Tyre Advice Please

[igg]

I need to buy 4 new tyres for the Lexus Limo.
It currently has Dunlop (Jap made) SP Sports on the back and Pirelli P6000's on the front. Tyre size is 225/60 R16.

Looking to change as the Dunlops don't grip at all in the wet - frequently find the back trying to overtake the front when pulling out at T-junctions etc. And the Pirelli's have only lasted 8000 miles and was hoping for a bit more than that out of them.

If anyone runs a similar sized barge could you suggest/recommend any tyres choices?

Thanks
Igg

I use P6000s on our v6 mondeo estate and it does chew up the fronts a bit but I get about 12k miles out of them. The rears are also P6000s and last forever.

i dont kno if they will do these in your size & power rating, but ive got Yokohama A539 on a hot hatch and they are bloody brill and the best set of rubber ive ever had, long life, grip like hell, & great wet or dry. ive never got on too well with pirelli p6000
