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.

Kumho Ecsta HS51 215-40-16-W MG MGF VVC 5 miles February 14, 2017
Bought these to replace what I think are shockingly dangerous Toyo proxes T1r's on my MGF,
I have only done around 5miles on these but there is more control of the car as its mid engine rwd I now feel confident i can now throw the car onto a corner and come out facing the correct direction.

These are very good tires and going to buy 2 more for the front of my car shortly!

Yokohama S Drive 195-50-15-V MG MGF VVC 1,000 miles March 4, 2012
Replaced front tires on MGF these Yokos have inspired confidence once again to push the car through corners in both wet and dry, no more understeer or sliding of the front before the back..Really nice tire

Toyo T1R 205-50-15-V MG MGF VVC 1,500 miles January 3, 2010
Just replaced the rear tires on my MGF with Toyo T1R's, (with Avon ZV5's being my second choice due to price). These tires have made a huge difference to grip. I drive on all sorts of roads and find the rear grip in the dry and wet is now amazing. I've also used these on snow and grip seems to be acceptable, let down by the other brand of tire I have on the front. Though I've not used the car on snow prior to the Toyo's so have no comparison.
All in all a Great tire.

Toyo T1R 205-50-15- MG MGF VVC 51,000 miles September 19, 2009
Fitted some of these to the front of my MGF a few months ago and was not sure if there was an improvement, but thought there was. Now fitted them to the rear and noticed a great improvement immediately. Road holding is very good and road noise has been reduced greatly over that when Khumo's were fitted.
Very pleased with these tires and definately have them again.

Avon ZV5 --- MG MGF VVC February 16, 2009
The ZV5 is a huge improvement over the ZV3. With the latter I found the ride hard and the handling not as precise as I would have liked. In contrast, the ZV5 is smooth riding and handles far more progressively in both the dry and the wet. In fact the MG is transformed with the ZV5. I would certainly recommend the ZV5.

Toyo T1R 215-40-16-W MG MGF VVC 12 miles February 7, 2008
A good value for money tire.

I bought a pair last year to get me through the MoT on the advice of other MGF drivers, as the F can be very fussy about tires. Fit the wrong ones and you are spinning into a hedge.

These tires suit my car and my driving. The wet and dry grip is good (on a par with the GSD2s I have on the front)the feedback is excellent, they are very progressive. My only complaint is the wear rate, but then again these are a very soft tire.

Well recommended.
