Bridgestone Turanza EL440

Original tires, rotated every 10k km with mostly highway driving with frequent heavy rainfall.

Dry performance wasn't bad, but not outstanding, able to handle gentle curves at speed and all the acceleration from a humble Camry.

Wet performance was adequate for gentle driving but did not inspire any confidence in hard braking or acceleration from stop, let alone cornering. Understeer was almost a given in any curve above moderate speed.

Road feel was communicated too well, to the point of harshness. Every crack and imperfection in the road, any patched bits or grooving were immediately felt and heard, and even 2 cm dips in the road around manholes would rattle the cabin. I had to become very familiar with every road imperfection on my commute and how to avoid them.

Winter performance was out of the question. Any unsalted patch of frost on the road would cause loss of traction.

Mileage was consistently between 5.6L/100km and 7.3L/100km on the same stretch of highway and street when driven very gently and very spiritedly, respectively.

Replaced at 46k km with 4 mm of tread left due to worsening wet weather performance.

This tire came with my 2023 Mazda CX 30. The tire has precise steering specially on dry roads. It can take turns around corner with minimal understeer and easily steer car back in a straight line with ease. However, on wet driving, there is a slight increase in understeer and have to let off the accelerator to minimize understeer around corners. Noise is more noticeable when speed is increased on highway driving and a noticeable humming on smooth asphalt road and more grumbling on a slight rough road surface. Hydroplaning is noticeable at speed of 50 mph on a rain downpour as the rear end with slight fishtailing. Bump are felt harshly even on shallow plate holes on the road and was concern that it may damage the tire sidewall but luckily did not have that problem. So, try to avoid potholes, even shallow ones, as there is a higher risk of tire puncture. I cannot comment on how it handles in cold, snowy weather as I live in sunny Florida. The tires has seen 11,000 miles on it and have notices also that there is an increased in road noise. Apparently as tire aged, more road noise is present. Will I repurchase this tire again? Most likely not. There are better tires with much better performance, less road noise, comfortable ride and better treadwear.
