Great car

Pirelli 6000p tyres fitted

these tyres tend to bulge on the walls after less than a 1000mls. When I pointed this out to Pirelli Tyres Technical Centre, that this was the second time this has happened Bulging on the inside and the outside on two different accasions they said I must have caused a fold on the tyre this is a rubbish remark as I deal with the refurbishment of wheels
Conclusion:- Drive safely Don't fit Pirelli 6000P

Quiet, hugs the road

They deform easily

The Pirelli 6000's came with the car, which I purchased new. After 12 months I began experiencing what I would describe as a whiring sound and found out the 2 front tires were out of round. The manufacturer offered very little support. I received one new tire and had to use my spare. Now I have experienced the an issue with my rear tire, which literally came apart at a very low speed while in commute traffic. The local tire company advised purchasing new Michelins as their record with Pirelli has been dismal.

Good in wet

TERRIBLE side walls weakness.

I drive in the New York City vicinity; this past year I have replaced 5 tires (225/40/17) due to sidewall bulges or tear. The last incident was caused by a small pothole that caused a bulge on the left front, and a sidewall tear on the left rear. Good on wet, but terrible on grooved roadways. On the tire dealer's suggestion I have replaced the front two tires with Pirelli "P-Zeros assymetricals"; I just learned from Audi that this was the wrong thing to do; they tell me that all four tires should be the same thread design due to the all-wheel drive. I welcome any advice!

Run out and poor techincal advice from Pirelli.

That I bought these.

This is my second set of Pirelli tyres, the first was a set of P7000's which were replaced (by Pirelli)after 3000km because they were out of round. Well the 6000's have the same problem after 17000km. They have 6mm of tread on them and I treat the well, so abuse was not the cause. I just think these are poor tyres. I had a set of GoodYear F1's, hell I miss them! 74000km and they were good when I removed them. I would only recommend these tyres if you want to experience the effects of runout or oval tyres, as for me; I prefer round tyres and will therefore NEVER buy these again.

Grip in wet

Wear

Just had the inside wall of one tire "bulge" out (evidently, I must have clipped a curb - not that I remember), so needed replacing - other fron was at 70% wear, therefore it got changed as well. Have done *all* of 26k KM's on them (OK, 9.3 Aero with a lot of torque), so feel let down with the wear. Positive point is grip - especially in the rain - excellent... Would look for something else next time simply due to the wear problem.

Decent grip on smooth roads and in the rain.

Durability on less than perfectly paved surfaces. Road noise with wear. Lousy light snow traction.

Came as OEM from Audi. I got my first puncture driving on slightly rough road surface. I had about 20k mi on them at the time, on mostly highway miles then. This week, with 32k on the remaining tires, I lost both front tires driving in New York City road surfaces. I consider myself a conservative to occasionally aggressive driver. I would not recommend them and won't be buying them as replacement.

wet/dry traction (can't comment on snow) comfort

noise with 1/2 the tread left seems to easily cut

1996 Acura Integra 195/55VR15 Good all around tire but expect it to get noisy (drone like) with 1/2 the tread left. They wear a bit quicker than my Dunlops but still pretty good (I got almost 40k out of them).

Absolute cornering force 51psi capability for better sidewall stregnth (while cornering) and fuel mileage Wet Weather traction

Straight-Line Traction a little weak. Rough Ride Wears out quickly Don''t use them in the snow, or else Gets a little loud after 40% worn

Turned a cruddy-handling car (this is natural behavior for early 90''s GM)into one of the better cars I''ve driven. Beat The living piss out of these tires. I must say that it takes a long time to find where your limits are because with these tires they are so high. It''s also difficult to find out when you have exceeded the limits (no howling, just heavy front-wheel drive understeer) and thus you could find yourself in a particularly daunting situation. The ride down the highway is brutal (at the indicated 51psi) but I still love it. Better gas mileage with the 51psi. Tires become unusually loud if you let them wear out too much (wearing out doesn''t take too long, either!). Where my car comes a little short is with the power. During a lengthy street race, 160hp with a 3-speed auto doesn''t quite cut it. With the cornering bonus that I acquired with these tires allowed me to pull off some absolutely shocking victories (even beat a mustang V-8 on the Robb Rd Course!! Not by much, though) I still lose occasionally, though. Also, a warning... don''t attempt to use these tires in the snow, you will get stuck very easily, and you will wear them out by trying to get out.

Excelent Traction

I would highly recomend these tires. Incredible wet traction.
