Bridgestone Turanza ER300 Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 157 reviews

Owners most consistently praise the Bridgestone Turanza ER300 for dry grip, while wet grip receives more praise than criticism but is less convincing. Longer-term accounts often describe good tread life, although wear varies substantially and around one in five reviews criticise it. Road noise is the clearest recurring complaint, raised in roughly one in four reviews, despite quieter experiences from others. Comfort is evenly divided between praise and criticism. A minority of longer-term accounts describe declining wet grip, but repeat reviews do not establish a consistent ageing pattern.

Unfortunately the noise created by these tyres is far too high .A shame as the rest of the tyre spec is good
Have now changed to Michellins Cross Climates - what a difference ,very quiet

My car had them on since i bought it used. They were 1 year old with around 10000km on. They were planted on the road, had good feedback, i can say they were very good on the highway, but that's it. They scared me 2-3 times most in wet condition, also in dry they were trying to find grip. Conclusion overall not a bad tire, but not something special either. The car is 08 ibiza sport 3dr with sport suspension and for one year use, i changed them. (uncofortable for my suspension setup and the compound became hard until it didn't find grip and always using esp when i went faster in the corners). Wear was good and you had a good feedback on the wheel. I'd rather buy something else for the same price.

I'll start by saying that I've never liked Bridgestone tyres when I've tried them in the past (twice now), but after having these fitted to a new car all I can say is how much of an improvement these are over other Bridgestone tyres I've tried.

They're good in all conditions, nice and quite, comfortable and are wearing very well at the moment. They're not a sporty tyre, but perform very well in their intended use as a touring tyre.

Practically faultless.

Very good tyre.

Wanted some Potenzas to replace my very good Nokian NRVi but the Turanza ER300 were comparable.

Very good everywhere and a great tyre to play in the wet rain too if wanted.

Confort, handling, wet handling, durability, very good.

These tyres came with the car when bought in 2008, it's now 2015 and I've just changed them! I really didn't need to as they were still fine but I knew it was time for a change. So that proves that the longevity is excellent. In terms of the grip, it's brilliant all year round, whether wet or dry. Overall, a fantastic tyre, would definitely by again!

A safe tyre is my summary for these. Handling s fine grip wet and dry is fine if not quite the very best - but very safe. Ride is smooth and stable, straight line stability excellent on motorways. These are not as sporty feeling as the Conti PC2, The Dunlop 2030 or the Falken ZIEX914 I have also used on the same car - but they 'feel' lovely - a little bouncy and rubbery feeling when very new

Fantastic longevity - factory fitted on 2012 Civic done around 45k miles and although it's a last season will probably last for another 5 (MOT last month showed 4mm left). Very good grip on dry and no nasty surprises on wet or while cornering so all good. Has rim protection which is always a bonus.

The bad side is the noise and the ride is rather on the firm side.

Still would buy again!

Have just clocked 71,000kms on these tires I rotated them once and could push for another 2000Km's before replacement. Overall the tires have worn evenly and functioned well and would certainly recommend them on that basis alone. Handling characteristics are very even and well matched by the factory to the 2013 Skoda Octavia they are on.

The tyres came fitted on my newish Juke. The plus points are they communicate everything the road is doing. Until I looked online I thought they must be run flat tyres. The ride is hard and there is not enough grip if you try to do a serious corner at speed. I know I'm supposed to be getting greener 12k miles from a set of tyres is huge compared to the Yoko's I had five cars ago. I am going back to Michelin if they make a tyre this size. I have used Michelin tyres on my past three cars and love them. You get a balance of longevity grip and performance. Survive a motorway spin at 120mph in Germany after a defective tyre blew out and you find out why I care about tyres.

Had these tyres for four seasons (only during the summer). All in all a good tyre. I must mention that I had a few occasions (in late autumn when temperatures were lower) when vehicle did not remain on a straight path during braking, so my confidence in them was not unconditional.
