They often loose grip at sharp and speedy cornering, even in dry and hot conditions. Didn't notice any difference on dry or wet grip. After 10000 miles the half of tread depth is gone... so I presume they won't last more then 20-25000 miles. At high speed and on concrete they are very noisy.

I was doing a seventy mile a day commute and the goodyears i prefered wore down quickly in summer, so i had these p3000 fitted hoping they would last longer, Bad decision as the wet weather grip with these tires was very poor compared to the goodyear gt3. I found that i was trying to wear them out before the next winter by spinning them up from the lights which was easy due to lack of traction. At 30000 miles i had them taken off with 4 to 5mm of tread left as i could not go through another winter on these things. Goodyear hydragrips on and what a difference, able to brake normally in the rain without the car sliding across the carriageway.
On the mazda these tires lasted a long and scary time.

The tire under review is Pirelli P 3000 Energy - For the first couple of thousand kilometers the tires very extremely noisy on coarse road surfaces. However, it became better later. At 20000 kms no problems what so ever. Lots of stones and pebbles got stuck into the tire in the beginning, but currently that is no longer a complaint. These are high performance summer tires and were pretty good all autumn and early winter. However they are not recommended for winter use. Dry traction is good, stoppage times are predictable. Good wet traction, and any under steer was felt before things went out of hand. Thus, the progressiveness of the tires is good. After 20,000 kilometers of usage it still looks new. However it has to be noted that the tire pressures were routinely checked, the wheels balanced and aligned every 5,000 kilometers. It has so far been very satisfactory. These tires were produced in Turkey and some tire professionals on examining the tires have remarked that it is not on par with those produced elsewhere in Europe. All in all it is a good and reliable tire so far.
