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.

Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D 205-55-16-V Volkswagen Golf Plus 2.0 TDI GT December 1, 2010

I thought driving in snow was only for people with big 4x4's until I discovered "WINTER TYRES" these Dunlop 3D's are just amazing, it should be law to have them fitted in the UK as it is in many other countires during the winter months.
I have followed 4x4's up hill and down hill in my Golf Plus, today a car coming in the opposite direction slowed down to say there was no way through "ONLY 4x4's are getting through, I said I have winter tires on and he laughed, I said just watch and see how they work.....I was away up the hill and gone, I would have loved to see his face, I bet he tells everyone!!
Fit Winter Tires you will be amazed!!!!

Hankook Ventus Prime K105 205-55-16- Volkswagen Golf Plus 2.0 TDI GT 2,000 miles September 13, 2009

These are standard kit on many new VWs including Golfs and Passats, on everything from basic models up to the sport editions. So it's no surprise that they're a bit of an all rounder. The ride is comfortable with low road noise and they give a decent amount of grip on wet roads. By no means a high performance tire, but if your driving style is mostly average you can't go wrong.
