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.

What Toyota Altezza drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Had these tires for just over a year now. Very happy with dry & wet grip vs. cost. I previously had Goodyear Eagle F1 Asy2 but didn't really need that level of performance anymore. They're as good in nearly every aspect as the F1s, probably even better resistance to aquaplaning, lower rolling resistance & quieter on smooth seal but do lack outright lateral grip when pushed. The side walls seem to be a lot softer but they do give you warning you're at the limit.
I've probably done about 7000 km on them now but they're not showing any signs of wear & still had approx. 7mm of tread on my last WOF (MOT) check done recently. I'll be happy if I get 40-50K km out of them.

CAUTION WITH OPTING THESE IN LOW PROFILE.
After significant testing and lengthy court issue against Mag and Turbo for fitting these - the verdict is that the low profile Accelera tire is considered not suitable to fit for low profile. The pattern and fit of these particular tires has caused the turn in of the tire at both low and high speed test to dismount themselves from the wheel. This has been tested multi times with the same result. I had major damage inflicted to my wheels as a result - Mag&Turbo/Accelera had no recourse until court ruled with independence test undertaken by AA compliance NZ.
In my opinion THESE TYRE SHOULD NOT BE SOLD.

Love these tire. Would be happy to buy them again. And would tell others to try them.
I am driving on my Toyota Altezza with this tire. I felt a dramatic difference in the feel of the drive from my old tire. This is a sporty car and entry level luxury car. Grip is superb even in high speed cornering. Reasonable price with all god features.I am driving in Colombo, Srilanka. Very triffic roads. Infrequently in highways too. I am not commenting about the durability now because of I drove only a 4000km on these tires. However, I can assure it will last longer because even after 4000km, tires are looking like new. Treadwear is 320. It is good. In short, this is a tire with all features like grib, comfort and durability in good balance with reasonable price. Good tire for a sporty and high profile car.
had rainsport 2 was very impressed with it .did step forward got rainsport 3.

DO NOT WASTE TIME IN READING THESE REVIEWS, IT IS VALUABLE TIME WASTED WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THESE TYRES!!!
Honestly... i have had these on my toyota altezza RS200Z and they are absolutely fantastic! I drive hard on a daily basis, have driven to lemans and to east germany covering over 8000KM on one set and they are absolutely amazing.. I have only ever experienced slight understeer once while on positive road camber due to moderate braking. so fun to zoom about on and quiet when you drive about slowly too :) i love them! :D

Excellent all round tire, best available for the money and a lot better than some of the other tires that cost 50% more.
I use these tires on the rear of my car that I use for drifting as they are cheap, fairly hard wearing and provide very little grip. I would not recommended these tires to anyone who isn't comfortable with understeer or oversteer
Great on wet roads especially if you drive a FR or RWD cars....
