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.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Wet weather riding hasn't even been an issue. The tread pattern may put some off thinking it won't handle in the wet but it seriously does amazing!
Used for 2 days at Cartagena race track in Southern Spain in 25degC heat left them a little tired and used at lunch on the second day.
B compound front with Endurance rear & silly low preassure took some getting used to 27fr 24r psi cold.
Warmed up well without warmers and you could pin it after two warm up laps with knee down after 6 corners.
I usually use Racetech K1fr k2r on set up suspension and can go through a rear a day whn it's sunny
The AV62 seemed to wear well, not to much snot on the edges and have cleaned up nicely giving no moments to speak off.
Will leave them on for day 1 @ Almeria before swapping over to Racetechs, great tyre & will put them on again
