Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3
Expect a tight contest in dry and wet stopping distances, with Pirelli typically edging dynamic tests (handling, aquaplaning, comfort/noise) and Bridgestone shining in efficiency over the long haul. If you prioritize lively, confidence-rich dynamics year-round, the SF3 frequently leads; if you want dependable braking, strong mileage and better ownership costs, the Turanza AS6 makes a compelling case.

While it might look like the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is better than the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 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
- Best-in-group wet braking across many tests (e.g., 31.3 m vs 31.5 m; 34.3 m vs 34.8 m)
- Excellent tread life and lower abrasion (e.g., +33% wear advantage in multiple Auto Bild tests)
- Consistently strong value/cost per 1,000 km and competitive pricing
- Stable, summer-like dry feel with dependable braking and good aquaplaning in a straight line
- Class-leading overall balance with 12 test wins and dominant handling
- Superior wet and snow dynamics: more wet handling wins (12-1) and stronger snow traction/handling
- Better aquaplaning resistance (straight and curved) and typically lower noise/greater comfort
- Often shortest dry braking and very competitive rolling resistance in several tests

Real World Driver Reviews
Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 Driver Reviews
Drivers generally describe the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 as a confidence-inspiring all-season tyre with strong wet performance (including good aquaplaning resistance) and very capable dry grip that can feel close to a summer tyre. Comfort and refinement are frequently praised, with many finding it quiet and plush for daily touring, alongside solid tread life expectations. A recurring minority drawback is a numb/soft steering feel that reduces "fun" and feedback, with some also noting slightly higher rolling resistance/fuel use and occasional motorway-speed harshness or noise.

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 Driver Reviews
Across 44 reviews, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is widely praised as a top-tier all-season tyre with strong dry and especially wet grip/braking, plus reassuring performance in snow for a 4-season. Many drivers also highlight low cabin noise, good comfort, predictable handling at the limit, and wear that looks encouraging for the mileage covered. The main recurring downside is inconsistent quality control reported by several users (out-of-round tyres causing vibration/shimmy and warranty frustration), and a smaller but repeated theme that the tyre can feel softer/less responsive than a true summer tyre-particularly in warmer temperatures or when driven very sportily.
Based on 44 reviews with an average rating of 83%
In dry conditions manages to have acceptable levels of grip in a straight line, slight wheel spin sometimes but cannot complain since the M2 is RWD 365bhp.
Very strong tyre in the dry and super progressive, really lets you know when it does begin to slip when doing spirited driving. A big strong point as these tyres still allow the vehicle to be driven in a sporting manner.
In the wet they are okay for wet straight line grip, it spins up pretty... Continue reading this review using the link below
Conclusion
Choose the SF3 if you drive in varied weather and value precise steering, composed limits and strong wet/snow balance. Pick the Turanza AS6 if you want top-tier braking security, long tread life and lower cost per kilometer, and you face milder winters. The practical takeaway: SF3 for performance-leaning all-weather confidence; Turanza AS6 for cost-effective year-round security and durability.

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.
