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.

Fulda EcoControl HP 185-60-15 Volkswagen Polo Sedan 1.6 14,000 miles September 12, 2026

Made in France in 2018, the remaining tread is about 6-5.5 mm. in 9 years, it became, of course, more rigid and less sticky and less comfortable. Unidentified pieces began to fall off. There are no micro-cracks. Without obvious failures, but without "light", generally comfortable for every day.

Continental MaxContact MC7 205-45-17- Volkswagen Polo Sedan 1.6 1,000 miles February 14, 2025
Change from Hankook Ventus P4 to MC7. The biggest change is comfort..sidewall is soft and tyre noise is reduce. Will review againt at its end life

Hankook Ventus Prime 4 205-45-17- Volkswagen Polo Sedan 1.6 25,000 miles February 11, 2025
Use almost 1 year (40000km). First 40% of tread life is good. Once reach 50% of tread, it start to deteriorated. End up swollen and had to replace it..this tyre is not meant for heavy users.

I'm the type of person that always do alignment, balancing and rotate every 10k km. Always avoid potholes but still end up with swollen tyres

Barum Bravuris 3HM 195-55-15-V Volkswagen Polo Sedan 1.6 100 miles August 28, 2017
I've used tires from well-known Pirelli, Firestone and Goodyear brands, and I'm pretty sure Barum is the best tire I've had since Michelin. A great tire for a great price!
They are not very beautiful but they are great.
