shadow,
You haven't inserted your car details in your signature but up until 2000, the P6000 was the recommended tyre on all wheel variants. P4000 was also a recommended tyre on most of the wheel sizes but not the 8J x 16.
I've had 4000s & 6000s on both my XJS & the XJ8. I found the 4000 a slightly more compliant tyre and it gave great mileage. But the 6000 was a better handling tyre (& I prefer the tread pattern on the 6000s).
Good luck with your choice
Paul
