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.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 225-40-18- Audi A3 S Line Sportback 2.0 TDI 184 9,000 miles November 16, 2024
Following on from my original review 12 months ago... I'm still impressed with the tires. After nine thousand miles, they look to be wearing well. Comfort and cabin noise levels are still impressive.
The only negative I've found with them is that when cornering at higher speeds they aren't as grippy as my previous Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.
That's only to be expected, as the Cross Climate 2 is an all season tire as opposed to the Pilot Sport 4 being a summer performance tire.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 225-40-18- Audi A3 S Line Sportback 2.0 TDI 184 500 miles November 27, 2023
Recently put a full set of these tires on my A3. They replaced the Michelin Pilot Sport 4's (which lasted for twenty thousand miles/three and a half years).
The Cross Climate 2's are a huge improvement when it comes to comfort and cabin noise. The PS 4's were very crashy on rough roads and they were noisy. The CC's are quieter and so much more forgiving. Time will tell how they perform in the winter months. I would recommend these tires if you would like a more comfortable ride.

Continental Premium Contact 6 225-40-18-W Audi A3 S Line Sportback 2.0 TDI 184 8,000 miles April 29, 2020
Bought 4 new tires, front two lasted one year approx 8k miles. For tires this expensive would've expected to last a little longer. Driving was mostly motorway driving so to wear that bad would not buy again.

Continental Sport Contact 5 225-40-18-W Audi A3 S Line Sportback 2.0 TDI 184 2,000 miles March 2, 2020
These tires were fitted on my Audi A3 Sportback when I bought the car. They were virtually brand new so I thought happy days... How wrong I was! They're so noisy and unforgiving. Handling and grip is excellent. I'm glad they don't wear well, means I can swap them to a quieter tire. Good Year Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's will be what I go for next.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 225-40-18-W Audi A3 S Line Sportback 2.0 TDI 184 500 miles March 10, 2017
Previously had the Eagle F1 Assy 2's, very happy with all aspects, really couldn't fault so purchased again, however GY replaced with assy 3's. Still a great tire for driveability, however rim protector is almost non existent, the alloy rims basically are level (at the best) with the rubber, this is not what I expected.

As well as looking a little odd my expensive alloys are now at risk, wouldn't purchase again and will change to another make soon with proper rim protectors, will have sell these on Exxxx.

Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 225-45-17- Audi A3 S Line Sportback 2.0 TDI 184 5,000 miles January 16, 2017
Great tires especially under heavy snow and also great for aquaplaning when passing at high speed in deep water. For winter these are very good and also when it comes to the money you pay for the quality.

Dunlop SportMaxx RT 225-45-17- Audi A3 S Line Sportback 2.0 TDI 184 15,000 miles November 8, 2015
Absolutely love these tydes, they're quiet, comfortable and have superb levels of grip in the dry, not terrible in the wet either. The only issue I have with them is wear rate, I've done two front sets in about 15,000 miles, so the wear is shocking, however for the performance they offer I will be ordering again.
