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.

Autogrip F107 205-55-16- Volkswagen Jetta GLX 187 miles June 3, 2013
There is no nice way to put this so I'm going to just let you know that these tires suck. I needed 4 new tires and went to my usual Mr. Tire garage and they convinced me that these were great tires, I should have waited and done some research on them because they sound as bad as when I had the badly bald tires on the car. I have several passengers in my car ask me if I need new tires because the sound inside the car is very pronounce. I have not had an opportunity to drive them on wet pavements and after reading all these reviews, I'm really worried about doing so. My mechanic was highly critical of the tire and showed me where the tire has a bumpy defect on the outer walls.
