Tires DUNLOP or Goodyear
The Mk 8 came with some Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports and so far I am liking them a lot. They feel very similar to the PS4S, however I doubt they will last as long.
Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady. Best bang for buck, high quality, last between 45k and 60k miles depending on driving type.
I daily Goodyear mtr tires. Recently drove a 700 mile trip on them. You will hear them, but they aren't that bad. They perform pretty well on road, about the same as the duratracs I had before.
Goodyear Super Car 3 > RS4 if you’re looking at longevity and pace.
MT21 front and D606 rear, both great wear on slab
The D606 rear had a nice price/off-road grip/road handling/distance. I’d get about 4500km before the rear needed changing which was not to bad for the price. The only negative I have with the D606 is it’s not great on wet bitchumen. Very easy to lock the rear and go sideways with the slightest dab of rear break.
Used up two sets on my Xr650l and love them. A bit noisy on the pavement but great off-road
guys at the tire shop i go to said that you get good value for money with dunlop tires. they’re high quality but cost less than bridgestone or michelin. i’ve not noticed much of a difference so far as compared to michelin.
Can confirm , the dunlops are absolute garbage in the snow. Bought a set of beater oem 16 wrx wheels off of marketplace today and will be slapping on some premium awd snow donut shoes tomorrow, almost hit a curb going five mph leaving a stoplight. They have as much traction in snow , as a puck has on a air hockey table.. prepare to buy tires if you live in a winter challenged climate .
Personally I’d go with the Khumos, but that’s mostly because I had a shit experience with Goodyears.
