	I've seen the P6000 SV,  THey even sell that tire at sears.  Tread
Blocks are much closer than on the normal 6000.  Question for you, do you
know why the 6000 is rated as a HP (High Performance) tire and also as an
Ultra HP tire.  Seems to fall into both categories.  Do you know why?
	Anyhow, your point about the comparison is well taken.  They may
not have considered them similar tires.  Oh well.
