Just been quoted £87 a corner for Pirelli P6000's .......

But, been around the web and there are reports of these tyres going out-of-balance regularly ..... anyone any experience of this??

Pete

 

Mine never lasted long enough for me to notice. On a T5 Volvo around 8k for fronts.Their performance deteriorates noticeably once down to 5mm. There are far better tyres for the money imo. Bob

 

Thanks Bob ..... 8k miles??? I certainly wouldn't be happy with that!!

25k miles is my target .... maybe stick with my Michellin Pilot Sports?

Anyone else?

Pete

 

I wouldn't laugh mate... I've had pirelli and good year and bridgestone on the scoob... averae mileage ....7000 a set

 

Do you drive like a wally then?? Or is it the fault of the tyres??

Pete

 

There can be no comparison other than cost between 6000 and the Pilot Sports?

I have had sets and sets of 6000 over about 15 years (!) and they are perfect Company Car tyres. Cheap, long life (Rover 800/Honda's/Audi A4's) and good all rounders.

On a Scooby or anything 'quick' then I think they will dissapoint.
The Vovo is pushing huge bhp/torque through the front apit, it's heavy too, so the fronts get blitzed.

If you want a value for money tyre, get a set of TR1's from Toyo and rotate them every 6000 miles.
I got 24K from a set of SO2's on my UK Turbo twice. (company car)

Oh, and all those 6000's never went out of balance from new to worn-out.
