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 Potenza Sport 205-45-17- Peugeot 207 GT 16 miles October 13, 2023
Very good dry and excellent wet grip and with very predictable behavior. tread depth is down to 4.5mm from the initial 6.5mm in 16k miles, so wear is not a issue at least in a lightweight hatchback. Coming from pirelli p zero nerogt and Dunlop sportmax sp, the Bridgestones provide higher grip levels and more comfort in exchange for some steering feel. From my experience i would recommend them.

Goodride SA05 205-45-17-W Peugeot 207 GT 10,625 miles November 5, 2018
I bought the car with those tires. I didn't even know this brand before. The dealer bought them because he could write "new tires" on the advert.
I was surprised of the performance on dry roads: they are OK. The ride is also not to bad.
On the other end, the performance on wet roads is very bad; the lateral grip in this condition is very, very poor. Also the noise they producing is very, very high. Last point: the front tires need to be changed after 17000km. They are the worst tires I had on this last 3 points.

The grip is fantastic. No issued with loss of control dry or wet. But the noise is appalling! Had them installed front and back to replace my hankooks and actually took my car to the mechanics because I thought I had a wheel bearing gone or a brake caliber sticking! Definitely going back to hankook when these wear out.

Autogrip F107 215-45-17- Peugeot 207 GT 250 miles December 4, 2013
Fitted on the front of a Peugeot 207 GT, no feedback from road at all, the steering was so light it was like driving on glass. Nearly crashed at under 45mph when cornering, front end just slid and nearly went into a ditch. Road was not even properly wet, just a bit of damp from the Lincolnshire fog.
Absoloutely horrible tires, these were fitted by the dealer and had around 8mm of tread left on them, swopped them for a set of Falken 914 within 2 days which are a hundred times better in terms of feeling & inspiring confidence.

Falken ZIEX ZE914 EcoRun 205-45-17-W Peugeot 207 GT 9 miles October 26, 2013
Great tires. Replaced pirelli p zero nero's which are also great tires but have a firmer ride & throw up a lot of spray in wet weather. Bought the falken 914 ecoruns at over £40 pound a tire cheaper than pirelli's & im well impressed with them, great in the dry & wet, lovely comfortable ride & very quiet, with zero tram lining & tread wear looks like it is going to be good. Car also staying a lot cleaner down sides & back with a lot less road spray in wet weather, rear screen was never clean with pirelli's. From high motorway speed fully laden with holiday luggage to torrential rain on greasy country roads i cannot fauly these tires. Like the pirelli's i have every faith they will stick to the road when cornering hard in both dry & wet conditions

Sunew YS618 205-45-17- Peugeot 207 GT 9,000 miles October 22, 2012
had a brand new set of these on the front of my 207 gt when i bought it, now im not gonna lie but i would be classed as a fast driver, i dont speed and i do drive by the conditions however, im classed as a little quick of the mark and accelerate hard too, at first the tires were ok, however as soon as i fitted coilovers they couldnt cope, coilovers stiffen the ride, and i found that the tire couldnt cope with the diffrence in force applied to it when the car tried bouncing,

but the worse thing about these are when it gets wet, as soon as theres even the lightest rain, slow down and take your time, these have near to no grip when it gets wet, sliding, locking up under light braking,

after fitting my coilovers i only had them another week before i changed to toyo t1-r's for the front, so much better, however there more expensive,

now in my eyes if you have a fwd car then these will be fine for the back, however i dont think they can cope with doing the steering and the power at the same time, my fwd 207 was remmaped to 220bhp, think that was to much tbh, if you have less than 130bhp i think you'll be fine

Autogrip F107 205-45-17- Peugeot 207 GT HDi 2,000 miles June 21, 2012
Totally and utterly the worst tires I ever had in over 20 years of driving. I have just bought my car and the garage 'generously' put 4 new Autogrip tires on at point of sale. I wish they hadn't bothered as these tires are useless.

I don't drive like a loon but however I do like to get from A to B at reasonable speed. Even at modest speeds in the dry the tires can squeal when turning a corner and cause oversteer far too easily. However this is nothing until you experience wet driving conditions with these tires..

In the wet, if you enjoy the 'driving on ice' feeling, then these are the tires for you. In a corner there is absolutley no grip what so ever, and the ESP traction control light of the car flashes like a Christams tree in an atempt to regain control and try to get you round the corner safely. This happens at low speeds, but the best fun is going up a hill and round a corner at the same time - there is quite simply no grip what so ever. And my car isn't a fire breathing 500 bhp monster, it's only a Pug 207 hdi with a modest 110 bhp. Also a new game you can play in the wet is trying to stop in the when going downhill without the tires losing grip and triggering the ABS - great fun (not)

In summary I am going to get rid of these death trap items and replace them as soon as possible.

Uniroyal RainExpert 195-55-16-V Peugeot 207 GT HDi 4,000 miles June 7, 2012
The tires are awesome. They really do have better wet grip than any other tire I have ever tried. There are no signs of aquaplaning when driving from a dry road to a wet road even at the motorway limit. After coming through deep standing water the tires begin to grip immediately after and you can feel the tires beginning to really bite.
I shall definitely fit these again.
