Result: Would you buy again? No way
Comment:
Adequate in the dry, poor in the wet with limited cornering abilities. Fitted to rear of Honda FRV used mostly on motorway and A roads. Wet grip noticeably worse than Uniroyals fitted to front of car.
Tyres wore unevenly after only 10,000 miles & had to be replaced with almost 4mm of tread remaining due to very uneven wear clearly visible to tread blocks. Caused whining noise at speed and even worse grip. Replaced on advice of MOT tester who said that although they were technically legal, they were in poor condition. Uneven wear is evidently a common problem with P6000.
Would never buy these again.
