Pirelli P6000

Four tyres of P6000 were installed from factory to my fathers personal car, Seat Ibiza MKII 50 PS. Stay away of them! The only good thing of these tyres is......NOTHING! I’ m not joking. Dry grip is bad, comfort doesn't exist and they are very noisy as well. Wet grip is Terrible/Horrifying and you face aquaplaning all the time, even if with low speed. Road feedback and progressivess are poor and you don't know how your car will reacts on any kind of road. Project Pirelli P6000 is a great failure for Pirellis history. Highly NOT recommended!

Have them in 175 50 14 size Alright in dry In wet they're crap

Great all round tyre for Jaguar S-type and XJ8 SE models. These tyres were the starting point in the design of Jaguar cars certainly up to 2004 to my knowledge. The Jaguars gradually improved after Ford gained ownership. The first S-types launched in 1999 was not quite up to standard. The car was face lifted in 2002 with a raft of improvements and a further update followed in 2004. Gradually, Jaguar cars have lost some of their cosseting ride comfort and have acquired a more sporting character. This has opened up the manufacturer’s appeal to drivers looking for a more modern shape together with a firmer ride. Whilst this policy has been very successful, many of the traditional Jaguar customers who prefer a leisurely comfortable ride allied to effortless straight line performance have not been impressed. This is where the P6000 has triumphed a perfect tyre for the heavier, softer sprung, superior ride comfort older models.

These really are the worst branded tyres I've ever driven on. They came on my Impreza STI and I can only describe them as lethal. The dry grip was really poor but the slightest bit of damp is like driving in icy conditions. Seriously, I don't know how these things can even be sold! I took them straight off and swapped them for some Goodyear Asymmetrics which transformed the car.

These tyres are awful, They are noisy, in the wet they are lethal and even in the dry they are not great. Even being extremely cautious in the slightest of damp weather in a straight line the tyres squirrel around and the traction control light keeps coming on making stopping distances a lot longer than they should be. Do not buy. A good rule of thumb is tyres that last a long time generally dont have much grip. These prove that point.

Used them in mixed conditions, in city and in country roads. The grip is quite poor especially in wet. I experienced aquaplaning several times at 90 km/h (scary experience). Braking in the wet is disappointing, when braking harder had wheels blocking. Regarding wear, from 6mm to 3mm in 15k km on front wheels. Would not buy again.
