Not as god as the S0-2 but not bad. They are nearly match them in the dry but are a bit off in the wet. Very comparable to the Eagle F1's.
Held together well on track.

Cheap, safe, good wearing if you drive normal, excellent grip, wet grip is OK but not for track use (Uniroyal Rainsport 2's for that).
Had the current set over 2 years, and they get USED! Amazing.

I read some reviews on these tyres before buying and honestly still didn't expect them to be as they are!
the dry grip is very good
the wet grip was unbelievable
i have them fitted all round on a 170bhp 306 gti-6 and barely get any wheel spin in the wet nevermind the dry!
only down side i have found is the wear, my fronts have lasted about 6k miles, im guessing this is due to my driving style, i just love country roads! the rears however are perfectly fine!
however, i am currently paying for another pair as i write this!

I note that many cars are fitted with these tyres out of the box. The one simple reason I can think of is that they are durable and quiet.
However as a performance tyre the P6000 does not even compute. I had a very nasty accident owing to the snappy breakaway characteristics of this tyre in the wet completely without warning.
Dry grip is average and feedback is average to poor. Wet grip is woefully bad however and I would advise anyone to avoid these tyres like the plauge for this very reason.
There is a reason these tyres have been nicknamed 'the ditch finders'!
Even as a normal road tyre for normal car I would suggest that there are far better value and far better performing tyres out there for the money.
In summary, this is a veritable dog of tyre that should be avoided at all costs

I'll start by saying that the car came fitted with these, so it wasn't my choice! I have always looked at P6000s and thought the tread was all wrong. How can it possibly cope with any kind of weather at all? Maybe, I surmised they are long lasting and very comfortable.
Well it turns out that even that is not the case. I found the ride bumpy and loud. The handling is terrible - barely acceptable in the dry, and on wet and muddy roads, well forget it. Actually dangerous in my opinion. It may be a good by if you live in Dubai, but anywhere in Europe? Forget it.
Its incredible that so many cars come with these as standard. Its also incredible that Pirelli have gotten away with selling the same substandard product for so long. And its also one of the most expensive tyres you can buy!
A friend who worked in the motor industry told me that Pirelli supply these to manufacturers at cost price, sometimes less when they are trying to woo a new model. The reason being that the vast maajority of drivers, when its time to replace their tyres will go for exactly the same type. They assume that the car maker knows best!
Wrong, the car maker just got bribed!
I diddnt even wait for mine to wear out. I replaced with Contis and am very happy now.

Wet Grip - The best
Road Feedback - The best
Progressiveness - The best
Wear - They wear quickly, but there soft and grippy.
Comfort - If you want comfort have a bath
Buy again - If I could get them - BRIDGESTONE PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE.
The best bar non. Grip, feel, stability, poise is way better than any other. They also leave all others in the wet, they are just brilliant. The sidewalls are also quite stiff which is great as you dont get the movement like you do with lesser tyres.
I have had five sets of these as well as trying Eagle F1's and various others. These nock them all into next week.
