Tires DUNLOP or WEST LAKE
Westlake SW608s. The best!
Once the q4s are over like, 70 degrees, or basically u ride a few miles on the turns gently, they'll be warm enough and will stick like glue.
I did 15k mi on a rear Dunlop RoadSmart II and 25k on the front.
My rear tire lasts 12000 miles or 20000 kilometers easily, the front probably more.
I have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.
I loved the Sottozero 3's on my previous STi. I got a set of Dunlop WinterMaxx on my R now (got them on sale from TireRack when I got winter wheels) and while they're fine and even good in the snow, they are horrific on wet pavement.
Any tire sold in the us is safe to put on your car, the west lake rp18 is a knock off of a continental tire, I have heard good things about it in terms of value for money
I absolutely hated the stock gpr-300s on my ninja. In the dry they worked fine (only lowsided twice in a parking lot from trying to make the smallest possible circles), but I slid out constantly in the wet (thankfully never crashed) at normal lean angles and not very much throttle. I replaced them after about 4k miles.
About 2 years ago I had 4 Dunlop Conquest Touring tires installed on my 2015 Passat. About 5 months ago, less than 15,000 miles we noticed a groaning sound coming from the passenger side rear. I had all 4 tires rotated and now the noise is coming from the passenger side front. This was more annoying than having the groaning noise come from the rear so we had them rotated back again. The \"dealer\" said it was due to cupping and that's common with Dunlop.
I knew I fucked up immediately after get 2 Westlake front tires for my Honda Civic because of how cheap it is. As soon as these fuckers are worn out, it’s quality from now on.
