Tires DUNLOP or OEM Volkswagen

DUNLOP Tires

I had a 62 Corvair. Because of the swing axel on the early ones it was a bad idea to use radial tires. I had Dunlop Gold Seal bias ply tires and the car cornered like it was on rails. It was a good car.

Pros: cornered like on rails
Cons: radial tires bad idea
Vehicle: Chevrolet

For a road like this Dunlop Mutant. If you look at what supermoto riders do with them, purely insane. And from my own experience with them, very very good traction even in cold weather around the freezing point or when wet. Does'nt smear when its very hot at least with my 100hp bike and its very good in corners. They look very rough but they run quite smooth. Also you can get ~10k miles out of them.

Pros: very good traction
Cons: look very rough
Mileage: 16093 km

You'll be fine. They're just not good over thick snow or obviously ice. Just stay in the lane that you see is completely dry. I'm still running mine now, its below 10 here in NY and feels in the negatives. Fine in the snowy roads with just traction semi off. No issues. Only sharp turns the tires give out so go slow with moderate throttle.

Pros: fine in snowy roads, no issues
Cons: sharp turns tires give out

No, I made the mistake of driving my car around 40 degrees when it was raining, it was scary. Those tires are trash except when it’s dry and higher than 50 degrees

Cons: tires are trash

Rating 1.0

The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.

Cons: uncomfortable rocks, will fail
