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 PremiumContact 7 225-45-17- Volkswagen Golf Mk7.5 1.5TSI 150HP 6,000 miles April 13, 2024
Replaced the Hankook Ventus S1 evo2's that came as standard on my Golf MK7.5, which were odd from the start.

These Conti's are way better in almost every aspect, especially handling (wet) curves. The car glues itself to the road, while the Hankooks made me feel insecure in any wet conditions. I experienced massive aquaplaning on the M25 near London, during my trip to the UK last October, but they handled very well. As for the wear they're also really good, but I'm a relaxed driver, not sporty. The only thing that they lack a bit, is the noise and comfort on bad surfaces. Even on the quality roads here in the Netherlands, they can still be quite noisy sometimes and a bit 'bumpy'.

Overall they're really amazing tires. I'm really happy with them and they feel very secure.

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 205-55-16- Volkswagen Golf Mk7.5 1.5TSI 150HP 5,000 miles May 17, 2023
OK, I drove on these tyres from Nov 22 to May 23 - approx 5K. Have switched back to my Goodyear Efficient Grip Perf 2. Summer tyre simply superior in warmer conditions.
Had a chance to drive the 4seasons in dry, wet, snow and ice.
They are amazing in the wet, cutting through water really well, like a pair of scissors!
In the dry they handled better than I thought they would. All the corners I take at speed in my summer tyres were handled well by the 4seasons, certainly for everyday driving. Just felt like I was driving on foam when pushed hard.
Drove on side streets when covered in ice. Reversing and turning on a slope not good at all, tyres spun frantically. Didn't feel confident in the ice at all, although a voice in my head kept telling me they must be better than summer tyres!
Had a good few days of snow where I live this winter (Perthshire). Couldn't wait to try them out! Felt much better than summer tyres, no surprise there, and they did grip when turning a sharp corner, although sometimes it took a brief second for the grip to kick in. Was disappointed that when stopping at junction my ABS kicked in and juddered, failing to stop in time. Just as well no traffic coming the other way.

Overall, for general driving in winter I'm happy with them and in November will get them back on my car. Not sure I'd want to keep them on during a hot summer, too spongy.

I also experienced my first puncture with the 4seasons; 3 days after I bought them my front passenger tyre was completely flat. Maybe not as robust as I'd hoped.

I've owned a set of CrossClimate+ before and was happy to keep them on all year, not so the 4seasons.

I would buy again, but I'll definately consider Michelin CC2 next time.

Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 225-45-17- Volkswagen Golf Mk7.5 1.5TSI 150HP 16,500 miles April 1, 2023
I have this tires since 2020 and I drive with them around 27.000km and still they have 6mm tread thickness, but one tire is damaged, some wires inside him brake down and now I have an uneven rolling surface. At around 35kmh I have a bumpy ride and I have the feeling that the tarmac is waved and because of this problem, at 130kmh I have a vibration on the hole car. I would say that this tires are maximum OK. But I will go back to Continental and Michelin.
