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.

Toyo R1R 235-45-17-W Lotus Europa S 225 500 miles April 23, 2011

Front: 205/50/15
Rear: 235/45/16

Dry grip from these tires is amazing, best dry gripping tire I've had yet. The car corners like it is on rails. I can definitely carry a lot more spped in to corners now with plenty of confidence. (Previously had Goodyear F1, F1 Aysemmetric, ContiSportContact 2, Vredestien Ultrac, Ultrac Sessanta, Toyo T1-S and T1-R).

The sidewalls are very stiff so you will loose some comfort, but not much and I probably notice it more in the Europa given its stiff suspension setup.

Not had them long enough to comment on them about ware but given the grip i'm getting from them I'm not too fussed.

Decent winter tire but no where near as good as the ContiWinterContact T830P.

Excellent winter tire, best ones I have used yet.

Grip in wet/dry/snow all brilliant. Can't fault this tire one bit.
