Finally replacing stock ('15 XT) garbage tires and I know nearly anything will be a huge improvement but thanks in advance for any opinions.
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.
I have Dunlop Graspic DS-3s on my car in the winter and they perform quite well on dry and wet pavement. They are a bit more slippy and the feel is a bit more muddy
Vredestein Quatrac Pro will be my next set. I am so tired of buying Cont, Mich and other high mileage tires that don’t ware even and make noise before tread is gone, then I am stuck with a tire i over paid for and hate riding on. The tread lasts but they never seem to stay quiet.
I got my WRX in March, near the end of the winter season. It snowed heavily one day, and I got stuck trying to go up my driveway because I only had the stock Dunlops. AWD was no replacement for winter tires.
