One of the reasons for posting here was to expand my search to the
knowledge base that exists on the mailing list. I wanted to be sure
that I wasn't overlooking any viable options by being too narrow in
my search field (mostly tirerack.com)
Apparently, according to searches on the Pirelli web site, the P6 is
no longer available in a 14" wheel diameter. In fact, the _only_ 14"
tire they offer in the acceptable size range (185/60 and 185/65-14)
is the Cinturato Winter. If I was willing to bust back to tiny
175/65-14, I'd have two choices, with the Ice Zero added to the above.
From this end of the screen, I'd say you will want to baby your P6's
for another 30k, because finding a replacement set will be difficult.
This is the same situation I'm having with my diesel Rabbit. It needs
tires badly, but the Michelin Pilot Exacto A/S 195/60-14 that it has
are no longer manufactured. These have been by far the best tires I
have ever owned, and I'd buy another set without a thought, but
apparently manufacturers are dropping support for the 14" wheel
diameter throughout the industry. This will mean another research
project in the near future, although low rolling resistance isn't a
major factor in my decision on tires for that car.
