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.

Nankang AS1 225-45-17- Mazda Bongo Friendee 300 miles July 26, 2017
Bought four of these tryes and had wheel and car vibration at 60 mph.
Went back the where I bought the tires from and they rebalanced the front wheels and it was still no good.
I then after a few weeks of getting my cars suspension checked out all of which were good.
I then went to our local Honda dealer and they checked the tires again and they found that two tires were out of round and not balancedable.
In effect no good at all.
Won't by them or recommend them to anyone'...

Nankang XR611 215-65-15- Mazda Bongo Friendee November 2, 2012
On my third set of these now, as I found them to be spot on. They are fitted to a Mazda Bongo 4wd, which use to chew through van tires (due to load rating needed) every 10000 miles. These XR611's have been great. I am getting 30k miles from a set,(done around 120k miles in 6 years of ownership) and have never had any problems in the wet. I've had no problems with them off road or on snow either.....although I have Nankang snow tires for winter use now...I hope to get a chance to use them this year!

Federal Super Steel 657 215-65-15-H Mazda Bongo Friendee 20,000 miles December 24, 2010
I am a little surprised by these tires. I bought them because they were well priced. They have an M+S marking on the side wall. They don't look much like a winter tire but they have performed better than expected. I have them on a Mazda Bongo 4 X 4.
I was about to buy a mid range winter but will now not have to. The last two weeks I have travelled through the sort of conditions that have give them a good test. Soft snow above my axle's they still pulled through. No use on ice but you would need studs for that. They don't have an snowflake symbol so the compound must be all season rather than full winter spec. I will now sell my snow chains because I will never bring the Mazda through anything as challenging again.
They seem to be long lasting as well.
