Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Imperial All Season Driver

Test Results

Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been four tests which compare both tyres directly!

While it might look like the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is better than the Imperial All Season Driver purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Key Strengths

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

• Class-leading wet braking and aquaplaning resistance (e.g., 45.0 m vs 55.2 m wet stop; +10-20% margins)
• Consistently shorter dry stops and secure handling
• Complete winter capability with superior snow traction, braking, and handling
• Balanced, high-level performance across vehicle sizes and tests

Imperial All Season Driver

• Low purchase price and strong value appeal
• Quiet external noise in multiple tests
• Acceptable dry-road behavior with stable lap times
• Occasionally low rolling resistance scores

Real World Driver Reviews

Conclusion

The Turanza All Season 6 dominates the objective data: 4/4 overall test wins and clean sweeps in dry and wet braking, aquaplaning resistance, and all snow disciplines. Typical gaps are large-around 15-20% shorter wet stopping distances and materially higher aquaplaning thresholds-translating to clear safety margins in real traffic. Dry performance is also stronger, with sharper handling and shorter stops, though Bridgestone can be a touch louder and sometimes carries higher rolling resistance.
Imperial's case rests on low price and quietness, but tests repeatedly flag extended wet braking, weak aquaplaning reserves, and only borderline snow capability. For most all-season buyers, the Bridgestone is the safer, more rounded choice and the better value once performance is weighed-especially in mixed climates. If cost and cabin quiet are absolute priorities in predominantly dry, mild conditions, Imperial can suffice, but it demands driving compromises.

Key Differences

• Safety-critical wet braking: Bridgestone shorter by 18-20% in multiple tests (e.g., 43.9 m vs 54.8 m).
• Aquaplaning resilience: Bridgestone holds notably higher straight and curved thresholds (+10-30%).
• Snow performance: Bridgestone leads in braking, traction, and handling (often double-digit advantages).
• Dry stopping: Bridgestone consistently shorter (e.g., 38.1 m vs 43.7 m; +13%).
• Noise: Imperial is quieter by ~1-1.5 dB in SUV tests.
• Efficiency: Rolling resistance mixed-Imperial occasionally lower; Bridgestone sometimes higher but also posts wins.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.

Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
