P6000\'s are some of the worst tyres i\'ve had the misfortune to own - they were on my 200sx when i got it, and my other half had them on her mx5.
The former caused me to have the only \'moment\' i\'d ever had in the car, and the latter caused the car to be parked halfway up a bank with bent suspension and a buckled wheel.
If i boughbt a car with them on, i\'d keep it off the road until i changed them! they are mediocre at best in the dry, and downright dangerous in the wet - on a par with Nankangs...

My money would either go on F1\'s, or FK451/2\'s - I prefer the 451 as it seems a bit more predicatable, and slightly better in the wet, but i beleive it\'s discontinued.
F1\'s are the best tyre i\'ve ever owned though - predictable, oodles of grip, and last a good while - the only problem i had with them is that they melt a little on track - the 451\'s seem to fare a bit better for this
Hope that helps

Coming from honda\'s I still use bridgestone as have always found them flawless,
 
On the fd Iam using bridgestone S-03\'s/Grids and find they perform excellently although they have not been properly tested yet.
 
 
In my experience of tyres you pay for what you get!!!!
 
I.e.
 
Excellent but pricy
yokohama advan neova
P Zero\'s
etc etc
 
Good,
eagle F1
yokohama parada
bridgestone potenza/grids/S-02/3
michelin Pilot\'s
top of the range Falken
 
Poor but cheap
Toyo\'s T1r/T1s
p6000

On the plus side, at least it didn\'t have Woo Sung Dark Horses

Being a wheel whore leads one to often own wheels with a variety of appalling tyres
