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 Skoda Kamiq drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
The PIRELLI replaced the CONTINENTAL ecocontact. I changed them because whether on dry or wet (catastrophic on snow), they did not suit me. No feedback at the wheel, poor in curves. The CONTINENTAL reduce friction with the road to decrease consumption, which also improves comfort and rolling noise compared to the PIRELLI.
Good feeling on dry roads.
Quiet tire (audible only around 50 mph) and quite comfortable.
Better than the Vredestein Quatrac tire on snow.
Better than the Nokian Weatherproof tire in the rain or dry.
The Nokian Seasonproof 2 tires are descended from the Weatherproof, with significantly improved handling and braking in wet and dry conditions, aquaplaning resistance and rolling noise.
I have very mixed opinion of these tires. I will make a follow up in a couple of years how they are behaving.
The upside - they are quiet. They have low rolling resistance. To the level that I did manage to pull off very good mileage when driving conservatively. After 4000km it is not possible to say that they are wearing fast or slow. Handling is very good - a new car so any downsides should be visible already. Great during the summer, tried braking hard - very good traction. Slippage minimal.
The downside - these tyres are meant for driving over 10 degrees Celsius and dry. Wet handling and braking is very bad, especially for a premium brand. They slip easily, lots of understeer. It is very easy to lose traction when trying to take off on a green light - come on, this is 1.0 tsi, this does not have all that power to be able to skid - and I am not talking about pushing the metal to the pedal - I am talking normal driving. I will be changing to winter tyres sooner, because in the mixed weather they are straight dangerous !
I have another car with Nexen mid range tyres, 2 years old, and they behave far, far better in the wet than these Goodyears.
Something is wrong with these tyres. This is a third time that the OEM tyres that come with the vehicle behave like this - as if for OEM the manufacturer traded grip for longevity. Same was with Pirelli Cinturato P4 on Grande Punto (140000km to 2mm), same was with Bridgestone ER on Opel Meriva (90000km to 4mm)
Oh well, maybe my luck!
