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.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 225-45-17 Kia Motors ceed 20,000 miles October 25, 2026

Overall good. After the 4th year they degraded heavily however, more noisy and less wet and dry grip.
Age killed them before I could wear them out.

Michelin CrossClimate 3 205-55-16 Kia Motors ceed 9,000 miles June 19, 2026
Excellent tires as a replacement for Winter tires is central European climate. My review is based on their performance in period winter tires are required by the law. I wore them from mid October to be of May. Drove 14k kms and i'm very happy with them. Excellent in dry condition (for AS/AW tire) better than any winter tires, but worse than most summer tires until temps fall below 15°C. Better than any summer tire on dry and wet under 10°C. Just OK on >25°C
Wet condition are very good, little weaker on breaking, but handling and aquaplaning in wet are fantastic.

Snow performance are excellent too, no significant difference between them and premium winter tires.

Ice is a bit tricky, they are usable but notice special, most midrange winter tires are noticeably better on ice, but in the same time if ice is smooth they are neck to neck with best winter tires (neither of one is really good but manageable, while some winter tires absolutely suck on smooth ice)

Comfort, they nailed it here, a little noisy but ride comfort is excellent especially when consider good response and accuracy on steering along with fact that they absolutely tell you where limit is and still have excellent control after passing that limit (their famous understeering).

Are they sporty, not really they are not made for that purpose.

Wear is excellent after 14k km they lost only ~1mm (±0.1mm),but don't expect them to last this long in summer

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 205-55-16 Kia Motors ceed 20,000 miles February 14, 2026
These tires transformed the cars feel compared to budget tires when I bought the car. The tires have lived up to the reviews having done over 20k and showing minimum wear on the rears and plenty of tread left on the fronts. Run on a Kia Ceed SW diesel, loaded up with kids. Reckon they'll comfortably do 40k miles on the front and have good feel and predictable handling.

Laufenn I Fit+ 195-65-15 Kia Motors Ceed 1.6LS 5,000 miles February 3, 2026
The 3 reviews before me helped me choose these tires, which exceeded my expectations. They have an unbeatable price-quality ratio. Quite safe on dry and wet roads. Very good on snow and ice. A little weaker on slush and roads with a lot of water. They evacuate it more difficult. For the first 5000 miles, they convinced me. They are trusted tires.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 225-45-17 Kia Motors ceed 13,000 miles January 30, 2026
The grip is out of this word... The car has tons of grip and gives you SOO much confidence in the rain. My previous tires (Triangle) were horrendous in the rain. At the end of their life, I was scared when it started raining, now, i'm more than confident driving.

Milever All Season Versat mc545 215-55-17 Kia Motors ceed 1,000 miles November 8, 2025
Good value all season tire. Good grip on wet muddy roads. Good grip in the dry but can be Slightly noisy compared to other all season tires but nothing over the top.

Tigar High Performance 225-45-17 Kia Motors ceed 2,000 miles August 18, 2025
Good tires, had them for 5 years and about 30k km on a Kia Ceed 2020. They handle well both on wet and dry, they stick to the road in curves, nothing to complain about.
The only downside is the little cracks that appeared with time, I've seen the same on a very similar Kormoran tire, it's just the rubber getting old. 100% would buy it again.

Continental Premium Contact 6 205-55-16- Kia Motors ceed 4,000 miles April 10, 2025
Had these tires on my KIA Cee'd SW 2018 for a couple of years and while they're really great in terms road feedback, handling and sportiness and of course grip levels, they lack veeeeery much in the comfort and noise department. That actually made change them before I really had to, I simply couldn't stand it anymore. Granted my car isn't the best when it comes to sound insulation and such but it was really annoying.

It's a great tire if you don't care about comfort and noise.

They've been replaced with Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance2.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 205-55-16- Kia Motors ceed April 10, 2025
I've recently put these tires on my KIA Cee'd SW from 2018, they're miles better than my previous Continental PremiumContact6. Especially in terms of comfort and noise they are not even comparable. I know from tests and having used them on my previous car as well that they perform really well all around.

I'm using the 91H verison and no the V rated version because I really want the best comfort available, and H speed rating is recommended in this size from KIA.

100% recommended if you want a tire focused on comfort and noise and also performs really well.
