Pirelli P6000 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 160 reviews

Wet grip is the main concern in Pirelli P6000 owner feedback, criticised in roughly four in ten reviews, though some drivers are satisfied. Noise is another recurring complaint, mentioned negatively in around one in five accounts. Dry grip and tread life are more divided: praise is more frequent than criticism, but there are substantial reports of limited dry grip and short service life too. Later-use accounts include useful mileage, while a smaller group describe vague feedback or a sudden loss of grip near the limit. Returning owners show mixed experiences rather than a consistent pattern of improvement or deterioration as the tire wears.

It seems to be fashionable to slander the P6000, but through my experience I will not be following suite. I have had P6000's on the front and back of my Mondeo and I can't really complain, they aren't a patch on Toyo T1-R's but then they were never intended to be. They wear well, are relatively comfortable and provide a sufficient amount of grip to drive quickly and safely. I can't say I'd buy them again, but they are from their image of baby killers and widow makers.

Having sad that, they almost put me in a gravel pit at Donnington Park when the rear stepped out without warning..., drive with a bit of common sense on the road and they will look after you.

This has to be one of the worst tires I've ever had. Dry grip is unremarkable, wet grip is truly appalling! (breakaway is as sudden as it is unannounced). They don't call these things 'Ditch- Finders' for nothing. Avoid.

I note that many cars are fitted with these tires out of the box. The one simple reason I can think of is that they are durable and quiet.

However as a performance tire the P6000 does not even compute. I had a very nasty accident owing to the snappy breakaway characteristics of this tire in the wet completely without warning.

Dry grip is average and feedback is average to poor. Wet grip is woefully bad however and I would advise anyone to avoid these tires like the plauge for this very reason.

There is a reason these tires have been nicknamed 'the ditch finders'!

Even as a normal road tire for normal car I would suggest that there are far better value and far better performing tires out there for the money.

In summary, this is a veritable dog of tire that should be avoided at all costs

Not really much to say on these tires. They performed as expected, not loads of grip but not awful.

Distinctly average.
