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 Peugeot 205 1.9 Gti drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
run them on a 205 gti and would easily beat most things off the mark in the dry but when the rain comes even a spot you need to be a very very brave man or women to even attempt a corner. I remove them around late October for better tyres in the rain.
I've fitted T1R's to all 4 corners of my road legal track 205 despite being told to buy the R888's... however, numerous people have been suprised on a dry track just how well the T1R's carry my little rocket out of the corners of Silverstone and Rockingham. They're alright in the wet but I don't really drive in the wet as the car fills up with water which is uncomfortable. for general road use they're really good IMO and I haven't managed to scare myself on the public highway unlike my previous Contact Sport 2's which lasted all of 5 minutes and 1 backward out of a corner incident. The 205 is known for it's tendancy to catch you out with lift off oversteer but these give you enough of a feel to correct the car's pace and direction before you end up in the tyre wall/hedge etc... Road noise is aweful but i have no interior so I suspect that is the car and not the tyre. Wheel spin is something I have to live with when not on track because the engine only has 2 settings, go and off so i don't think any tyre could actually keep this from spinning seeing as it has no ECU, ABS, ESP etc... or any other boring safety features. Good tyre, have lasted 2 track sessions with 3000 miles in between and passed it lastest MOT with them, can't be bad for ?45 per edge!!
