I kept my stock Dunlops for about a year & they did well for me on/off road & with snow.
I’ve been with the Kumho Ecstas and they’ve been a dream. One of the better mid range tires to replace the oem with.
I put Kumho Crugen HT51 at the advice of a trusted tire guy. They are only a few weeks old but so far so good at the price he got em on for.
I had these on my Autocross car last season. I changed to the Kumho V730 early this season and it’s a game changer.
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.
Kumhos rock. I’ve always been pleased with mine.
I had them on a car. Rode nice and quiet. Great rain traction. belt did end up breaking in one tire causing a tumor and another was starting to fail after 6 years.
Kumho Ecstas aren’t the best but they’re very affordable and do the job well. More grip, quieter and better ride than OEM.
The Dunlops didn’t seem all that grippy though; I felt the rear start to slide out inexplicably on a tight turn on a clean road that was only slightly rough and I didn’t feel like I was really pushing the bike all that much - just light throttle and was riding smoothly.
Which slick do you have exactly? I ran the d212 medium and endurance. Absolutely hated them. The medium got destroyed in one day. Started losing grip after 3 sessions already. Then I tried the endurance compound, but it also lasted only 2 days and kept losing grip. Apparently they are very sensitive to pressure, temperature and shock settings.
