Gerard,
Wow, 70,000 from the Powergy's is impressive. My P6000s are still legal,
but I will struggle to get 40,000 km from them. I've had to replace one
due to sidewall damage, too, but that was after some fairly rugged
driving through the Gammon Ranges so I'll wear that. Found them very
noisy, too - above 80 km/h from new, at lower speeds now. I wouldn't
recommend them, and I'm not sure why Bob Janes did.
Given the above I was going to steer away from Pirelli but thanks for
your comments, I will consider the Powergy or P6s. I've also been
recommended the Cooper Discoverer H/T - any comments readers have on
this will be appreciated. I've only seen them on a couple of Land Rover
Discoverys up to this point.
Regards,
Damon
Hi Damon,
I'm also in AU and currently am running P6000 Powergy on my 2000 OBLW. They
are up for replacement however have lasted 70,000kms and the tread is still
legal althought I'm also currently looking for options. Most of this is city
driving, not freeway although I have taken it on dirt and beach quite a bit.
The new P6 all season tyres look pretty good and are currently my choice
unless I find something better in the next couple of weeks. Better tread
pattern and sidewall design for off road than the P6000 at the expense of
some cornering and low aquaplaning characteristics.
Be interested in what you finally decide on though.
Regards,
Gerard...
