I have pirelli P6000, they don't make those anymore but I can tell you this, they SUCK!! I have no grip on dry pavement and certainly no traction in wet weather and I don't even wanna know whats gonna happen in winter thats why I'm buying winter tires. Pirelli's suck, IMO want grip? don't get pirelli's



Those are a very old design, and have been surpassed by current technology. In "their day" they were a good tire. I have some that I use for summer, and they are actually much better than my all-seasons, but they have a soft sidewall, and the aging tread compound really hits its limit on the autocross course.

Anyway, the P-Zero is a newer Pirelli, and any critique of the P6000 really has no bearing.
