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.

Yokohama Advan A10 215-45-18-W Mitsubishi Lancer VR Sportback 19,000 miles January 21, 2015

Really disappointing wear they have suffered, the change because they have lost grip and wear suffered has been severe, without aggressive driving. The front two are completely smooth on the inside (possibly either by misalignment, even that if he left the factory is by the fall of the front axle) but after five years the change for two reasons the desgate primarily and how long they have mounted. I will never buy this brand, also far Car Series is 215-45 R18 and 225/40 R18 now be installing some that are much more economical.

Not tested on snow yet, but they're great on icy road with sub-zero temperature. Also great on wet road and rainy conditions. On mountain roads, with ice, it seems to run on railways!

Yokohama Advan A10 215-45-18- Mitsubishi Lancer VR Sportback 25,000 miles February 22, 2013

Handled well in the dry, couldn't lose grip if I wanted to. However, a completely different story in the wet, moist, snow, or ice. I don't drive that aggressively but I could feel the limit of grip more often than I should have. Noise was okay, getting pretty loud over 65mph though. The main downfall of these tires is that they wore down so quickly. Properly balanced they only lasted 25,000 miles. I'm in the military so most (about 85%) of that mileage is motorway miles.

Federal SS535 225-55-16-V Mitsubishi Lancer VR Sportback 45,500 miles November 30, 2009

These tires grip very well in the dry, and you can feel when they are at thier limit in the dry as well before they let go.

However in the wet, they are very average, generally have to warm up the tires before you get decent grip out of them, otherwise they don't grab when cold and in rain and there's not near as much progressiveness in grip limit as in the dry.

The tires lasted 38,000km's on a CJ MY09 Lancer, spirited road driving as well as 1 track day 3 laps. Very long and hard wearing, but the grip towards the end of the wear is not good, especially in wet.

They are a harder compound tire than most, so comfort is average, and tire noise is average. But good considering the dry grip you get out of them.

I've already bought a second set, because for the amoount of kms you get for the dry grip, the price is excellent.
