Tires DUNLOP or Laufenn

No experience with studded tires but I had Dunlop Winter Sport snow tires on my VW GTI VR6 and it was ridiculous. I was able to do the speed limit when I should have been going half that or less, lol.

Finally got a chance to run 5 sessions on the Dunlop Mutant tires at a local track. Overall thoughts - what a great tire. Amazing feel, which is an intangible, but I love how this tire delivers feedback and I really like the profile of the 120/150 combo on my WR250R Supermoto. Overall grip is fantastic but you can definitely feel they do not want to be pushed at a very fast pace like you could on a ContiAttack or Q5. They have way more grip than some older gen tires like the Pilot Power 2CT though, possibly as much as the original Dunlop Q3. The tread pattern does not squirm at all either, felt super stable under trail braking. Wear pattern is also solid but that’s expected with a 250. Highly recommend giving these a try for a do everything set up.

My z900rs came with Dunlop sport max gpr-300s. There is a series of twistiest at the bottom of my road…so lucky! Car takes them at 25mph safely. The z900 with gpr-300’s takes these same twisties at 50-60mph pretty solid and I ain’t no gp racer.

I kept my stock Dunlops for about a year & they did well for me on/off road & with snow.

I know people don’t like the stock tires but when it’s nice and warm out I think they perform pretty well.

My wife tried Q4's once - she loved the feel but completely used up a rear in a weekend on a SV650!

Went sideways driving on ice last year in the OEM Dunlops, and while it was kinda fun, it was terrifying to experience zero traction even at low speed.

Now that I have a proper set of Blizzaks, it’s like night and day. Insane traction and way better stopping power.

The very first storm I had my 22 on stock the Dunlop’s I slid through a whole intersection with abs thumping the whole time I was NOT prepared for how bad they were.

Almost slid into a car last year on the oem dunlops, can confirm they are dog shit wrapped in cat shit
