P6 has been developed for high class saloons, estate cars and MPVs where ride comfort, stress resistance, low rolling resistance, smooth running and evenness of wear are its distinctive qualities.
P6 retains the same designation as its founder father, introduced in 1977 as the first HP low-profile radial tyre.
The new P6 is the result of the innovative “STEP” (Safety from Technically Engineered Profile) platform, through which the Company decided to respond to the new demands of high performance motoring.
The STEP project relates to the new tyre profile designed to reduce deformation in the critical areas and better distribute pressures in the contact area. The cap and base compound reduces energy consumption resulting in increased integrity and reliability of the whole structure.
The impression at the wheel is one of great fluidity and of control, with a high degree of adaptability to variable driving conditions. In particular, the safety advantages are substantial: greater aquaplaning resistance, more grip and braking stability in the wet and dry, qualities which remain constant throughout the tyre’s life.

I expected more regarding it's price and brand name. Great in dry condition, better than previous one (Dunlop SP Sport 300), however noisy and didn't fit "nice" in my Micra.

Initially felt over inflated and bumpy - light steering - but gripped really well. Adjustment to pressure didn't help with the bumpiness and twitchy feel to the steering - however - handling was very safe and secure despite not feeling good
