These were on my R32 (as shown) and only saw 5-6k on the roads, and were stored winters. That said, tires are more of a gimme than anything else. With the off camber/toe wear from a substantially lowered R you lose a lot of inner tread.
I've run Dunlop Wintersport 3D's for going on 4 years. They're great in snow aswell as just on cold pavement.
I've been running Dunlop Direzza Z-1 StarSpecs on the track and on the street with no issues, still on OEM 18" wheels. NYC potholes have not been kind to me either, but no bubbles.
pretty sure i had some Dunlops on my GTI a decade ago or more, and would buy them again, too.
Had a bunch o different Dunlops on three different cars and they're far better economy tires than the sumitomos or coopers I've used.
Star Specs - 90% of the Bridgestone at 80% of the price.
The original Dunlops (can't remember exact tire now) on the RX8 were useless below 35 degrees. I couldn't even take off gingerly without the traction control and ESC lights going crazy. But in the warm they were quite good.
The OEM Dunlops on my 12 GLI suck in the wet and I'm sure they would be worse in the snow.
I had a Falken Ziex 512 tire explote on the highway so I switched to Dunlop Direzza DZ101s and it's probably the worst rain tire I've had, I'm spinning tires everywhere... straight line, turning, braking.
you probably had the same OEM dunlops that i had. those things were absolute garbage. i drove for a year in fear of driving over windy bridges with those things. after i changed tires, it was a whole new car.
