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.

Michelin Pilot Street 145-40-17- Yamaha R3 October 4, 2016
Quite good if you want to ride in nice weather. Get rid of these tires if you'd like to ride during wet days as well! I ride on r3 with these tires and I don't feel confident at all with them!
I used to ride honda 125CBR in UK for more then one year, and to be honest, the grip on smaller tires (you know how tires of 125 bikes are) was MUCH BETTER then the grip on my much wider michelin pilot tires now. I've done already about 3k KM with them and had about 4-5 situations when I nearly felt down during wet days (I have really good experience how to ride in rain from UK but these horrible tires surprise me all the time).
If you want to ride just in nice weather - they're ok but still I think it's better to pay little extra to have decent tires, it can save your life, don't save money on it.
If it's possible that you will be catched by rain or you just want to ride during rainy weather - don't even think about buying this, honestly.

Where this data comes from

Every rating on this page was submitted by a driver through the review form on this site, naming the car, the tyre, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new ones arrive.

About the TR Score

The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, so you can check a car-specific ranking against the wider evidence.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
