Where to get Pirelli P6000 Tyres?????
Bumble - 10/8/12 at 12:38 PM

Hi all,
My Dad is after 2 x Pirelli P6000 tyres as like for like replacements.
Size = 225/60 R15 96 V
Can't find a stockist of them anywhere. They are to go on a classis Aston Martin and he does not want another brand. I've tried Camskill but even they don't have them. Thought I'd check if anyone on here knows where else we could try.
Thanks,
Matt

They have been replaced by the P6 and P7, I think it was back in 2003 it was announced so even if they produced them for a few more years, it was only a matter of time till the stocks dried up.

Tyre technology moves on over time, it's difficult to stick with any particular tyre for any length of time. I always go for Bridgestone for my bike tyres, but even then I've only ever bought the same tyre twice. I've had to go for the newer version each time.

On further review it seems Pirrelli dont produce any tyres in that size at all anymore.. he will have to move on im affraid!

Have you tried Longstone Tyres? If they don't have them, they may be able to advise where to get some.

Try Coker Tire in USA they make tires for almost every vintage car back to the 20's

Had P6000 on one of my old Peugeot 309gti and have to say that they are truly awful ditch finders.

Agreed, worst tyres I've ever had!!

Well, not quite as bsd as the 'event' tyres which a currently gracing the rear of my daily driver but not far off.
