Re: [doc] New Tyres

P6000s are also available in 225/60-15 if you want a matchng set of 
Pirellis. As far as the "mix" between P600 and P6000 - although the 
tread pattern is different, the sidewalls look almost identical.

At some point, expect to see 235/60-15s in a P6000 as it's the 
replacement for P600, when they run out.

I prefer the idea of the correct rear size and the P600 is actually a W 
rated tyre making it quite soft and incredibly sticky. With a tail-happy 
car (with a bit more power) this can only be a good thing, IMO.

P600/6000 mix.

PS you could have had my Eagle NCT's off my project car if had replaced 
them for me.... They are in perfect condition with stakcs of tread on 
them. Apparently they were almost nwe when the car was laye dup in the 
garage.
