I run Audi A3 17" wheels with Dunlop 3D sport winters. They're not the best snow tire, but they are significantly better than an all season and I have yet to have any issues getting around. Car feels stables, and brakes are actually effective unlike with all seaons.
when i had my 03 wolfsburg i ran 225/45/17 dunlop signature HP's, amazing tire for the money
17" VW/Ronal Sima with Dunlop Wintersport 4D. Really happy with this combo.
Dunlop SportMaxx RT. Best bang for buck IMO.
I installed Dunlop sport max RT summer tires and they work great and were priced good, I've had them on all winter too and I've driven them in 20-30° weather and they still performed very good, although I'm happy overall with the tire, they're almost worn out.
I wish there were more options but the OEM Dunlops are wearing well -- only about halfway worn at 25k miles. They are decent, quiet and have good grip (wet braking is very good) so I might just buy another set of them when the time comes.
Drove in the rain with the Dunlop Saturday. The traction control came on a few times, but I think its due more to the amount of low-end torque the GLI makes. Now it wasn't difficult to drive, just watch how much throttle you give it.
Stock Dunlops are garbage. I barely got 17kish out of mine and they were at 3/32".
I'm on ZII's on my "street wheels" and while they're fine for around town, I've never liked them from a performance perspective. Compared to the purpose built 200TW cheater tires (e.g. RE71R, RT660, RS4) the ZII's give up a LOT of grip and probably seconds per lap at a racetrack.
They did ok on the track for a summer tire (240tw) but I think next season I'm going with something else. For the life of me I could not corner in these
