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.

Avon ZT7 185-60-15- Audi A2 2,000 miles May 31, 2023
Good grip, great on corners but wear a bit. I just swap my wheels around to even the wear

Davanti DX390 195-55-15- Audi A2 400 miles July 23, 2022
Not very good. Need say no more really.
I was in need of a front pair of tires and got let down by another supplier so was a little stuck. I deliberated having read some dire reviews of them but it's only a wee Audi A2 however it is a fine handling little car much to the surprise of many folk. Hankook Ventus Prime K125 all round prior to this. Those are great tires with dry and wet weather grip that is very progressive, wear rate impressive too and no noise unlike these Davanti's.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, they are bad. Initial impressions on dry roads I must admit was, these aren't too bad. They seem to be getting worse with a few hundred miles on them. They're coming off right away.
Don't buy!!!

Goodyear UltraGrip 9+ 175-60-15-H Audi A2 1,000 miles January 13, 2021
I took a chance given the lack of reviews or tests at the time and have had these on my Audi A2 since November: Too early to rate the wear yet as I’ve only done 1000 miles or so, but these are great at dealing with all conditions you’re likely to find in rural southern England. Dry and wet braking are very good and they are quiet except on concrete road surfaces, but then what type is? We had a lot of ice on the roads here recently and I live in a hilly area - these dealt with it fine as long as you drove sensibly. I’ve not had a chance to try them in snow but the reviews suggested they will be good. Based on my impressions so far, I would buy them again. I’ll update once I’ve used them for a couple of full winters (so spring next year).

Pace Toledo TL1000 225-45-17-W Audi A2 2,000 miles July 30, 2020
Had these tires fitted on my mums car, she doesn’t drive fast or hard so they’re been pretty much perfect as they’re long lasting. Last set of TL1000s lasted about 30,000 on the front and rears were still at 4-5mm. I am a keen driver myself (track experience ect in my own cars ) and at first I was a little put off by the low scores of the tires, however when driving on them they were surprisingly good. The car grips well in the dry and handles ok. On back roads they make the little A2 quite a competent car and I have upset faster cars through the corners. Temperature is a big factor with these tires, colder outside temperatures the performance drops of significantly. In the wet they’re not as good, but in such a low power car they’re not too overwhelmed. I haven’t driven fast in the wet so I couldn’t comment on their performance with speed in wet conditions. Overall surprisingly good given their low ratings, but are never going to compare to premium tires.

I like these tires they give good feedback, wet grip could be better, we'll see how the winter months fare!

Kumho Ecsta KH11 185-50-16-T Audi A2 40,000 miles April 4, 2013
Bought this car 2nd hand with these tires fitted all round and dealer agreed to replace the front ones for the same tires which lasted just short of 40,000 miles!! on 'A' class and country roads. And, over the 3 years of life returned an average 69mpg.
'Comfort' and 'Grip' are difficult to measure objectively in this car as it has a firm suspension, drives like a go-kart round corners and roundabouts and, sticks to the road like glue in all but icy conditions.
Would I buy it again? - unfortunately, the KH11 is no longer made...

Pirelli P6 175-60-15-H Audi A2 9,500 miles August 2, 2011
Decided to get these tires based on a test made by auto express uk.(aiming safety, performance and last of the last - the price)
unfortunately these resulted really bad on the Audi A2 in this specific tire size (175/60 15).
previously installed with OEM continental tires, the brand new P6s grip is far poor either accelarating straight, breaking and bending corners. could not believe how many times all those lights (stability control and traction control) blinked on the dashboard on my daily routine to and from work.
these are 2 years old now and you can see the tire age trough some tiny fissures all around the rubber.
quite honestly I panic driving in wet and feel no confidence on the riding.
time to change these tires (20% wear)by a different brand and obviously no more pirellis in the near future.

Vredestein Snowtrac 3 185-55-15-H Audi A2 4,000 miles April 18, 2011
Great tires, bought for the new snowy Brighton winters and for driving over to the Alps each winter. Can't praise them enough. Better in warm weather than my old 175/60R15 standard tires, and really good in the winter snow, even good on ice if you know how to drive properly.

On my Audi A2 TDI,
I went back to drive another car without winter tires on spin spin spin.
Grip is great,A bit noisy when 10?,put them on early ready.
Grip like its a dry road
