Honda Accord Tourer Type S Tyres

The car car originally came fitted with some Falken RE 452 - I have never driver a car that tramlined so badly - I never felt in control of the car on the motorway / B-roads and couldn't wait to get them off the car. Since then I've been running P-Zero Rosso's which I have been very pleased with, each pair getting between 16-19k. I decided to try the new P-Zero's and have had them on the car for 2months now and they have had everything thrown at them. They are superb in the wet - I haven't felt the car want to aquaplane through standing water which is probably due to the wide radial grooves on the tyres. They haven't done too bad in the snow, however like all summer tyres in snow, once you're stuck that's it! Dry grip is slightly better than the Rosso's (my last pair I wore right down to the limit and did fell a bit nervous in the wet when pushed too hard).

On the the good A roads / and motorways I would say they are quieter than the Rosso's and I am pleased with them so far. If I get the same sort of wear rate as the Rosso's then I will be pleased - just have to wait and see.

The Pilot Sport 3 tyres are excellent in every way but I had hoped they would last longer than 17,000 miles. The grooves around the circumference of the tyre are wide so there is less rubber then on some tyres. I guess that's what gives the grip. I often have the car loaded up with windsurfing equipment and it still has excellent handling and cornering. Unsurprisingly they were not so good in the snow and very difficult indeed to get going without spinning. However, once moving they weren't bad. Overall a very good, safe tyre at speed on all kinds of roads.

Can't believe these tyres are made by the same company who make the fantastic P Zero Rosso s! The P6000 s are the worst tyre I've ever used. Just bought a Honda Accord tourer with 4 new P6000s and ended up going sideways through a small bend - only saved the car with some extreme opposite lock. Quite a feat considering the car is front wheel drive! Absolutely no feedback that the tyre was at it's absolute limit (at 40 mph)! They also wheel spin in 2nd gear and are VERY noisy. Can't wait to change when funds permit.
