Pirelli P6000

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;-)

These tyres were fitted on my 1.9tdi bora when i bought them, I would highly recommand this tyre as it is hard wearing and grippy.

I am supprised at the comments about wet grip for Pirelli P6000, i found them to be great on wet or dry roads. I drive to Italy for summer hols in a Mercedes C180 Coupe and find these tyres 1st class. When it rains in Italy it realy rains. My only problem with them is the wear on the rear drive wheels. the fronts have lasted 35,000 but the rears only about 15000. And NO i am not a boy racer !!! I am 64 drive a truck for a living and use my car for leisure and holidays only. I also find the road noise to be low until they start to wear.

Rock hard, unresponsive and expensive.

These tyres came fitted when I bought the car and I would never buy this brand again. The dry grip is acceptable but the first time I drove in the wet was shocking; I drive a 1.9 TDI diesel and even under light acceleration these tyres will loose traction and as for going around corners - forget it! The car will plough straight on with these tyres fitted.

These tyres are so bad in the wet, that with the winter months approaching, I am now going to replace them even though they are nowhere near fully worn.

How can a preimum brand like pirelli sell such utter rubbish?

These tyres were on the car when i bought it a year ago and after 10,000 miles they have worn down very little. They are fine in dry conditions and even grip surprisingly well in the snow. The tyres seem to handle bumps and potholes well as long as they're not too big but are fairly noisy.

However, the problems start when the road is wet. There was some light rain today (no more than 10 minutes) and while going round a roundabout the back of the car came out. If i was driving like a maniac i would have expected that to have happened, but i was in second gear and doing 10mph with no throttle or brakes applied. The tyres are inflated to the manufacturers recommended level and have 5mm tread left. I just cant understand how this could happen at such a low speed in a 1.2L front wheel drive car.
