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.

What Ford Escort XR3 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Great tires, except that they don't do the job so well at heavy rain. Other then that, the tire wear was something unexpected in a bad way. They were gone at 20000 to 30000 kilometers (~15000 miles). Since the price is a little high I don't recomend these (anyway, I think they are not being produced anymore).
