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 CC drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I fitted the Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 tires because they were very well rated in terms of external noise (67).
They have 75,000 km on them today! They are not quite at the end of their life, which I estimate at 85,000 km!
I'm changing them because I haven't swapped them back and forth a sufficient number of times.
The rear tires have developed notches on the inside; this is a common defect in CCs, due to the rear axle alignment (original) and the very particular braking distribution system (contact on all 4 wheels).
So I'll put the same ones back on, but I'll swap them at each oil change, which is every 10,000 km.
Usage: 50% motorway, 40% departmental road, 10% city.
Normal to spirited driving on small roads...
The most impressive thing is that they maintained their grip throughout their entire life, even on wet roads.
They never surprised me, the drift came very gradually.
Now aquaplaning on the front at over 110 km/h with very heavy rain, I am at the maximum wear indicators on the front, the rear axle does not move because it is a little less worn.
Pros:
Grip in the dry is excellent with the grip in the wet not far behind.
Feedback is also good and lets you really feel when you are approaching the limit (although sport springs were put into the car at the same time as the tyres went on which will have improved road feedback).
Cons:
Fronts did wear out rather quick although I did expect this considering the levels of grip on offer.
Comfort was somewhat lacking, this being a low profile tyre I really did feel every bump, cats eye etc.. However the worst part was the road noise which was horrendous on rough surfaces or rumble strips although it was bearable on the motorway or at low speeds through the town.
Won't be replacing the front tyres with these this time, going to try something different but could be an option for the rears again.
