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.

Event Potentum 225-55-16- BMW E39 528I Touring 8,000 miles December 14, 2016
On the rear only of a 528i Touring I bought a few months ago. The tires were almost brand new as had beeen fitted after an MOT fail two weeks previously. I have found them to be good in dry conditions and not too noisy. Wet performance not very impressive at all - and show them a slight slope with a grass surface and they will just spin - no traction at all - almost as if they had silicone lubricant on them. The Hankook Ventus's I replaced them with just fly up the same slope with no slipping at all. The Events also lasted a lot shorter time than I would have expected for rear tires (albeit on a RWD car.) 8k miles in - they are down to 3-3.5mm which is about where I would change tires in any event.

Not overly impressed - probably wouldn't buy them.
