Pirelli P6000

Had four on an Audi A3 sport, within 2 weeks I had two tyres that had bulged and not touched a single curb, decided to scrap them and go for Goodyear Eagle F1 which I was really impressed with. However I sold the audi and unfortunately ended up with 2 on the rear of this Clio I have now, never have I had a front wheel drive car, let alone a Clio which are reputedly good handling have it's rear end slide out with such ferociousness. Even after correcting the oversteer the tyres bit an spun me back round the opposite direction spinning me 270 degrees off of a roundabout exit.

Never ever going anywhere near this absolute awful tyres ever again! They should be illegal.

Dreadful tyres - they caused the Jaguar to follow road imperfections and seams, and to snake about even on rough sections of road. No wonder they do this, as they have a massive wide central groove I suppose! Grip was not great either. Replaced with Uniroyal Rainsport 2's which are better in every way...

Personally I have to say that this is the worst tyre I have ever had on a car. Not only does in not grip in wet or dry conditions but they're also quite expensive compared to other tyres. Very unsatisfied. WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN!!!

Dry grip is good with a nice progressive feel, you know when the tyres are approaching there limit.

Wet grip is no so good and the tyres do loose traction on sharper bends or with more aggresive driving. They are still fairly progressive however, and you know when they are struggling.

They are a comfy tyre to drive on the mixture of roads that we have in the UK and they provide a good lifespan.

One criticism is the aquaplaning resistance could be improve.

That said, these are a much better tyre than the Pirelli P7 I replaced them with. I'd have bought these P6000's again with that joy called hindsight.

Noisier than previous tyres and 11,000 miles for average driving mostly a lightly loaded car seems poor. Generally not impressed.

How the P6000 can be considered a high performance tyre is beyond me. These things appear to be made of Bacolite rather than rubber - I sewar you can see a crystalline twinking in the tread in sunlight.

They are hopeless in the dry and hopeless in the wet and a fantastic way to take a performance car and make it broadly comparable with a Korean shopping trolley in ability. They must be outright dangerous on mid or rear engined vehicles.

On the upside they last for ever, but unless you only care about owning a performance vehicle rather than driving one then steer well clear.

These are the OE tyres for the vehicle & they're very impressive to say the least. They hold a car of this is on the road very well. As they wear they lose a bit of grip in the wet but that is to be expected.
Only issue I have now is they're no longer made & I have to find something similar to replace them as I don't like the look of the new P6.

I have just started driving (only around 1 year) and have found that this tyre will last time after time. However, it does seem to be quite rigid, therefore, it is quite hard to know whether or not you are skidding, I have found with these on a Ford Focus, it is best to be mindful of the slide juddering that the entire car makes, as opposed to sensing it via the stearing column. I have just been driving in the snow and ice [22/12/09] and have found that it does perform well on the stuff when moving, but... if you stop the car in the stuff only for a moment, you might find your car is struggling to make and exit with the P6000.

10,000 miles on a rear set. Very easy driving around Ireland, mostly on Primary Routes and Motorways. Checked tyres 3 weeks ago and all seemed fine. About 500 miles covered since then and noticed this afternoon how bald they appeared. Replaced in local garage straight away. Would never buy Pirelli again.
