It is not for sporty driving, in braking especially in the dry there is a problem and they make a strange sound, they are tires for daily calm driving without any driving interest they would not buy them again!

Fitment comes from each tire'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.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Impressive winter tire, very good grip and brake in snow or ice,,
Just excellent
One winter on theese, very good for the price, no problems on 10cm snow or ice so far. Didnt except that to be honest, buyed for 200e. Lets see the next winter.
A great tire with exceptional value! Have been using them on my Alfa Romeo 156 for the past month done more than 500km. The dry grip is fantastic in the Greek roads and in the wet I enjoy a hassle free ride. The steering feel is very much improved over my past Good Years. Barum truly are a fantastic alternative to the big and expensive ones. Specifically in my dimensions its a steal for 290 euros. Definitely recommend! (I'm not saying Barums are better that Pirelli Conti Michelin but the value is astonishing!)
Absolutely the worst tires I've ever had. Even in the dry they squeal like a banshee at the slightest provocation. In the wet they wheelspin at t-junctions (normal acceleration, not pushing it) and are extremely dangerous when cornering (understeer) unless you crawl around at 20 miles per hour. I would never recommend these tires to anyone else.
Good tires. But too noisy at low speed and not the most comfortable ones. I'm gonna change 2 of them with 40000 km. and I'm gonna try the MA-Z4S Victra. We'll see which ones are the best ones.
The grip in dry conditions is very good, but in wet conditions it could be better.
In short, i'm pretty happy with them, but i'm gonna try with two MA-Z4S Victra.
