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.

Nokian Line 205-50-17- Mazda MX6 10,000 miles April 6, 2017
Tire is really hard to heat. Slipping in cornering when cold. In comparision to barum bravuris 3HM i would say it's 7 to 10.
When get warm quite nice grip, but the sidewalls are bit too soft.
Nice braking in rainy conditions, but cornering still average. I expected something more from the tires costs much more than barum ones.

Goodyear EfficientGrip 205-50-16-V Mazda MX6 3,500 miles August 2, 2010
Not a sports tire - noticeable if you've just switched from sports tires - but fine for normal to moderately brisk driving. Quieter and softer ride than a sports tire but lacks the precise on-rails feel when cornering harder than most people do, and tends to go into oversteer when a sports tire could be pushed further.

But most of miles are commuting so I opted for comfort and fuel economy this time. I like the way that when it breaks traction from a fast start it does it in a smooth controllable manner, not in great lurching hops like my previous Proxes did.

Comfort and noise levels are good. The main plus with EfficientGrip is supposed to be better fuel consumption. I measure MPG on every tank so I have a good picture. I am finding about 2-3% improved mileage compared with older sporty/non eco tires. This should add up to a reasonable amount of money over the life of the tires but it's too early to assess wear rate.

I would happily recommend EfficientGrip for everyday driving, not for speed demons.
