Yes, terrible. So terrible that any comparison with P6000's as some sort of benchmark is completely useless :p

And yet they have been standard fit on most Jags since they were designed in the '80s (Pzeros, are fitted to the ones with 19/20" wheels I believe) for some reason ...then again the fact that they haven't really changed since then says a lot really, virtually every other tyre has evolved a fair bit since then.

P6000s are 'ok' when it's dry in my experience, but in the wet they are awful, the cheaper Falken's I have now are far, far better in the wet and probably better im the dry too ...hasn't really been properly dry around by me since I had them fitted yeterday so I can't say for certain.

Plus one on this, a premium brand tyre which is absolutely shockingly poor at everthing. The only plus point they have is they last a long time, but thats because they are like driving on plastic tyres for grip.
 
I have come to the conclusion that FK452s just don't like larger cars, the wear rate on my dad's Volvo 850 T5 is silly, as was it on our Vauxhall Vectra, yet on the 306 they last ages - and give a much better experience - Still better of with the CS3 mind you.

I think on higher powered cars they can wear rather quickly, I've had no problems with them loosing grip in the dry and only the occasional tale happy shenanigans in the wet. These qualities alone make me sceptical to buying higher priced tyres.
 
The CS3s won't last particularly long, but then that's expected when they grip so well.
No contest v FK452s.
