Which ones?
The Pirelli P-zero is fabled throughout the land, whereas the P6000 will kill you and all puppies within a 6 mile radius.
In defence of that statement, the only one I've ever spun on is the P6000.The Pirelli P-zero is fabled throughout the land, whereas the P6000 will kill you and all puppies within a 6 mile radius.
There's something rather surreal about seeing trees and the like go past your windscreen from left to right at 80mph.

If you've got 'em, and they're already mounted on wheels, why not just try 'em? You'll probably decide they're standard budget I.e. tolerable in the dry, pants in the wet/cold.
What he said.I really must start reading posts properly.
N6000's on my bmw 750il...no complaints at all. And i've been really leaning on them in the wet.
Had P6000's on my previous car (328i) and found them perfectly fine. And it was often hustled along very swiftly. The numpty who bought it off me has spun it twice in a month tho. Perhaps its driving style.

I had some Nexens on my Clio when I bought it and they were ok in the dry but I just couldn't put any power down at all in the wet. Fitting some Michelin PS3s was the best £500 I ever spent, a night and day difference in performance.
I have P6000s on my 5.6l Mercedes and haven't crashed yet. That said, a great deal of the rear ones are now distributed about the road network in long black lines as they are very easy to accidentally overwhelm with power.

I have a set of N8000, they have got some very good reviews and they seem pretty good, the N9000 are meant to be even better but were are available in my size yet.
If it is a simple case of the higher number means new generation and the old ones don't get updated then i would have thought anything lower than 8000 is still more like a budget tyre

Nexens are a slightly above budget range tyre and are not too bad with the right one. They last ok simpley are not very sorry. However, that means grip is not good. I've had 3000's on my Volvo S80 on 19's previously,as replacing P-zeros was ridiculous. 3000's were ok but the car wheel span like hell, when I floored it. 2000's I know to be much worse and would put you off the road under pressure, due to severe understeer. 6000's were ok on my brothers 325i, on 20's, but the rears were 265's.
It depeds how you drive. I had Pirelli P-zero rosso's on one of my cars before. 245/45x18's, they were pretty good but didn't last too long.
If they are on there already, ride them out carefully, don't drive crazy (corners) then upgrade...wht size do you have?
I used to be the manager of a Tyre branch....erm....erm, wow, 7 years ago now, so been around a few brands and seen the results.

They're getting better. They'll be the next brand to emerge from "budget" into "midrange".
Personally I'd only really want to be on N8000 or N Blue Eco, the rest of the range is a bit dated AFAIK.
Just fitted some Nexen N-fera su1's on my Citroen C2, most noticable is the improvement in ride quality and and low noise. They also feel very connected to the road, all in all very happy at present.Personally I'd only really want to be on N8000 or N Blue Eco, the rest of the range is a bit dated AFAIK.
They replaced some hideous Autogrips and Capitols that were on there when I bought the car. Having had a C2 a few years ago on Hankooks ( Ventus V12 Evo) which I rate highly they even seem an improvement on them.

+1 for the Hankook's. Got them on the back of mine now, and they're great tyres. They replaced some hideous Autogrips and Capitols that were on there when I bought the car. Having had a C2 a few years ago on Hankooks ( Ventus V12 Evo) which I rate highly they even seem an improvement on them.
