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.

Accelera 651 Sport 215-45-17 Mitsubishi Evo 4 500 miles October 16, 2026

These are fitted to my mitsubishi Evo IV . Running around 380hp.

They are only really used in the drive where they are delivering a stellar performance. I have driven them in the rain where they performed really well

Bridgestone Potenza RE001 205-55-16- Mitsubishi Evo 4 5,000 miles May 10, 2021
I have an evolution 4 lancer and drag race with these tires on 500hp. My 60ft. Time is 1.8 seconds and 11.5 on the 1/4 mile. For a street tire the grip is amazing !!!!!

Toyo T1R 215-45-17-W Mitsubishi Evo 4 3,000 miles April 3, 2018
I have used toyo t1r's for a number of years and have had a set on my Mitsubishi evo 4 (running 380 bhp) for over 3 years. Never had any grip issues in the wet or dry. laterally or in in straight line. They have enough grip to stop the wheel spinning up when you do a 5k launch!

One thing i do wonder is whether or not Toyo have changed the compound as i see some advertised with a wet braking score of "c" and some with a wet braking score of "e". i know the ones i bought were rated as "e" and TBH they are great in any condition. Maybe the newer "c" rated tires might be better at braking in a straight line but possibly due to a compound change (or how else do they have different ratings) not so good at lateral movement

to test this out i have bought a set for my Honda CRZ 205 45 17 (not sure on wet grip rating yet.)which i will also test out and post a review. But be sure that these are great tires i had a set fitted to my rear wheel drive r33 GTSt skyline and they coped with 500 bhp and 500 lbs of torque so i'm at a loss to see how they could be so bad on some peoples cars unless they haven't inflated them properly or have geometry issues....

Marshal Matrac FX MU11 225-45-17- Mitsubishi Evo 4 700 miles November 21, 2011
Recently put four of these on my Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and have been pleasantly surprised, they offer plenty of wet and dry grip but i have to agree with the other review that there is some road noise. I push my car hard, especially into and out of corners and the Matrac's really do work well, maybe they just suit my car and wheel combination. Overall very impressed for the money spent.

Toyo T1R 205-50-16- Mitsubishi Evo 4 10,000 miles September 16, 2010
Went off recomendation with these tires, but found they felt almost jelly like when pushing on, thought it would improve when worn in more but never really got confident.

From talking to others they seem better in a lower profile than I was running

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 205-50-16- Mitsubishi Evo 4 500 miles October 25, 2008
These tires fell apart after 1/2 a track day. They are probably OK on the road for avearge driving, but I would not use them for fast raod or track days.
