Had my Focus MK2 (06) now since Jan 08 and I put a pair of Pirelli P6000 205/55 R16's on the front at the time of acquiring the car, and then another pair of the same on the rear about 6 months later.
I'm getting close to needing to replace all four. Now... to me, tyres lasting 3 years doesn't seem to be "long" if you ask me maybe I'm wrong. I've done about 25000 miles since getting the car?
My main quibble with the P6000's though is that they're shocking in the wet!
Now I spent a while reading reviews last time and thought the P6000's had decent enough reviews as a good "quality" all rounder. Personally, I've had better budget tyres!
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can go for next?
My dad has just had Toyo Proxies fitted to his MK3 Focus, which were my second choice at the time of choosing the P6000's, he says they're noisy and despite reviews being favourable, a lot of reviews said don't expect them to last long. Thoughts?
I've been driving 8 years and prior to these Pirelli's had never had to replace tyres. When I did, I always went budget and they seemed adequate and to last... What gives?
I appreciate driving style etc comes into play, but I'm no boy racer. I do about 25miles a day commuting, using "normal" roads!
