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.

Neuton NT5000 225-40-19- Mercedes Benz C55 Sedan 30,000 miles May 15, 2021
I have these on C55 AMG, which are very hard to align because front castor always looking for low side of road, and only toe adjustable without aftermarket bolts, which i ended up buying to set it correctly after many failed attempts without. I also have 19x8.5j Brabus rims which were off ML55/63 with their ET+64 which is extremely high, so required running 2" adaptors on rear and 1.5 front to fit around brakes and fill guards, but which has effectively spread track of the car and with these Neutrons, now that alignment is perfected, handling is unbelievable, like a go-kart. On the twisties in NZ, I can easily go through tight corners TWICE the recommend speed and she just hangs on. Yesterday, on long drive in up mountain pass, I went around corners with so much g-force, that the front drivers side tire actually let go of the rim before the road, I could hear it fluttering, then went limp and is if flat. Sure enough, at gas station, it had lost 37psi to 9psi. After research last night, this is because 225 on 8.5j is stretched, risking not proper seal around bead, or something. But moral here; Neutons on my car let go of rim before road, incredible grip. I would happily buy them again, slightly wider 235 size for less stretch.

Dunlop SportMaxx RT 245-40-17-W Mercedes Benz C55 Sedan 5,000 miles January 16, 2014
These tires look great and handle better on the road. However, after 6 months I need a new set of tires. The tread wear is crap. These tires give up tread wear for extreme performance. I would only recommend for a track car.

Continental Sport Contact 3 245-40-18-V Mercedes Benz C55 Sedan 10,000 miles December 2, 2013
OK tires I guess but when getting to the 5mm mark they do tend to aquaplane in puddles of water. Poor grip when tire is still cold, but once warmed up grip improves.

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 245-40-18-W Mercedes Benz C55 Sedan 10,000 miles December 30, 2009
I drive a 2005 Mercedes C55 AMG Kleemann S7 (over 450rwhq) - This by far, bar none is the best tire I have ever owned. The grip that this provides over other tires I have had on the car is biblical in comparison. Either on the autocross track (gritty surface to blacktop), this tire grips. I guess the best explination would be highlighted when I am on the bleeding edge of grip around a turn...at the point that most tires would break loose, these tires just hold on. I cant tell you how many times I have thought to myself, man, how the -------- did those tires grip like that...
As impressive as they are on a nice summer dry day, they are equally impressive in the rain. If you have a car with traction problems (yes you cobra's, vettes, merc's) ...higher TQ cars ... these are the tires for you. 10+ ...if this was the bar, nothing would ever be up to standard.
