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.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 205-55-16-W Volkswagen Golf TSI 1.4 225whp 40,000 miles March 5, 2019
The Bridgestone Potenzas Re760 sport are dependable tires but for summer /dry conditions only. In the wet they re almost dangerous to drive if the road is fully soaked with water or under heavy rain, not to mention wet cornering .
