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.

Very good dry grip replaced a set of Yoko's with these as they were cheap, very surprised at the dry weather grip. Would buy again.

Toyo R888 205-45-17- Vauxhall Nova 15,000 miles March 15, 2010
I bought these after meeting the european CEO for TOYO and not believing what he told me about the tyre. I swapped the racing michelin n22?s from the rally nova and fitted these on the car.

Instant grip is available but not as power sapping as the michelin n22?s( the nova does not have a lot of torque to overcome the michelin n22?s friction) they will not let you down as long as the car is not very heavy and last for ages.

I have since then installed them in the road car, octavia vrs, and in the recce nova so the police dont fine me for doing rally recon with slicks. I feel its a revolutionary tyre.

Kumho Ecsta KU31 185-55-14-H Vauxhall Nova 8,000 miles February 4, 2009
I had these on a Vauxhall Nova with a very stiff -40mm suspension kit. This became my only car and I did everything in it from shopping, to chinese food delivery every weekend over 2 years; the car was driven very very hard on almost every journey. These tyres were very good to begin with but became dangerous in the wet when the tread got to about 3mm (after 8000 miles). Dry grip was good and when the car run out of grip, it would gently break into understeer, letting you know what was happening. Wet grip is fine to begin with, as is their aquaplaning resistance. I replaced the fronts with Falken ZE512, these were not as good. I would buy these again for a lightweight car like a Nova (or modern equvalent: Saxo, 106, C1, Aygo et al) but not for a heavier car as I think they would wear out even quicker.
