Tires DUNLOP or OEM Volkswagen
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.
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.
I’ve experienced some tearing on my q5s, however that’s when I wasn’t running warmers and was a bit too excited on my outlap.
I'm not sure if they fixed it, but I got Q5S when they first came out and they had HORRIBLE wear issues. The rear tires tore like crazy despite running recommended pressures.
Yes.... they suck a** in the snow. I got stock in a parking lot in my 17 on the stock Sport Maxx's. Also crab-walking from a traffic light.
For those who wonder, don’t!! I thought they would be all season, not shit ass summer road tires. Well… 0 control with \~ 1” of snow. Thankfully < 15mph but even ABS couldn’t fire or work. $3k cost for blizzaks, rims and $1000 deductible later.
