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.

Kormoran Road Performance 225-55-16 Volvo V70 D5 165bhp (03) 10,000 miles April 10, 2026
After a few years I'm happy to report that Ive since moved on to already different cars and also tires.
Nevertheless, I sold these tires to a friend of mine and he kept driving them for quite some time.
He drives quite a lot, both highways and cities. Most noticeable was how little they were worn, the cracks in the sidewall did not develop further.
Would I buy them again? Probably not as for myself I replaced them with Kumho Ecowing ES31 and they were a far better fit in every category.
Overall - good for the money at the time.

Kormoran Road Performance 225-55-16- Volvo V70 D5 165bhp (03) 5,000 miles September 18, 2021
These tires were a part of a rim/tire combo when I was shopping for rims, since they were included in the price (brand new), decided that I'll take them. Was skeptical at first, but immediately was surprised how quiet they are both at low speeds (city) and higher speeds (highway/motorway). Now, in terms of comfort they are really good, but those few times I've pushed them a little they haven't responded well, slight understeer, low confidence in the corners, might be due to my car being a heavier Volvo, but on the other hand when emergency braking was involved the ABS didn't kick in and they handled the situation very well. All in all I would say that they are more of a comfort, relaxed driving style type of tires and if you're not looking for anything more then they are the way to go. Wear is minimal, but then again, not that many kms covered this summer, so difficult to judge just yet. Notable mention that after just this summer (2021) they have started to crack at the top of the sidewall, so that's a bit of a concern for the longevity aspect.

Uniroyal RainExpert 205-55-16-V Volvo V70 D5 165bhp (03) 6,000 miles November 15, 2012
Without a doubt, the best tire i have had. It's not for those who drive their car like they stole it, the sidewalls are built for comfort and they deliver just that. Nothing short of awesome in the wet, much better by far than the contis and michelins i used before. They are really hard wearing too, i expected them to wear faster given the grip they provide. These WILL be going on my car again.

Neuton NT8000 235-40-18- Volvo V70 D5 165bhp (03) 10,000 miles September 18, 2012
Bought these NT8000's after many sets of the fantastic NT5000's. Thought a newer design would be better. How wrong I was. Wet grip is dangerous, I can spin them up with the lightest of touches. Pressing on is a nightmare due to chronic understeer. Can't wait to get them off and get another pair of NT5000's, trouble is they don't appear to be wearing away!
Sorry Neuton, not impressed!

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 225-45-17- Volvo V70 D5 165bhp (03) 10,000 miles August 9, 2011
superb, unflappable, utterly faultless.
I get such good feedback and progression in dry and drenched roads, and after 10K there is hardly any sign of wear.

I think it may be black magic.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 225-45-17-W Volvo V70 D5 165bhp (03) 1,000 miles May 4, 2011
I have just switched from Michelin Pilot Primacy as the cost was going to bankrupt me. I drive 600miles/week on duel carriageway and sweeping A roads, these tires are a huge step forwards with regards to ride comfort, and the dry grip is exceptional. I can't mark them down for wet grip as it's been so dry recently.
There is a bit of noise when on concrete duel carriageway but nothing antisocial.
I bought them for £101 each fitted so they are not the cheapest available but if you enjoy a fast smooth ride then I can see very little that another tire could do better.
