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.
Personally, I will never not recommend Maxxis Re-Fuse. Crappy city streets strewn with broken everything, one puncture in a dozen years. I’m on my third pair only because treads wear out. Not the greatest rolling resistance, apparently, but not really a concern for me
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
Mine held up really well and was decent on the road and hard dirt and gravel.
Loose stuff though? Not a fan.
I had my WRX for a year and a half, and the entirety of it spent on the stock Dunlop tires.
Above 50°F, go ham. Have fun. They're great.
Below 50°F, don't take high speed corners. If you normally go 40 around a corner, go 35 instead.
That being said, I never lost traction with them, even in 40°F rain. The only time they ever broke loose was when there was snow on the ground, which is expected.
404s are pretty shit, tbh. Even Shinkos are a significant improvement. The 777 and the 230 Tour Master walk the 404.
The Dunlops didn’t seem all that grippy though; I felt the rear start to slide out inexplicably on a tight turn on a clean road that was only slightly rough and I didn’t feel like I was really pushing the bike all that much - just light throttle and was riding smoothly.
