I'm running Pirelli P6000 on the rear and Sonar (???) on the front (as it came) Not noticed any problems with it yet and I've had the barge (2.0 auto estate) for a year now, but then i normally just tootle around the countryside with the kids on board, so not really into giveing it a bootfull. There again never having driven any other Omega, I don't know what it could/should be like.

Jul 2006 at 16:19 got nanekane on mine and are the best of the budget tyres ive ever had in dry but not great in wet but i do like to go sideways. they are probably summer tyres as are most of the cheap tyres you get. have found that going up in the speed rating is a good way of getting better grip, Z rated on front and H on the back.

Jul 2006 at 17:06 My CD has Pirelli P6000's all round, 225/55-16, only had the car 4 days so not had much experience of them Have Uniroyal Rainsports 215/40-17 on the Calibra, and cant fault them at all, rain or shine...nothing grips better IMO.

Jul 2006 at 17:28 The MV6 is Z rated, as I imagine 3.0l Elite (same power/speed etc). The 2.5 v6 is rated to 140+mph, so going to have to be on V but likely W. H is only rated to about 130, so shouldn't be fitted to v6 (it will probably cause insurance issues). I'll check my car manual to see what it says...

Mine has got Nankangs NS2's all round, budget tyre at around £45 each (plus £7/tyre to get them fitted)....but i have had no probs with them, they grip ok and seem to be wearing ok.
Dont know how they would cope with V6 power tho.

I"ve had Nankangs on 3 cars now and never have had a problem with them in both the wet and dry....seem to last forever (mind you if i keep a car more then 6 months im doing well).

When im due new rubber thats what will be fitted...
