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 Volkswagen Passat 2.0TDI [150PS] DSG drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Wobbling at speed 120km/h, contacted Sailun Europe, it was a time waste as responses came once per 2 weeks
When new had good performance.
After one summer, got hardened and performance dropped from 8/10 to 6/10.
On icy sludge became almost unusable. Took me 10m to stop where others did it in 4m with abs activated.
Not happy, never again.

Approximately 15k miles and still have 4mm tread remaining. These tyres were good when first fitted October 2023 and remained good for 14 months. They do not feel as good on the car as a summer tyre, much softer, but I suppose that is the compromise. The wet weather performance was also not as good as a summer tyre which suprised me. Performance in snow was notably good compared with summer tyres. I had 4 tyres fitted and after 14 months 2 of those tyres have deformed with raised bumps on the outer edge of the tread all around the tyre, giving the impression that some part of the tread has delaminated. For the limited winter snow and ice we get here in the north of england I do not think the compromise is worth the lack of performance in dry and wet weather. I will be switching back to summer tyres.
Dry grip is very good. Wet grip is good, very predictable and you always know where the limit is. There is a part of road with short wooden bridge- in the rain at 10°C my summer 2017 Conti completely looses lateral grip, but Sava sticks firmly. Grip on the snow and ice is exceptional - it goes and goes. Trye wear is low. For the price exceptional tyre.
Only managed to get 15k miles out of from set on 2016 2.0 TDI DSG Passat se mixture of town motorway and rural driving. When these tyres got down to 3.5mm they started to get noisy also wet grip went off really quickly. Would not expect this from a primium branded tyre.
Will not buy again, especially at the price

In the past I have got about 18K from a set of front tyres, but these tyres will be changed before I reach 12K. Very disappointed and therefore will not consider as replacement
