I recommend u guys to try the Hankook's K104, it is a Y rated tyre with the super silica compound and designed for ultra high performance.
I had them put on my vtir after taking off the p6000s, it was way better in handling and performance, specially on fast corners it just grips so well and also in the wet as well.
Also they provide a Road Hazard Warranty Within 25% worn of original tread depth & Within 1 year from the purchased date, so if u ever got a puncher with in that 25% worn or under 1 year u can get a replacement tyre.

youch :D. i had a set of p6000's on my old falcon. they were pretty shocking in terms of grip and feel. great for noise levels though, just that i don't particularly care about noise levels in my cars- that is something i can worry about when i'm 50.
i would not touch them again, p6000 are almost the worst tyres i've ever bought (worst being pirelli p600's, but we won't go into that).
there is some hands on experience for yas.
What's wrong with GridIII's?? They grip very decently in my opinion....
I agree. My GIIIs hold up quite well. But i haven't had experience with other "performance" rubber.
I think the GIII is a good street tyre....grips well, and on the rain as well. I have no complains on it.....
But i heard its no good for tracks.
no shit, me too. and i drive a stock vti accord (manual) tooQuote:

each tyre cost me $144
but they are no match for the p6000's
i ended up getting the Yokohama AVS V102
they are great both in wet and dry
a friend has the G3s in 225/50R16 on his stock dc5 wheel...
they were alright...but not as grippy..
How much were they Tofu and what profile?
Pirelli P6000 isn't very good.
They are pretty noisy too, although they weren't as bad as the crappy P5000 Dragos I had before. They were the worst tyres I've ever bought.
I changed over to Dunlop SP3000A and they are far better tyres than P6000. I noticed that my car handles so much better and it's more quiet than P6000.
what kind of profile tyres did u have?
do u realise that the lower profile tyres u have, the more moisy its going to be? the only good thing about low profile tyres is less sidewall flex when cornering.
But if there is less tyrewall flex that would equate to a stiffer tyre=less noise.Quote:
