Todd, I just checked and I can't agree with you.  The test was between
the
P7000SuperSport (an all season tire, treadwear is around 320 I think)
and
the P6000, a summer tire with a tread wear around 180.  The all season
version of the P6000 is the P6000 Sport Veloce, and was NOT in the test.
The P6000SV has the same 320 wear as the P7000SS, so I think this is a
more comparable tire.  The other tire in the comparison was the P-Zero,
so I suppose you could say they weren't really trying to compare similar
tire, just an overview of some Perelli products.

Go back to the test, and click on the P6000.  Then go to tire brands,
click on Perelli, and then P6000 Sport Veloce, you will see the
difference.
