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.

Continental Sport Contact 6 235-40-18- Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec.B 6MT Sedan March 26, 2021
I am really impressed with this tyres! First time I use a UUHP tyre, and it was more than I hope. Bought this because the Goodyears Eagle F1 Supersport were sold out for a few months and now I don´t regret it to choose these. Now I think it´s not worth it to people buy the Michelin Pilot Sport S. They are really expensive. Buy Michelins if you go to the track and if you see that they give better lap times. After these ones I will try the new Bridgestone Potenza Sport.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 215-45-18- Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec.B 6MT Sedan 22,000 miles March 26, 2021
Great tyre. Sporty enough for a UHP segment, great confindence on wet surface.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 215-45-18-W Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec.B 6MT Sedan 15,000 miles February 18, 2015
Good grip on dry but in wet it doesnt have the grip for a sport driving.

Pirelli PZero Nero 215-45-17-W Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec.B 6MT Sedan 25,000 miles May 24, 2014
Great tyre, lasted over 3 years. Never had issues in the wet, breaking distance was never compromised, strong sidewall (took a chuck of rubber from the side from mounting the kerb and never affected the tyre after), tyres were a bit noisy when I first got them but that disappeared after not too long, only a shame I never got to push it's true potential on a track, great stuff!

Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 225-45-17- Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec.B 6MT Sedan 20,000 miles March 6, 2014
Had two sets of these in 215/45/R18 on my Spec.B, driven on them hard and driven a lot. They're nearly on par with the PZero Rosso Asimetrico's, however a tiny little bit better in wet and they do tend to squeak a bit on the limit in the dry. Wear out equally fast as aforementioned Pirelli's. Very good performance tyre all in all, I might just get them again.

Pirelli PZero Rosso 225-45-17- Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec.B 6MT Sedan 15,000 miles March 6, 2014
Better in dry when compared to the RE050A's, however a tiny little bit worse in the wet. No squeaking on the limit, works very nicely on both flat and coarse tarmacs.

Pirelli Sottozero Serie II 225-45-17- Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec.B 6MT Sedan 12,000 miles March 6, 2014
Excellent in snow, somewhat acceptable performance on pure glass-like ice, regardless of the fact that a studded tyre would have been an entirely different story. On dry and warm they are of course soft, however still perform nicely, predictably let go, on wet, especially during winter temperatures they perform greatly. Next winter I'm gonna get these again.
