Tires DUNLOP or VITOUR

Ended up getting the set as we're going to have some snow and had a road trip north. I immediately noticed the tires are a lot more forgiving over bumps, and the car feels a lot more smooth than before.

Vitour Galaxy R1 155R15, $63.89 each

Why a solid rib down the center?

These are vintage VW beetle size, 15 inch rim 4.5 inch wide. FWIW they have good reviews on the seller's website

The stock tires actually perform quite well (my stock were Dunlop AT20 Grandtreks). For anything other than mud, fantastic. Sand and greenlaning were no problem.

Great tire with awesome grip; however I prefer the q4 because the 5s wear out faster.

The Q5/Q5S is a good fire and has great grip with relatively low maintenance in the sense that you don't need to run warmers. What does suck is the wear, which is pretty aggressive ????

My dunlops had about 8-9k miles on them and were down to 3/32" front, and 4/32" rear.

They are super grippy so they wear faster.

I never had any slipping in the rain.

A few weeks ago, on my brand new 2023 base model I swapped out my stock Dunlops for the Continental DWS06 Plus A/S tires and have been miserable since. Yes the Continentals did their job on a recent ski trip where the roads were a mix of ice, wet and snow, but on dry roads I feel like the car handling has diminished significantly (sidewall flex) and just don’t enjoy driving it in a spirited way now. The Dunlops are a bit of a harsher ride and nosier but I’ll take that anyway over these Continentals in conditions without ice or snow.

Horrible. 7500 miles on the OEM tires. Replaced them with Cross Climate 2’s.

Old post but I’ll chime in. I’m currently running them on a ninja 400 and I don’t like them. I ride hard and ride at the track. These step out all the time and are not confidence inspiring. I’ve lost the rear a couple of times at heavy lean and nearly lost the front today (saved them all). They don’t warm up quickly either.

Dunlops are trash. However, they are quieter than Yokohamas on 19.
