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.
All seasons can be great but on warm dry pavement these are excellent tires.
I got 250 for mine with less than 200 miles on them
Dunlop Q5s if you're only doing dry days. Way more grip than the Road 6's.
I personally love my q5. I'm running a novice pace, but I love the confidence they inspire. I have zero questions about the level of grip I have. The rear does get greasy after 3-4 days however.
I ran these tires once to save money. You can get a knee down but noticably less traction than something like an s22. Afterwords I switched to michelin power 5's, loved them.
My experience with the plain Q5 is that that are super sensitive to pressure, 30 cold rear was tearing, 31 was minimal, and 32 was pretty clean with smooth throttle on and pretty rough pavement.
About 105k miles. Got rid of them because the tires were beginning to get really bad dry rot. Still had a ton of tread left.
Mine came with dunlops and all four had to be replaced after about 16k due to dry rot.
The dunlop d214 is not great. Look at the dunlop roadsmart 3 or 4.
