These were fitted to the car when I bought it, so unsure how many miles they've covered, but the grip is terrible.
Pulling away gently from a junction in the dry they struggle for traction. And in the wet they're useless. I'll admit they coped OK with standing water and didn't aquaplane, but I was probably going so slow as a result of their lack of grip that it wasn't an issue.
When they let go they just go. The turn in is ok, making you think it's gripping well, only for it to let a moment later with no warning. Round-a-bouts in the wet with these is a scary proposition.
I've used Toyo T1-R's previously which are in the same price range and much much better. And I'm now replacing these P6000's with Uniroyal Rainsport 2's as the reviews seem very promising.
I understand that Pirelli have a good name for themselves, and that their P Zero tyres are very good. However their lower end offering is nothing short of dangerous.
