V6 Xantia Sliding

I put Dunlop SP Sport 01's on my V6 to replace the rather appalling Michelins it had on and I have to say that they are a vast improvment. Much grippier and a whole lot quieter too.

thanks Stempy, will give them a go and see what they are like when these bloody P6000's wear out.

Our blue Xant is running Continental 'ecocontact' CP 205/60's no worries there.
Our red one runs a non-descript make 185's - soon to be swapped.

So I take it you don't like them then

The translation says it all.

Pirelli = Italian for ditch finder

I bought a set of new 15" Peugeot 306 Cyclone alloy wheels & they came with new P6000s, On a 405 all 4 tyres lasted 6k miles, No grip, Rubbish tyre, They are just overrated s***e

Replaced them with Michelin Pilot Primacys & the fronts would last 12K & the backs 24K, Gripped fine in the dry & wet, No problems with the Michelins.

The NEW Primacy HP just about to come out is ment to be even better then the original Pilot Primacy.

You get what you pay for, Pay out for a Michelin & you get a top notch decent tyre.

I'm an ex Dunlop employee so I gravitate towards Dunlop tyres but I find the Pirelli P6000 to be fine.... speak as you find I say. Have a look at that www.mytyres.com site... they include independant test reports on all the tyres.
