Bridgestone Turanza 6

Perfectly fine tyre for highway cruising and general driving. Can only compare it to the Continental PremiumContact 7 I had on my previous car in 205/55/16. The PC7 had amazing grip at first, but then it became mediocre. This one has more consistent grip throughout its life.

Very economical, with very good aquaplaning resistance too.

Would recommend it if you don't expect incredible grip

Turanza 6 (star-marked) is a relatively quiet for a touring tyre when new but after 11k miles on the clock, it started to show significant loss of grip on wet highway and aquaplaned at 75 kmph. Handling is all over the place and floats a lot. Sidewall is way too soft for handling composure. Tyre longevity is really good but with the poor wet handling after 11k miles, you can’t safely use the tyres to the end of useful life

Superb, very low noise, superb confort, mid handling. Over 20k miles and not even at 50%

If you are driving alot of miles and you want an allround fine tire. This is a amazing comfortable and very long lasting tyre. If you drive more sporty i would go for the old T005 but they wear much quicker. Almost did 90000km on 1 set stil not completly gone

worst tyres ever for hard ride and road noise seems to pickup every bump or variation on the road. I bought them because they were described as a comfort and quiet ride. They re as bad as Goodyear Eagle runflats that I had on my C5 Corvette which was transformed when I changed them to Avons which I had on my Rolls. These are on a XJ Jag XJ with air suspension and I cant wait for them to wear out so i will probably change them before and get Avons again. They are great for mileage though after 10k miles still have 5mmm tread which is great value but have spent more than the cost of the tyres having everything checked on the suspension to try to soften the ride running them at 28 psi all round which has helped as there is usally only me or me and the wife in the car nowadays

Car : Kia Proceed 1.5 GT line S 2021,
Replaced 2 front Turanza 5's with Turanza 6's in June with a plan of replacing other 2 once satisfied, From the outset they were noisier than the old worn tyres with an annoying "thrumming" between 30-50mph. After only 2000 miles (& wheel bearing check)they have now been replaced by Pirellis. Noise problem has disappeared along with any future loyalty to Bridgestone.

The car came in 11.2025 with Turanza T0005 and those were very bad at handling over 80 km/h, the car slided a little sometimes, fuel consumption between 9-12 l/100 km in the city, noise.
With the Turanza 6 the handling is excellent , the noise is very good even on the highway, i only tested it between 130-140 km/h.
Braking is also very good on wet and dry, a little better than T0005, but those were also very good at braking on VW Golf 8.5.
Aquaplaning is also very good.
The fuel consumption now dropped to 4.6 in the city using 100 plus gasoline from Omv.

I am mostly satisfied with this tyre. It is very silent, works great in the dry and in the wet, strong against aquaplaning. You feel like you roll easily with these on. My FWD car was understeering when I pushed, a lot more than the previous Hankook Ventus Prime 4, and there is like a delayed road feedback. Also the positive change in the fuel economy I anticipated did not come, compared to the previous tyres. Sidewall feels solid, and dirt does not stick to it. In this initial phase, I have not observed uneven wear. I feel like this tyre is more comfort and stability oriented, which is great for daily and longer travels.

My experience with Bridgstone Turanza 6 is great. I bought set after 5 years driving on Bridgestone Turanza 5. After 5 years I noticed less traction on wet surfaces.

Despite lower marks compared to Turanza 5, in my opinion as normal driver, they are the same. I cant feel any difference.

They are comfortable.
Road noise is low.
Car is equaly frugal (Mazda CX5 diesel 150hp,380Nm FWD, 4,1l/100km on open road).
On wet roads car handles normal. Fast driving is posible even under such conditions. No aquaplaning experienced.

Con can be a little bit wider cannals for water. They collect small stones very fast. Stones will make noise.
