Tires DUNLOP or Vredestein
I had Goodyear summer run flats that were extremely rough to ride on. Felt every bump and imperfection in the road. I switched to Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ and it rides very smooth. They're also good for the winter. Would highly recommend
I put 90k on my original Dunlop tires, and will just be replacing them now. Great tires!
I have vredstein pinza on my GL 550 for 7k miles and are very happy with them.
I had two sets of Dunlop Sport on my C class in the past, my opinion are that they are good quality/price ratio but not top tier. I would personally consider getting Dunlop in the future.
The Vredesteins def looked noticeably bigger (taller) than the Yoko Geoloanders they replaced, but that could just be a worn vs new tire. So far so good other than not looking forward to cleaning them regularly lol.
Since virtually all of my driving is on pavement, I went the running shoe route with a set of the Vredestein Hypertracs. They've been excellent, in the dry, the wet, and light snow.
I bought a set of Sportsmart mk3 last year on my mt09, and I have to say, It's the best choice I've made. The rear is now done after 15k kms, and I ride quite aggressive, power wheelies, fast twisties. I didn't expect it to last this long.
got 15k km on mine at this moment, still enough thread but dry rot is starting to slowly set in on the front because I used it all year round, and salt did its thing. It's still usable, but will replace soon.
Having worked at a Porsche dealership I’ve seen Dunlops wear out ridiculously fast. I’d be looking at a comparable Michelin or Conti to replace it with.
I have a pair of Dunlop Wintermaxx’s and they seemed like great tires, very gripping with dry roads. However, when it rains or is wet, they seem to absolutely suck. I start skidding/sliding even on simple turns at low speeds, even in a round a bout.
