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.

Hankook Ventus Prime 4 215-45-17- Alfa Romeo 156 GTA 1,000 miles March 25, 2024
The best summer tire I drove was the Continental premium contact. And I wanted to try something different, and I need to say that I didn't regret, hankook ventus prime 4 is very good replacement. I am more than satisfied, and I would recommend that tire.
Thanks

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 225-40-18-W Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (with Q2) 8,000 miles February 3, 2020
Drove it on 3 different tracks during 2019, including Nurburgring and Spa, in all kinds of conditions.
Impressive grip in the dry, very good resistance to overheating and completely linear performance in the wet.

Bridgestone Adrenalin RE002 225-45-17- Alfa Romeo 156 GTA 1,200 miles October 4, 2012
I was initially weary of internet reviews and claims about these tires - Almost concluded that they surly are over rated condiering the price of them. However due to unavailability of my first choice I proceeded to fit RE002s all round to a 2002 Alfa Romeo 156 V6. I came from Goodyear Eagle GSD3s and I would have to compare the gri and cornering as similar. Comfor is good even steeping up from 16 to 17". Road noise is minimal too.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3 225-45-17- Alfa Romeo 156 GTA 3,000 miles March 10, 2012
Outstanding grip on wet and dry roads. Good feedback. BUT....shockingly quick wearing on my FWD 156 GTA. Getting close to the wire after only 3000 miles of mostly average driving. Rears still have plenty of tread. In summary, fantastic grip but if you have a fairly powerful FWD car I would give these a wide berth - unless you don't mind forking out for a new pair every few thousand miles.

Falken ZE912 225-45-17-W Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (with Q2) 5,000 miles December 8, 2011
Fitted 4 of these to a Alfa 156 GTA. Initially I thought they lacked a bit of grip but after a few hundred miles of scrubbing the finish off them they are very good for both dry and wet grip levels. They are also very quiet and comfortable, maybe a little too comfy for some, there is more isolation from road imperfections then you would get with, say, a Goodyear F1, or Michelin PS2. As a so called mid-range tire, they easily embarrass many high end ones, but at an unbelielevably good price. As others have said, no brainer.

Falken FK452 225-45-17- Alfa Romeo 156 GTA May 9, 2011
Superb tires and great value for money. I keep coming back to them over and over again. I've used them on an Alfa Romeo 156 GTA and a 156 GTA Sportwagon with fabulous results. I've also used them on a Ferrari 308 GT4 on racing circuits. Excellent all round tires.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 225-40-18-W Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (with Q2) 8,000 miles March 12, 2011
Very good grip levels in dry and wet, 'though I would rate them behind the Michelin PS2 I had previously. Under hard acceleration, they can squirm about quite a bit, something I've not experienced with other tires.

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 225-45-17- Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (with Q2) 15,000 miles March 1, 2010
I've never used a better tire than the ps2, They have so much grip, I've driven on tracks with single seater racers and these are the only tires that get close to that amount of grip, Best tire out there.

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 225-45-17-W Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (with Q2) 10 miles September 5, 2008
Very good, but wear quickly on the front wheels. Probably because it's a 250BHP FWD.
