Tires DUNLOP or WEST LAKE

16X7 MSW Type Silver Rims 205/55R Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D Tires Used on a 2012 GLI

I kept my stock Dunlops for about a year & they did well for me on/off road & with snow.

Mag 5 years na westlake na gulong ko. Wala naman naging issue.

Okay naman ang Westlake sa experience ko. Mapa city driving or long drive. This is perfect for my budget and usage. Di naman ako daily drive so I opted to buy Westlake tires para makatipid na din.

The only weird na nanotice ko is parang ang ingay na gulong pagdinadaan sa baha.

The summer Dunlops that come with the VB are not good for winter use. I'd suggest getting winter tires or at least all weather tires to be on the safe side. I got Michelin CrossClimate 2's and will be rolling into winter with those here in eastern Oregon.

I know people don’t like the stock tires but when it’s nice and warm out I think they perform pretty well.

My wife tried Q4's once - she loved the feel but completely used up a rear in a weekend on a SV650!

The dunlop d214 is not great. Look at the dunlop roadsmart 3 or 4.

Dunlops are my least favorite tires. They suck and gpr300’s, which you have, are cheap even for Dunlops.

Overall experience with the stock tires was great at first then after 4-5 months I couldn’t bear them. They did alright in the snow and ice but i was also super careful and it doesn’t snow bad where I live.
