. All in all a good experience with the tracmax tyres.
Stock tires for the 2018 NIssan Leaf. These have worn faster than I have expected. These are bit scary in the cold wet Seattle roads. Steering feel and "return to center" is better with the 205/65r15 bridgestone blizzak ws80s.
So much quieter on the car compared to the previous set. Only did the fronts but the difference was dramatic. Will definitely use these these tyres when the rears are due for replacement. A real winner for me.
