P6000? Yuk.

The "wave" groove on the left would channel water to the left. The "wave" groove on the right would just dead-end before the center groove. I suppose a small amount of water could be sucked into the right groove for a little standing water relief, but wouldn't it be a better idea to simply evacuate the water?
I guess that's not as bad as my Dunlop D60M2 tires. It was a great dry weather tire, but they improved the steering response/handling by stopping the channel right at the edge of the tire. It would then dead-end the water evacuation channel and hydroplane in very little standing water at highway speeds.
I just wonder where people like GC4lunch find roads where standing water is never an issue.
As for the RE960AS - that also evacuates a small amount of water through the sides, although most would be pumped out of the three wide longitudinal grooves.
