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 Primacy 4 195-60-15- Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 16V (2003 2008) 13,670 miles October 30, 2024
Coming from BluEarth AE50, Falken ZE914 and Kumho PS31, this Thai made Primacy 4 is the quietest set of tires I have ever owned. On nicer paved roads, it's really a silent on a Japanese ride. But on roads with poorer condition, it is still noisy for me. Dry braking distance is noticeable longer but still able to stop in time during emergency. On heavy rainy days, I can maintain speed limit confidently on the highway. Aqua planning is great. Can't really feel the steering pulling to one side when driving through puddle. Road feedback is average, but you won't feel like you are losing control at 140km/h on Malaysia highway. However, I feel it is still short on comfort even on stock suspension setup with all newly replaced original parts. Inflate to 2.1 bar, the car is bouncing everywhere like a boat. Inflate to 2.3 bar, the ride is extremely harsh on uneven Singapore roads like I am on coilover. Other than this bumpy/bouncing issue, it is a great set of tires. Now at 22,000km and 4 years old, noise level and grip are still good. But have to look for other brands as good 15 inch tires are hard to find these days.

Great tires for new vehicle. But on the wet, they might be slippery. Fast driver Got Mitsubishi Lancer 2017

Yokohama BluEarth AE50 195-60-15-V Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 16V (2003 2008) 30,000 miles November 30, 2017
Dry and wet grip is good in summer. Aqua-planning during rain is adequate. Value for money for a made in Japan tire. Only downside is that the sidewalls are soft, not very good for harsh cornering. It's considered a noisy tire when its new. And it is extremely noisy now (done 30k km)

Dunlop Sport BluResponse 195-60-15-H Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 16V (2003 2008) 20,790 miles November 29, 2017
Dry grip is fenomenal and so is the wet grip. Dry breaking is very good and the ABS system kicks in only in emergency braking. Wet braking is also very good, but the ABS system will interfere sooner than it would on dry braking. I drove in heavy rain and I was confident in driving at ~100 km/h without any sign of a problem. I drove once into standing water on the first lane, doing ~55km/h and nothing bad happen, though the front right tire was spinning around on water surface. I realised that since the revs suddenly gone higher, but the car kept its direction. Handling is good only if I inflate the tires at a pressure of 2.1 bar as car manufacturer says to. Road feedback is strongly related to correct tire pressure and it has to be done at least every 2 weeks to enjoy driving the car on country roads in a spirited manner. If tire pressure is below specified value, the car feels like is on jelly tires. Comfort on smooth tarmac/concrete is good but they tend to be a little noisy on bad tarmac/concrete roads. Wear is great considering I drove 20790 miles and the tire tread is half as it was when new. I would buy this tire again for sure!
