Anyone running P7000's? good? bad? I have a good deal on a set and I need cheap rubber.

I do ......
I have had a set for some time now. They wear very well. Are not the stickest tire. But above average. They are really quiet and perform ver good in the rain. Be sure you are getting the P7000 super sport model.I recomend them!

P7000 (long)........
It depends on conditions, what you are looking for, etc. I had them on my car, still have the set in fact, 225/45ZR17, 50% tread left.
Anyway, assuming you are looking for Ultra High Performance All-Season, and comparing them to others in that category.
For All-Seasons I thought the Pirelli's handled the dry situations very well. I am a fast and aggressive driver (aren't we all) and I thought they handled, cornered and had good steering response, i.e. performed very well in the dry. Not as good in the wet and snow. But having said that I never got stuck in the snow with them + quattro, and I live in Chicago.
The biggest negative on them is that they can get noisy as they wear. Most do, but I have heard some people say their's didn't.
I now have the Dunlop SP Sport 5000s which I think are better tires overall. They are worse in dry situations than the P7000s, but are better in wet and snow and not as loud, that is why I made the switch. Plus, at the time everyone was raving about the SP Sport 5000s and I like to switch it up a lot, so i tried them.
My guess is the new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (haven't tried them yet) are better than all of them, but boy are they expensive.
Good luck.
