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 Vauxhall Corsa vxr drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I was concerned as I had never heard of the brand but did not want to replace brand new tyres so thought I would give them a go.
tyres were ok at first dry and wet grip were reasonable although not amazing. But after a few months the tyres went downhill fast, dry grip became no better than average and wet grip was downright dangerous.
Front wheels spin up when pulling away from junctions even in the dry and handling at any speed over 40mph is poor. In the wet the tyres are just plain dangerous, front wheels spin up and send the traction control crazy even on the slightest use of the throttle and the car aquaplains at speed regularly, it's like trying to drive on ice.
After 2 almost accidents due to aquaplaining and the car being completely out of control in the wet the tyres were removed as I considered them dangerous, fronts still had around 5mm of tread rears around 7mm. They were replaced with Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 3 tyres all round and these tyres even after 6 months of spirited driving are still providing excellent grip in both dry and wet, just shows how bad the davanti tyres really are.
Worst tyres I have ever had fitted to a car, average at best in dry and dangerous in the wet. Do not buy.
I replaced the original Continental tyres on my car prior to a long distance road trip around Scotland. I tend to push my car to its limits when safe to do so, and safe to say these tyres do not disappoint. The dry and wet grip are both outstanding, and give a lot of confidence through corners. You can feel where the limit of grip is. Road noise is significantly reduced vs the Continentals. The tyres had no problems swallowing tight, twisty, off-camber, greasy Scottish back roads and I have no complaints regarding longer motorway journeys either.
The wear rate seems relatively high, but these are a high grip performance tyre, so I am not expecting to be annoyed if they don't last 40'000 miles as some on here seem to expect. Can also report no vibrations either, even at speeds well beyond highway speeds and deep into 3 figures.
grip: i found with the right tyre pressure for the situation they are a great tyre dry and in the wet, with this it is the same in the corner's.
mileage: decent miles per gallon using the right pressure.
wear:i know they are designed to be a soft sport's tyre, but had these now for a few thousand miles upo and down the motorway along with some spirited driving and i can say the wear on them is minimal.
im going to give the tyre overall 8/10 compared to its rivals.
