shocking tyres they are!! when i bought some new tyres i bought Michelins; put them on the back on moved the P6000 to the front; needless to say i went straight out and bought another 2 Michelins!! the P6000 would grip and then just give up with absolutely no warning  :shocked:

Goodyear Eagle F1 - Outstanding grip wet or dry & medium-to-good durability.  Best tyre per £Â£Ã‚£, IMO.  :wink:
