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.

Sailun Atrezzo Elite 195-55-15-H Skoda Fabia 1.6TDI 100 miles July 29, 2016
Just had a complete set of Sailum Atrezzo Elite tires fitted to my Skoda Fabia. Have driven them on a mixture of twisty country roads and dual carriageway in bot the wet and dry. Very impressed with the road feel of these budget priced tires. They feel very positive in grip yet give good cushioning on our potholed roads. My previous tires were Michelin and considerably higher cost, yet the ride comfort was a lot less. No wear data as yet. If you are a conservative driver of a car that is used for commuting, driving into town and the occasional long trip, I consider these tires a good and very economic choice.

BFGoodrich gGrip 225-45-17- Skoda Fabia 1.6TDI Monte Carlo 19,000 miles August 1, 2014
I bought these Tires as that's all they had in at the time when I'd had a blow out & I probably would never have gone for them as I'm a fan of the Uniroyal rainsport 2's, but Im so happy that I did, from the off they offered all round grip in wet and dry condition and never showed any signs of letting go, even on spirited drives and now when they are on the bar markers and grip is still great albeit I don't push it in the wet now, but all in all a great tire, wear is great as I generally get about 12-15000 miles out of front tires in my job and these are now on 19000 miles so I will deffo be getting another set.

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 225-45-17- Skoda Fabia 1.6TDI Monte Carlo 18,000 miles February 4, 2013
Great tires. Gave me 18k of good driving on the fronts. Nice positive feedback in wet and dry.

Falken FK452 225-45-17- Skoda Fabia 1.6TDI Monte Carlo 14,000 miles February 4, 2013
Great tires. A good alternative to the Dunlop SportMaxxs that came on my car. Only downside is where the Dunlops gave me 18k on the fronts, the falkens gave me 14k.

Analysing the cost, with fitting, the Dunlops only cost 6 quid more per 10k for a set of fronts. So its a hard choice to pick the one over the other.
