Tires DUNLOP or OEM Volkswagen

ive done some track days with my q5s at 22 cold and target temp hot for me is about 28-29psi rear. wears perfectly and zero tears

I love the Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2 on my GT4. Amazing tires. Never thought I’d like a tire more than the Michelin Cup2.

I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.

I got 77500 miles on my Dunlops before changing to Defenders 2. Defenders 2 feel much better.

Der Satz Reifen Dunlop Sport Maxx RT (nicht der 2er) hat mich das letzte Mal in den Dimensionen 225/40 R18 91Y knapp unter 300 Euro gekostet.

I've also run these tires for two winters. They are average at best for a winter. Do they get you around safe compared to all season or the oem summers, for sure. But in the world of winter tires, they have pretty bad traction on hard pack and ice.

short life but very grippy, I ended up getting some Pirellis and gave the Dunlop's to a drift buddy for his fronts, and he loved em, granted they didn't last long.

It’s definitely the crap tires. Same on my ‘25 Rogue. Bought with my 3 miles of test drive on 1/3/25… now at 18k hwy miles the tread wear indicators are showing. I think they will need replaced at 20k.

In contrast - 2 of them were slashed at 1k miles. I replaced those two with Goodyear MaxLife. 17k miles later, the Dunlops are almost gone, the Goodyears show little to no wear whatsoever.

Dunlop Grandtek PT21’s are TOTAL CRAP.

Those tires came on my RAV4 and were garbage. Lasted 35K before I got new ones. After changing to new tires it made me realize how awful those were. They ride like shit, are loud and wear very fast. Won’t even buy a Dunlop tire again.

Apparently OE Dunlop tires are designed to wear into slicks down the centre and this isn't due to overinflation by the first owner of my 2021 FWD. But I will never choose Dunlops when I do replace the tires.
