Pirelli P6000

I got 2 front Pirelli P6000 on Thursday, I feel already it has made a big difference when driving, I had Continental Conti-sport ones before but I prefer these, better to steer, really comfortable and looking forward to test them out on a long distance journey.

I am using P6000 on my cars for many many years without any problem and with good mileage. Roadholding is superb wet or dry with very little noise. I was allways prepared to pay a premium for these tyres. However the present set only lasted 23750 miles while the previous set lasted almost 30000 miles on the same car with the same driver and same conditions. I have had the tyres rotated and balanced every 6250 miles as recommended. Will I buy them again -maybe but not at a premium.

Just had these tyres fitted to my mondeo last week. Very comfortable tyres which are ideal for cruising and deal really well with our potholed roads. Major drawback is that these tyres produce a steering wobble from 60mph upwards and it gets worse as the speed rises. Have had them re balanced four times by Kwik Fit and twice by my local Ford dealer and the wobble is still there. These tyres are going back and it's a pity as they are so comfortable. Apparently the steering wobble is a well documented problem on the internet and I'm kicking myself for not checking first before purchasing.

absolutely shcoking, fairly expensive to buy so would not pick these anyway for that price when there are better tyres available at better prices.poor in wet, easy to spin up without trying up to 3rd gear in the wet,dont inspire too much confidence even in the dry. however they dont seem to have worn a lot in the 4000 miles i have owned them either.

Decent tyre for the price at 49 pounds per corner fitted.

Dry grip very ordinary, wet grip terrible. Wear rate high!
On car when bought, will replace with different tyres.

Unfortunately I bought the car with 2 x P6000s on the rear, after having a previous experience with these tyres I knew how bad they were but they still had about 1mm before they'd get to the legal limit wear markers so I decided to leave them on till the end of their life which was approximately just over 3,000 miles, I would guess from that, that they should last in the region of 20-30,000 miles on the motorway on the rear of a small front engined, front wheel drive car, so nothing amazingly special about their wear rate.

In the dry, these tyres are distinctly average, road feedback is okay and grip is okay but definitely not confidence inspiring, I can't comment on road noise as my little diesel is quite noisy.

In the wet is when these tyres should be banned from being on the road, they are so poor I can't begin to describe, I have never known of a front engine front wheel drive cars rear end to spin out so erratically and without warning when it's wet, I've always expected understeer when cornering but never uncontrollable oversteer which happened on atleast 5 occasions in the past 3,000 miles. It made me make my already pretty easy driving even more laid back.

I can't believe they're advertised as midranged tyres when they perform like budget tyres.

Personally I won't go anywhere near these tyres again, or any Pirelli's for that matter.

easily worn, not much life..
