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.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Pleasantly surprised Excellent tires with good handling and exceptional comfort
Was pleasantly surprised Excellent tires with good handling and exceptional comfort
Excellent tires for the money. The grip in the wet and dry is very good. My car is rwd so rears only lasted 14kms while the front lasted just below 40klms.
One of the worst wet grip tires on the market. If you have a rear wheel drive car avoid at all costs.
My Mercedes CLS had the 'MO' PIRELLI P ZERO fitted when I bought it last summer, in the dry they were great but in the wet they were dreadful, roundabouts had to be navigated with caution, the P ZERO has been around donkeys years and in my opinion, it shows.
I had Hankook ventus S1 Evo 3 fitted a couple of weeks ago and they have transformed the way the car handles, they are quiet too, wet handling is vastly improved, no breakaway from the rear or wash out from front.
The steering response seems much sharper.
It's understandable why this tire is becoming standard fit on several premium high performance cars.
I would consider my driving style to be 'average', I like to push on when conditions allow but doubt if I'll ever reach the limit of the tires potential.
These tires are notibly cheaper than the more top regarded brands too.
I'd highly recommend them.
It's early days do I can't comment on wear.
Pleasantly surprised, these tires were slated but seem to be pretty good for price paid, gripped good in the wet on a 265bhp Mercedes cls good cornering grip, early days but so far so good.
I purchased these to replace 4 budgets (with plenty of tread) that came with the car when I purchased it. These new tires have certainly transformed the car, but not necessarily in a positive way. The ride is now very harsh and the vehicle feels like its jumping all over the place. It tramlines; and bumps, pot holes and manhole covers are bone jarring - neither of which I never experienced previously. I dropped the PSI down some which has helped slighly.
Road noise has also increased, especially noticable at the front when cornering at town speeds.
Wet grip is good and does provide plenty of confidence coming out of corners. However, I've had the traction contol kick in several times pulling out of junctions on dry roads - again something I'd never experienced before.
I never thought I'd ever say this, but I actually prefer the budgets over these Goodyear's! Im annoyed at myself for buying these tires now because I cant justify spending another £500 to replace 2 week old tires.
I put Goodyear's on my previous car (Volvo T5) for 7 years and they were suberb but unfortunately they dont suit the Merc at all....

I've been using this standard fitted tires on my car for three months and i hate it, it has a appalling ride and goddamn it it's very noisy, 30 miles per hour in town and I cant hear the audio. Very disappointing.
