General Comments
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 time to the opposite side. I'm glad the front tyres are of a different brand and model, or else the expense to replace the P6000s would be even greater.
I don't know the exact mileage of these tyres because they came with the car, but by looking at them you would say that they look almost new.
