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.

Kenda KAISER KR20 195-55-16-V Peugeot 207 GT HDi 6,000 miles June 7, 2015
The grip is fantastic. No issued with loss of control dry or wet. But the noise is appalling! Had them installed front and back to replace my hankooks and actually took my car to the mechanics because I thought I had a wheel bearing gone or a brake caliber sticking! Definitely going back to hankook when these wear out.

Autogrip F107 205-45-17- Peugeot 207 GT HDi 2,000 miles June 21, 2012
Totally and utterly the worst tyres I ever had in over 20 years of driving. I have just bought my car and the garage 'generously' put 4 new Autogrip tyres on at point of sale. I wish they hadn't bothered as these tyres are useless.

I don't drive like a loon but however I do like to get from A to B at reasonable speed. Even at modest speeds in the dry the tyres can squeal when turning a corner and cause oversteer far too easily. However this is nothing until you experience wet driving conditions with these tyres..

In the wet, if you enjoy the 'driving on ice' feeling, then these are the tyres for you. In a corner there is absolutley no grip what so ever, and the ESP traction control light of the car flashes like a Christams tree in an atempt to regain control and try to get you round the corner safely. This happens at low speeds, but the best fun is going up a hill and round a corner at the same time - there is quite simply no grip what so ever. And my car isn't a fire breathing 500 bhp monster, it's only a Pug 207 hdi with a modest 110 bhp. Also a new game you can play in the wet is trying to stop in the when going downhill without the tyres losing grip and triggering the ABS - great fun (not)

In summary I am going to get rid of these death trap items and replace them as soon as possible.

Uniroyal RainExpert 195-55-16-V Peugeot 207 GT HDi 4,000 miles June 7, 2012
The tyres are awesome. They really do have better wet grip than any other tyre I have ever tried. There are no signs of aquaplaning when driving from a dry road to a wet road even at the motorway limit. After coming through deep standing water the tyres begin to grip immediately after and you can feel the tyres beginning to really bite.
I shall definitely fit these again.

Avon ZZ3 205-45-17-W Peugeot 207 GT HDi 10,000 miles February 27, 2011
Seems to be as grippy as Pirelli P Zeros, wet or dry, plus quieter and give better fuel consumption. My first 207 HDi GT had P Zeros which I changed to ZZ3's, and I will do the same on this one. As an added bonus, they are much cheaper!

Pirelli P Zero 205-45-17-W Peugeot 207 GT HDi 15,000 miles February 27, 2011
Overall grippy tyre, but seem to be noisy (though getting near end of life)and fuel consumption not good - I'm only getting 50 mpg but with Avon ZZ3's I was getting 55 mpg.

Continental Sport Contact 2 205-45-17-V Peugeot 207 GT HDi 9,000 miles February 19, 2011
I've fitted these tyres to the front of my Peugeot 207 GT Diesel twice.
I do well to get 8,000 to 9,000 miles out of them.
The grip is fine in wet or dry conditions but the cost is too high £130 plus per tyre to replace them every year...I'll be trying a different brand soon..

Pirelli PZero Nero 205-45-17-R Peugeot 207 GT HDi 20,000 miles October 30, 2010
Pirelli Zero Nero were fine when new but from half worn (about 10000m), were less than comfortable with grip and were completely useless in snow. Just prior to replacement (19000m - but still well legal) they lost all grip in even dry conditions. These are tyres I would never use again and would advise to avoid at all costs.

Nankang NS2 215-40-17-W Peugeot 207 GT HDi 10,000 miles January 11, 2010
Worst tyres ever after fitting 4 of these my average mpg dropped from 54 to 42. Puncture very easily having had 3 punctures so far. If you want tyres that last forever and only drive on the smoothest of roads then these are for you.
