Tires DUNLOP or OEM Subaru

16X7 MSW Type Silver Rims 205/55R Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D Tires Used on a 2012 GLI

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

The summer Dunlops that come with the VB are not good for winter use. I'd suggest getting winter tires or at least all weather tires to be on the safe side. I got Michelin CrossClimate 2's and will be rolling into winter with those here in eastern Oregon.

All seasons can be great but on warm dry pavement these are excellent tires.

I got 250 for mine with less than 200 miles on them

Chinese tires now are pretty decent and are a bargain. The only serious issues I've faced surprisingly were from branded ones - I've had bubbles on Yokohama and Dunlop.

Mine held up really well and was decent on the road and hard dirt and gravel.

Loose stuff though? Not a fan.

The 18 inch wheels with low profile tires are rough, loud, and I've had 2 flats. The stock dunlop tires suck.

They ride like shit on the road, I’m sorry.

They blow. Not great in rain either.
