Tires DUNLOP or OEM Toyota

I have the dunlops on my S4, and I'm quite happy with them. They' have about 10k miles on them, and are wearing better than I expected. For the price, you won't be disappointed.

I have ~90,000 miles of winter driving under my belt, and will say that these Winter Sport 4D tires are probably the best that I've ever used.

I got 3500 out of a Q3 rear before I replaced it last week. Including a bunch of hooligan rear tire skids too. Im happy with mine.

They last about as long as my Power 3s used to, I have about 2000 miles on my rear and probably have another 1500 left before I start showing steel.

If I had to choose between the Kumho, the Dunlop and the Goodyear, I'd pick the Dunlop.

Both are not at the top of the current offerings...but the ZII is better than the NT05. Make sure you have a sprayer to keep them cool because grip falls off a cliff once they get hot.

Drove in the rain with the Dunlop Saturday. The traction control came on a few times, but I think its due more to the amount of low-end torque the GLI makes. Now it wasn't difficult to drive, just watch how much throttle you give it.

Below 40F the tires get hard and lose grip. Add a little bit of snow and they are slick as fuck. The awd helps but the overall loss of traction makes driving sketch as fuck.

Stock Dunlops are garbage. I barely got 17kish out of mine and they were at 3/32".

I'm on ZII's on my "street wheels" and while they're fine for around town, I've never liked them from a performance perspective. Compared to the purpose built 200TW cheater tires (e.g. RE71R, RT660, RS4) the ZII's give up a LOT of grip and probably seconds per lap at a racetrack.
