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.

Pirelli P Zero 225-45-18-W Mazda 6 MPS 2.3L V6 Turbo AWD 3,000 miles October 6, 2020
I love those tires. They get warm very fast , very nice handling, very good for wet roads in the highway or in town. Ideal for roads with low grip. They wear fast!!! Previous tires: Bridgestone RE050A, not satisfied at all especially on wet roads. P Zero Rosso, average, better than Bridgestone

Achilles ATR Sport 2 225-45-17- Mazda 6 MPS 2.3L V6 Turbo AWD 1,000 miles May 16, 2020
Have been using these on my cars for years; not the best in terms of high performance but a bargain when looking for a performance tire for your daily driver. Have run them on VZ Commodores with no problems, now on an modded and tuned Mazda6 MPS. Awesome off the line grip and corner capability. 10/10 would recommend.

Bridgestone Potenza RE050 215-50-17-W Mazda 6 MPS 2.3L V6 Turbo AWD 81,000 miles April 4, 2019
Best tires I ever have had. Their territory starts when you drive over 170 km/h on curvy road. I have now driven with them 81000 km and now their life is over but I will buy new ones next week.

Yokohama Parada Spec 2 225-45-17- Mazda 6 MPS 2.3L V6 Turbo AWD 8,000 miles November 3, 2011
Excellent grip in the dry, not too bad in the wet, however if I were most of the people posting reviews saying that the wet grip is appalling I'd have one piece of advice...slow down in the wet. Noise is not bad, no worse than on any other directional tire, wear rates are a little higher than most, however that's a small price to pay for high grip levels. As previously stated the grip gets better when pushed, they obviously need high heat levels to perform at there best. As to only handling 82 bhp per wheel or what ever it was, there's alot more too it than that, the weight of a car and the suspension set up means that a tire that's good on one car is not always good on another. I had them on a highly tuned Mazda 6 MPS and the grip levels far exceeded the Bridgestone RE050A's that it came with.

Would buy again.

Falken ZE912 215-45-18-W Mazda 6 MPS 2.3L V6 Turbo AWD 450 miles March 9, 2011
Had these 4 tires fitted c. 2 weeks ago. Immediately noticed quieter / smoother running (I suspected 1 of my wheels had lost a balancing weight before these). Previously had Pirelli pzero rosso fitted, which were great in the wet, but wear rate was poor & they're expensive. So far, so good - highly recommended.

Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 225-45-18- Mazda 6 MPS 2.3L V6 Turbo AWD 2,000 miles July 20, 2010
The 95Y tires have good sidewall support and seem to create an extra damping effect thereby improving ride. The car is more "pointy" after the soggy sided Toyos. I still have pimples left on the tires after 2000 miles so good for wear, I think. Grip is solid no matter what the weather. No squeeling. They are excellent value and look amazing. The only problem is availability. If you decide to get them, order in advance.

Falken ZE912 215-45-18-W Mazda 6 MPS 2.3L V6 Turbo AWD 1,000 miles December 20, 2009
The Mazda 6 MPS is recommended to be driven on the relevant Bridgestone tire, however due to working in Australia for 3 months I was reluctant to spend ?150 per tire this time and so was recommended the Falken ZE912, 215 45 R18. I know they are not quite as good as the Bridgestone in terms of grip but comfort and wear they are fantastic. The 6 MPS is an all wheel drive sports saloon and yes I do love to throw it around now and again, to be hand on my heart honest they have not let me down once and still give me the confidence to push on. To be fair I put that down more to the car than the tire but for the money saved on these tires I think they are a bargain and a good all rounder for the spirited motorist who knows their limit. I will comment on wear more after a year of driving.
