	Not according to Tire Rack.  They have them listed as the same use
tire.  The "Summer" Version of the P7000ss is the P7000 (P7000 summer)
Same construction but ss has 320 treadwear rating compared to P-7000
summer 160 tread wear rating.  The P6000 is rated as a High Performance
All Season Tire like the P7000ss BUT is does have a lower tread wear
rating if that is an indication.  I think it is around 200 treadwear.
Anyhow, They are different tires but both are All Season of sorts.  You
are right though if you consider "fair" being same tread wear too which i
do in some ways.  Just passing on info.  L8R
