I'm running 205 50 17 on oem vw Gavia 17x6.5 et 46 for Winter and 225 45 17 on oem vw Valencia 17x7.5 et 51 for Summer. These are the recommended oem sizes.
Pros: recommended oem sizes

I have these on my 4runner (265/70/17), I bought it with them on there so I'm not sure the exact mileage, but im happy with them. Work good on my red clay dirt road when it's rained.
Pros: Work good on dirt
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 20000 km
I bought a 95 ranger that had a new set of these tires. I drove with the for about 1,000 miles before switching to the good year wranglers just because of preference. But I didn’t have any problems with them they were surprisingly quiet and rode smooth.
Pros: quiet, rode smooth
Cons: preference for Goodyear
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Mileage: 1000 km
I’ve had them for 2 years now. Decent off-road grip (gravel, dirt, slow trail crawls, deep snow, soft sand). They’re good enough that with the price I’d get another set and it doesn’t as much to replace.
Pros: decent off-road grip
Vehicle:
Jeep
I used to always buy Goodyear sport tires for bmw 328i but recently I’ve purchased dextero they are half the price and perform well. I haven’t had any problems with them in the last 2-3 years I’ve bought them
Pros: perform well, half price
Cons: none
Vehicle:
BMW
I have dexteros on an older suburban, they seem to wear ok, traction is less than the pirellis that came off (really down graded) so they are ok and have been a safe tire they are probably half the price of the pirellis that were removed.
Pros: wear ok, safe tire
Cons: less traction
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Suburban
Mine came with 19” Montevideo which have been turned into dedicated winter setup, I upgraded to 20’s. The ride isn’t horrible tbh but it is worse, but you will for ever have that feeling of butthole pucker up lol every time you slightly even see a pothole.
Pros: 20's look better
Cons: ride isn't horrible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I think the single largest shortcoming is the tires. After that, probably the suspension. After I owned it for about 6 months I noticed that driving over potholes and speedbumps was not nearly as good as I was expecting out of a lifted car.
Cons: driving over potholes not good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have them on my 2016 Colorado and they get flat spots and vibrate just From sitting over night???? don’t buy these they balance like trash too, I’m a tire technician and I change tires all the time and I can say these are the worst tires I ever tried to balance
Cons: flat spots, vibrate, balance bad
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Colorado
