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.

These tires are a a good solid buy. Good road holding in dry and wet with very good wear rate.
Comfortable and reasonably quiet. I had no qualms whatsoever in driving quickly under any whether conditions. Unfortunatley the price on this tire has increased dramatically since I bought mine

Falken FK453 255-35-18-W Mercedes Benz CLK 280 14,000 miles April 30, 2014
Reasonable quiet tire with good road holding in dry less so in wet. Very comfortable and masked road imperfections very well.
Down to 3mm depth after only 14000 miles at which point changed to Uniroyal RS3 which I will report back on in due course

Sunny SN3970 255-35-18- Mercedes Benz CLK 280 22,000 miles March 5, 2014
Tires were already on car when I purchased it. Grip went from dire in the dry to what the #### in the wet. Even when they did manage to grip in the dry it didn't feel good as the soft side walls did not inspire confidence. The constant whine made journey's unbearable. However the wear rate was amazing lasted well over 20,000 miles.

Federal SS595 SUPER STEEL 225-45-17- Mercedes Benz CLK 280 4,000 miles June 16, 2013
Shocking in the wet. The tires were mounted on the wheels just prior to me purchasing the car. As they were new, I kept them on the car. Budget permitting - I'll change them at first opportunity.
