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.

Linglong Green Max All Season 175-65-14-T Rover 400 January 5, 2019
It's a value for money choise here in Greece!
Impressed with performance in the snow and ice.
In wet conditions you are not afraid the aquaplaning but this tyres are not so good in braking condition.
In dry conditions they have good grip and handling.

Pirelli CINTURATO P6 185-60-14-H Rover 400 35,000 miles May 25, 2015
Best tire i ever driven.Spectacular grip even when wet didnt seem to lose any directional grip or feel of the road.Lasted pretty well long,consider that i drove the car every day for 4 years and most of the time agressively
Best low budjet(but with great performances)Pirelli produced in my opinion.

Sunny SN600 185-55-15- Rover 400 6,000 miles March 10, 2013
An update to my review below. These tyres are not marked with a rotational arrow, so I felt safe to swap the front tyres over from left to right using them in the opposite direction, as the tyre blocks were very rounded after 6,000 miles and the understeer at slow speeds on roundabouts was excessive. I have to say the cornering has been transformed, no problem now going round mini roundabouts even from a standing start, which used to result in huge understeer when turning right !
On the basis these can be swapped over, which will give a decent level of grip over the tyres life against a tyre marked to rotate in one direction only, its a good budget buy.

Nankang NS2 185-55-15- Rover 400 2,000 miles March 4, 2013
Had these fitted to the rear, huge amount of road noise on the motorway. Large amounts of brake dust on the front alloys suggests low grip, from 80% city centre driving. Rear braking was poor on the MOT report.

Sunny SN600 185-55-15- Rover 400 2,000 miles March 4, 2013
Had these fitted on the front to pass the MOT. Noise level was noticeable on the motorway. Have had to do two emergency stops and on both occasions have skidded to a halt. Huge amount of brake dust on my alloy wheels from low speed stop and start town driving. Require a sedate approach to cornering.
