I bought the Pirelli P6000s to replace the old Hankooks on the front wheels of my Vauxhall Cavalier when I bought it.

Road noise wasn't significantly different, and neither was the grip in the dry... when it rained however, it was a different story.

I spun my car twice, on 2 seperate occasions, on 2 different roundabouts, in the wet, at relatively low speed, and had a few nervous moments on some not-very-sharp corners. They're also more prone to wheelspin.

I recently rotated the Hankooks onto the front, and the wet problems disappeared, though the back (now armed with the Pirellis) seemed a little jittery at times.

I'm now in the process of replacing them with Dunlop Sport SP01s (got two on the rear yesterday, but unfortunately, means I'm back to a relatively new pair of P6000s on the front again).
