Pirelli P6000 185/70 R15 89W

Pirelli pushes the performance envelope with the P6000. A totally innovative, freshly patented 'new wave' tread design which incorporates an almost continuous, and therefore exceptionally stable, tread block running from the center to the shoulder of the tire, separated by elliptical water clearing channels running across the tread area. Born in CAD/CAM experiments, this unique tread design combines tread block stability with wet weather safety while minimizing noise generation.

With the latest generation of silica based compounds, Pirelli technologists have solved the problem of mixing silica and black fillers with synthetic polymers to provide exceptional low rolling resistance and high wet grip.

The 'unseen invention' of Pirelli, the P6000 carcass has been specifically designed to reduce weight and to amplify the attributes of the new tread pattern and compound combination. Reduced unsprung masses, reduced rolling resistance, enhanced comfort and up to 186 mph (300 km/hr) performance in one technological package.

Adequate in the dry, poor in the wet with limited cornering abilities. Fitted to rear of Honda FRV used mostly on motorway and A roads. Wet grip noticeably worse than Uniroyals fitted to front of car. Tyres wore unevenly after only 10,000 miles & had to be replaced with almost 4mm of tread remaining due to very uneven wear clearly visible to tread blocks. Caused whining noise at speed and even worse grip. Replaced on advice of MOT tester who said that although they were technically legal, they were in poor condition. Uneven wear is evidently a common problem with P6000. Would never buy these again.

Overall performance very good.
