Xantia tyres - money no object

Unread post by **Thunderbird** » 08 Sep 2004, 16:14

I am considering replacing my Xantia HDi tyres. They are exactly the same size as the V6 (205/60 R15).
I am looking for top performance on the following items:
- Low breaking distances.
- Comfort.
- Good grip and handling.
For now I am considering two tyres: Michelin Primacy and Pirelli 6000. I am not sure between these two, but I wonder if someone knows other tyres better than these in breaking, comfort, and grip?

Hi
Ive tried both the Pirelli P6000 & the Michelin Pilot Primacys & it has to be the Michelins every time.
They last a lot longer, grip better in wet & dry & give a much better ride.
Also Michelin has a cash back deal on at the moment, They do cost more then the Pirelli P6000 to start with but the longer life of the Michelins pays you back in the end.

Tbird, Avon outperforms them all; I have had 6 Xantias with Pirelli, Michelin, Continental and I have done over 100,000 with all but one doom blue friday car. At least 15,000 on each car have been continental miles and I always drove as fast and as hard as I could and the only tyres that stood the test were Avon, quieter, more grip and long lived.
