Pirelli P6000

Worst tyre I have EVER had this misfortune of using. Unfortunately these were fitted to my car when I bought it. The car in question a 423bhp S4, what possessed the last owner to run these is beyond me. If it rains and you drive with any intention whatsoever you are going to end up in a hedge. However if you like driving around at speeds that cause large queues to form behind you then these are the tyre for you as they do last well.
How these are still being sold I do not know, for the money there are WAY better tyres out there. Do yourself and your wallet a favour and get some Falken 452/ Toyo T1R/ Khumo KU39 or Rainsport 2 if on a budget.

They lasted 20k on a front end heavy diesel with mainly motorway driving withs bits and pieces of town and country roads.

Dry grip was good and wet grip was ok and for 50 quid per corner for a premium tyre i was happy with the price.

Now im not going to say these are as good as Conti 3 or Michellin PS2 as they are not, but for what the cars capabilities are I was happy.

I always used to buy the P6000 as it was recommended for my car. It was only when I tried another set of tyres (Toyo Proxes) that I came to understand what overpriced crap these Pirelli tyres are. As many others have said, if it rains prepare to bring a change of underpants for the trip. I used to live in Coventry, this was bad enough but the ring road roundabouts in the wet was mental, the back end would step out without any provocation. I finally had enough when I spun the car in the wet on a slip road of the M90 at only 30mph. At least it highlighted to me the importance of tyres and for winter I now have Goodyear Ultragrip 8. Dear Pirelli, stick to making calenders.

i have uesed 2 sets off 205,45,16 pirelli p6000 tyre on my vectra 2.5v6 and they lasted a good 20k each time i now drive a zafira GSI with 225,45,17 and have done about 8k with them and they show no sine off wear yet both the vectra and the zafira get drive how they should be driven if you no what i meen and they work well in all conditions i would recomend them.

Are you a Sunday driver who likes pottering around at 40 everywhere you go? Even through villages (you know who you are) then these tyres will be fine and last years.

Do you fancy yourself as the next Lewis Hamilton? Then the first time you try to take a corner in the wet your undoubtedly going to die.

Very good tyre for most of year, not great in ice and snow. Generally get about 30k from fronts and 40 from rears.

Fitted these to the front wheels to replace the god awful Dunlop SP Sport tyres which are standard fitment on my car, which fine in the dry but like greasy trays in the damp.

The difference between these and the P6000's are like night and day. Excellent grip in all conditions, but I noticed the improvement especially in damp conditions. Cannot fault them

Best tyres...but not for roads;-)
