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.

Kelly Edge Touring AS 235-45-18 Hyundai Sonata Ultimate 1.6t 5,000 miles October 10, 2025
They are very versatile tires. They have a giant warranty, but even I don't think they will reach it, even though they don't wear at all, I guess they could do 60 000 km, but they will be too old for me to use before that, I do 8 000 km to 10 000km every half year. They feel very confident in light rain, but a bit more twitchy on puddles where you can hydroplane. Over dry, its most likely my car, you can make them squeak when accelerating faster when turning after a stop, but they are very good once they get going. For comfort, they are better than the budget chinese tires I had on my focus (Sailun Atrezzo) and they have a better road feeling while having a tiny bit less road noise compared to the other when new, and much less noise compared to my previous tires when they were almost done. I don't think these will get as loud, and it will take much longer, the sailun lasted on 4 years used half the time. I also used these at the start of spring and they are good in lower temperatures (close to zero or a bit under), as long as there's not a lot of snow on the road, I did a small road trip with them to get to my free oil change and I was very happy to have all seasons instead of summer tires. You don't feel the most when braking but they do the job. For the price they do a great job, but I would only rebuy them if I had an economy car that I would drive much more every year. They are excellent for chill highway drives

Dunlop Winter Maxx 2 225-45-17- Hyundai Sonata Ultimate 1.6t 3,000 miles March 5, 2025
They feel better and drive nicer than my previous winter tires on another car (Sailun Iceblazers on a focus), however the car’s front end power is a bit too much as soon as there is snow. Braking seems to be longer, especially if the snow isn’t sticky. They are good to use wherever as long as you’re driving softly and with ample grip available from the road surface. I’d say they are good value if you can find them for cheap, just a bit over the price of economy winter tires
