    My wife has them fitted to her BMW and told me that she was very nervous about them as she wasn't at all happy with their roadholding. As the tyres were fairly new, I thought that it must have been down to road conditions, or dare I say it, bad driving. But I used her car last week and skidded heavily in a roundabout, on a dry surface. Very dangerous in my view and I'm arranging for the tyres to be changed immediately

    Bought two new P6000 (225/45/17/91Y) last November. 13000 miles and need to be replaced. Don't like them for noise. My last Volvo (205/55 R16 91w)had Michelin Pilot Primacy HP's and were far superior. Particularly regarding road noise. So I will be replacing all four with new Michelin's very soon. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy these Pirelli's.

    I have run these tires for the last 2 years, they generally cost more but I think that they are better than both Dunlop SP300E and Michelin Primacy.
    However the technology in this tire is old, 1995, and Pirelli don't even mention them on thier website. My P6000's lasted approximately 20,000 miles and there was 3mm of tread left. I think that this is reasonable given that they have a relatively low treadware index at 180. The tires are rather noisey which is probably due to the rather stiff side ...

    I've driven 32000 miles with these on the front of my Skoda Superb diesel. Many of my miles have been on the motorway. They are not as good in the wet as they are in the dry, but I've never felt like I was in trouble. They've just passed the MOT, although they warned me that they will soon need replacing. Not bad though! I'm replacing them with a new set of P6000s, of course - from Black Circles on an offer of £68 each.

    I drove many cars for 30K Miles per year...always hard, I don't do school runs or weekends.
    Latest 2 cars were front wheel drive, tuned Fiat Marea at 235 BHP and Tuned Skoda Octavia VRs at 270 BHp.

    I ran Goodyear (OK), Toyo (humm OK) etc always looking for good grip and a comfortable drive espcially with the skoda that drives like a brick on stilts in an echo chamber.

    The Skoda was so bad and understeering like a real pig so I even bought SMALLER wheels to be able to go back to P6000s....and i ...

    I have two Pirelli P6000 tyres on the rear of my VW Golf mk4, and I drive this car for about 3 weeks. I drive smoothly, but already had the feeling that these tyres may not have such a good grip on dry weather. Yesterday I was absolutely sure that I must replace them urgently. With just a few drops of rain, cornering at about 10-15km/h, I found myself perpendicular to the road. When trying to get back to the correct position, the rear tyres just slided and turned me perpendicular again, this tim ...

    Pirelli P6000 provided good grip in a variety of conditions and continued to grip well right up to the wear blocks. I drive nearly 2000 miles each week and spend much time in Europe at high speeds so give tires a battering these tires lasted 18,000 miles on the front which is good and better than Dunlop SP which I had before 12,000 miles. Have now put on Michelin to see if I can get an improved life

    I have the Pirelli P6000 tyres on the back of my BMW 740 and I drive the car hard especially as I like to get the back out a bit.These tyres last me at least 20k which I think is plenty for this type of driving style.

    My P6000's are fine. At 16,500 miles on a Honda Accord they have been safety checked by Honda as 5 out of 8, likely replacement is at about 25,000 miles - could be the way you drive?

    My Jaguar X type has a full set on it and they are great! I do 600 miles in 2 days every week and only check that the pressure is right once a month! (It never drops by more than 1 psi). I've never had anything go wrong with the tires only a ripped tire wall from avioding a BMW in a carpark! The rubber is soft but that is why they have high levels of grip.

    I had the Pirelli P6000 on an SLK230 the inner side walls began to bulge one after the other. I changed them for Bridgestones, no problem with these. I then had a Saab Aero convertable with these same tyres fitted. Low and behold, I had the same problem. The tyres were fairly young with plenty of tread too.
    Anyway I complained bitterly to my garage and asked them if they would pass on a formal complaint. They said Pirelli would probably not respond. So far they haven't. I now refuse to ever have ...

    The Pirelli P6000 must be the worst tyre for wet weather grip I have driven on in over 30 years. Wet weather grip is diabolical, even at low speeds, such as when negotiating roundabouts and T junctions. Damp surfaces have the car slithering around dangerously, and wheelspinning when pulling away even cautiously.

    We hired a new VOLVO with 1200 k, when we got back after another 600k Hertz wanted to charge us 250 Euro for a tyre due to it having a small bubble in the tyre wall.
    They said we hit a kurb, this was untrue, unavoidable potholes maybe. It was that or have a head-on smash on Ireland west coast roads.
    Kurb rash is common on tyres, go and look in the carpark of any shopping center. You will notice all the tyres that have rash but no bubbles.
    They know the tyres are sub standard, this has never happ ...

    For having such a good name (Pirelli) I trusted that I was getting a great set of tyres, after only 12 months and only 8k miles, drivers side front punctured through wear and passenger side wall is about to go!

    I had these tyres on my Mondeo. They are the cheapest 'high performance' tyres in my country and they lasted surprisingly long: rears were at 110K kilometres and 6 years old when i replaced them. yes I count zeros correctly. fronts lasted 70k. My driving style is calm but tyres see 20 kilometres of action every day when I am going to school. (tyres even passed their speed limits twice)
    Dry grip was good, but it get a little bad after 50k which is normal.
    I can't say the same for its wet grip, af ...

    they had very good handling, but since I got through the 5k km, they just don't stick to the asphalt. They skid when cornering, when starting and stopping. And if you try to run on wet asphalt....., please, don't.

    I already had these on the car I bought and they looked fairly new when I had the car. I since drove 7,000 miles and they are under limit now. I don't know how much they cost but from the other reviews looks like not cheap and wear very quickly so bad value for money overall, although the car is GLUED to the road. Note that I'm a taxi driver with all the associated hard driving, so they do get some heavy use, if not abuse - still I think I will choose something else now that it's time to replace ...

    I have Pirelli P6000's fitted to my Alfa Romeo 156SW and they provide excellent performance. I drive the car pretty hard and got 12k miles off the front tires - which was a little disappointing (remember this is a front wheel drive car and those tyres grip all the power as well as steer the car). However I expect to get 25-30K off the rear.
