The P6 allroad was the OEM tire for my Audi. It was a so-so performer. Not horrible, but certainly not a performance tire. There are a lot of better tires out there. Treadwear was poor; I got 17K out of mine.
I tried a set of Falken Ziex 512s next. They were MUCH better than the P6s. But treadlife was again only about 17K as they wore out on the inside & outside edges. I ran about 40 psi in 'em; I should have run 45 psi (51 psi max). Then I probably could have gotton 25K out of them.
My current tire is the Yokohama AVID H4S. It may not have quite the performance of the Falkens but it's rated for 60,000 miles. I'll be happy if I can get 30,000 out of them, given my previous experience.
Another contender was the Dunlop Sport A2 Plus, but they are currently unavailable in my car's size.
I was looking for an all-season tire that would do well in the wet & dry, handle well, be reasonably quiet and comfortable, be at least H-rated, and have good treadlife. Your priorities may differ.
