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.

Toyo Proxes T1 Sport 225-40-18- Volkswagen GOLF GTI MK6 remmapped May 15, 2016
This tires is not good for high performances car especially if drive fast. The treadwear very fast wore out especially outside. Not more than 10k km i've to change tires already. This tire kinda noisy after 1500 to 2000km run. If you plan to race or hill speeding, I wouldn't suggest this model.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225-40-18- Volkswagen GOLF GTI MK6 remmapped 1,000 miles December 30, 2013
I have had Bridgestone re050a, Michelin PS3, Advan Neova AD08 and Kumho KU36. The Michelin PSS has satisfied my need with awesome dry traction! Handling is very good, braking is also very good combined with my Stoptech Big Brake Kit.

The last Bridgestone RE050A tyres were replaced with 2mm of thread depth left after being driven for 20,000km including 10 x 30 minutes race track runs and 4 track days.

I had my car wheel aligned by a proper knowledgeable workshop (not just any typical tyre shop) prior to fitting these PSS and confident that they will last more than 40,000km given that I have a separate set for track use.

Many people complain they don't last long, BUT I wonder if they ever had the car wheel aligned correctly and even regularly check the tyre pressure and conditions... ??

I would not bother using max summer performance tyres on snow and make any comment on snow, it is just plain wrong. It is like wearing formal shoes for mountain climbing!!

Bridgestone Potenza S04 Pole Position 225-40-18-W Volkswagen GOLF GTI MK6 remmapped 15,000 miles December 22, 2012
Amazing tire, it really handles almost every situation really well. When i tried them for the first time my first impression was , these tires are to comfy to perform , well i was wrong, it is impressive how well they handle in the dry, the wet? they do the job really well, but i have tried better ( f1 assymetrics) they wear quite quickly but it is expcted for these kind of tires.

there is a humming in some roads, that will remember you this is not a tire made for comfort, this humming started after 5k miles, when the tire started to wear.

Now im changing tires and i will try the new f1 assymetric 2s lets see what happens..
