That sounds more like P6000s
You don't have them on the back as well do you?

P6000's commonly known as ditch finders..... I run Goodyear GSD3 F1 & think they're great, others run Khomos & Falkens with good results, it will help to have the same make of tyres front & back to assist the balance. A lot recommend Continentals but they're an old style tyre & feel it. Bridgestones are another choice but I found the rock hard sidewalls give an uncomfortable ride, although the turn in is good. |

Virtually anything will be better than P6000s which are the spawn of Satan. Top work someone wearing them out in less than 20 years; they seem to be made of Bacolite. Jim's got the list except for Toyo Proxes which also have some fans. |

I have P6000's on the front of my S2 and as you say they never wear out only end up cracking with age, I have had no problems with them to date but will be changing them for a set of Toyo Proxes T1R. |

Not had to change tyres on my 944 yet but I have had good experience with both Falken 452 and Toyo T1R's on my Octy vRS, Goodyear's new F1 asymetric is getting good reviews as well but a bit pricier (I believe it is slowly replacing the GSD-3's). Cheaper options may be Falkens 912 ( much better than the 512, which it replaces,by all accounts) and Goodyears Excellence. |

this topic turns up quite regularily and i think tyre choice is personal, different drivers have different driving styles and expect different things from their cars, just look a F1 set-ups, so altho' the P6000s don't have the best grip they will last for ever which would be fine for constant motorway driving but not so good on twisty B or country roads where a stickier tyre wins hands down, the advice given here is great but based on individual driving styles |
