Tires DUNLOP or Shinko
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.
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
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 am back to the Bridgestone BATTLAX T31(t) after a year on Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart III.
The Dunlop Sportmax was quite noisy, which I did not like.
Overall experience with the stock tires was great at first then after 4-5 months I couldn’t bear them. They did alright in the snow and ice but i was also super careful and it doesn’t snow bad where I live.
They came stock on my 2012 Taco. I hated them. They were excellent at getting stuck in mud and losing traction in the rain.
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.
