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.

Bridgestone Turanza 6 225-45-17 Opel Vectra C GTS 40,400 miles September 3, 2026

Mostly at the end of their life, i noticed sufficient wear on the side walls (even small chunks we're missing) and cracks on the corners. Also, they tend to lose air, maybe because of heir excessive wear.

BFGoodrich gForce Winter 2 225-45-17 Opel Vectra C 1.9CDTi 150bhp October 9, 2025
These tires are simply on another level on snow and ice, can't recommend them enough.

On dry, they are decent for a snow tire, but could be better. The water evacuation is amazing.

Amazing tire overall for its price and wear.

Goodride Solmax 1 225-45-18- Opel Vectra C GTS September 30, 2024
Bought these tire used, almost brand new. In the first glance was sceptical because it's a china manufacturer, but i liked the tire pattern, because it reminded me of a michelin-continental tire pattern (bigger grooves for water). Risked it and bought them. And got to say, i was impressd in a good way. For my car power and driving style they are really good. I mostly drive in the city and countryroads. Expected it to be cheap china tires with bad performance, but after driving 10k+ km in summer, they are comfy, good looking, good aquaplanning, accelerating in wet is good, acceleration in dry is nice. I mostly drive easy, but like to drive fast in the freeways. Tires capible of doing 150-200kmh without any issue and stays on the road firmly. Overall - pretty good tires for normal driving in summer, reliable and cheap. For a good price I would definately buy them again.

This beast has been a very good companion for the last 4 years! I really struggle to find any sort of major weakness. I'd definitely recommend these!

Dunlop Winter Sport 5 215-50-17- Opel Vectra C GTS 25,000 miles July 8, 2023
A very snow- and ice-focused tire. Struggled a bit too much with wet and dry conditions, but overall not the all-conquering test winner which seemingly everyone said it is. (might be related to my specific size used)

After 4 seasons they got annoyingly noisy, but until then, they were quite comfortable.

Viking Wintech 215-55-16- Opel Vectra C Stationwagon 2.0 DTI, DIESEL 100BHP 18,000 miles January 26, 2023
Back again, year is 2023, the wear is not an issue, stil not at the winter wear mark, doing a good job in the winter months even without the snow, mostly dry tarmac during the winter and the Viking holds on. Fitted 4 more on my wife's Mondeo estate. Hope the Continental will improve them and keep them available, it is a tire I do not want to see replaced by some shittier quality new one. Bought them for the 2017 winter , rotated them only in the last 2 years, 100% they will be on next winter as well.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225-45-17- Opel Vectra C 1.9 cdti 120 hp 30,000 miles May 11, 2022
Dear, I am very happy with the PS4. I drive my 2007 Opel Vectra C since 2014, I bought it at 165000km and now she is 565000km. I have drove around 400000km with that car and went through wheels sizes from 16, 17 and now 18 inch and of course all types of tires! I started with 16inc and Primacy 3 or 4 (can't remember) and it was regular drives. In 2017 I bought 17inch wheels and better size tires that goes with it, 225/45R17. I fitted Cross Climate and had the longest ride on tires ever, at 80000km of use those tires still had life! Since 2019 the car drives on 18inch and 235/40R18 with PS4. I drive very hard since my car is fully upgraded, the handling is amazing with the LSD and I can take corner so fast! Michelin tires are amazing, very precise and always gripping on the road. Braking is amazing too. I can't complain just enjoying them everyday! Love to feel how warm and soft they get after a good drive :) *Wheels always original Opel Vectra wheels. Car has been seriously updated and tuned to this day. Now run on Bilstein/Eibach, Powerflex, Wavetrak LSD, Short shifter, stage 1, Brembo, Big intercooler... :) I also drive an Audi RS6 Performance, first delivered with Dunlop tires... so bad in the wet... I almost crashed the car twice...! Then I fitted PS4S and the world changed! Now I enjoy extreme fast drive and hard breaking and those tires takes it all! Only on road of course, I haven't took the car to the track yet. But very stable at 300km/h+ on the highway :) Thank you for your tires review! :)

Fortuna EcoPlus 4S 215-50-17- Opel Vectra C 1.9 cdti 120 hp 2,000 miles December 2, 2021
Bought these tires already used, made in 2020, with like 8mm of thread left. Softness pretty decent, been riding in autumn - they were nice, although wet grip was not impressive, in higher speeds on a corners, you could feel a bit of slipping, dry grip is ok, braking is good too. Aquaplaning is good, cuz it has pretty wide gooves. Good on high speeds, no shaking or any other stuff. Everything changed when started snowing. Grip and braking on ice is poor, thank god for antislip system, snow grip not very good too. Generaly speaking, all season tires for climate where there are no or very less snow and for temperatures just bellow zero. Good tire for summer-autumn, maybe spring. Price was ok, would buy them again if needed, for winter i would mount a winter tires instead.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 235-40-18- Opel vectra c 25,000 miles December 2, 2021
Best tires for summer that i had so far. Dry handling is amazing, wet grip and handling is impressive, almost no aquaplaning even if going high speeds (140-160kmh). Only cons are wear and comfort. Overall, impressive tires, for more sportier riding this is the best choice. Buy again for sure
