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.

Vredestein Snowtrac 3 205-55-16- Mazda MX5 bbr tuned 2,000 miles April 7, 2022
Bought a cheap winter set to replace my Cup2 tires. And I did not have high hopes. A sportscar with a track set up on winter tires? But it was pretty good. The overall grip was fine, and the steering was "ok". I know winter tires are worse in pretty much every metric if compared to a tire like the cup2. But when I visited the Nurburgring in the snow I was doing very good with my mx5. Never got stuck once, had loads of grip on the snow, and even drove a 200 km/h on them. Pro's: Works amazing in the snow Works fine in the wet Has pretty oke steering feedback for a winter tire Costs (i bought them second-hand at 10 years old) still holding up very nicely Cons: - You do lose also steering feedback, I thought it would be worse but still, you lose a lot. - Dry grip, they squeal infinitely when driving a little bit too hard (what on a ps4/cup2 is normal driving). - Dry and wet breaking is a lot longer, you really feel it keeps locking the abs in order to stop. - Noise, they make a lot of it, (i think due to the thread) - Floaty feeling at higher speeds, at 120+ you can really feel the car starting to float on the tire, the steering becomes imprecise and you start bouching from line to line since a small correction in the wheel can only be felt 0,5 sec later. So you are always overcompensating. However, for my first winter tire experience, I was very surprised, it got me where I had to go I always felt safe and it drove fine. I realize I am spoiled with always driving on the cup2 and ps4, so I'm used to a lot of grip in combination with a track setup mx5. But me saying I like the tires means something.

as well as 2500 miles through France down to Spain and back....never a problem.
