Iirc those P6000 were originally mounted on my Focus, dry road
was fine, they could have done a bit better on wet roads.

The downside, never ever drove a tire which made that much noise.
After replacing them, kind of new car. ;-)

Have Continental ContiPremiumContact 2 (had to look it up):

http://www.conti-online.com/

"195/60 R 15 V" as required by my registration, YMMV. I'd
certainly buy them again. Zero problems, superior handling and
grip under any road conditions. Nothing I could say against them,
OK not the cheapest. ;-)

Good luck

I have Firestone Firehawk 700s on my Focus. They are very noisy.
