Drivers' experiences with the Bridgestone Turanza T001 are mixed: many report confident, stable dry-road handling and a generally comfortable, touring-focused feel, with some achieving very high mileage. However, a large share of owners complain about weak wet grip (especially in colder/wetter conditions), occasional aquaplaning/low confidence in rain, and a tendency toward higher noise or a firmer ride. Durability is inconsistent-some see excellent tread life, while many others report premature wear (often on the front axle) and would not repurchase.

Bought a set of Turanza T001-s in the beginning of 2021 as a replacement for badly and unevenly worn-out OEM tyres (Continental EcoContact) on a 6 year old VW Passat. The ones I got were made in Russia which at first, got me a little bit sceptical but driving the whole summer and autumn, I don't have any negative feedback. Tires do their job very well. Were quite normally priced at 312 euros. Yet to determine wear rate on them.
These were fitted from new on seat Mii fr line. When new they are Ok for grip in dry and poor in the wet.
Wear rate is high on such a small and light car which is only driven modestly and us never pushed.
More of a concern is they started to crack within the tread pattern after only around 10 months from production.
I think forr the money they are a poor quality tyre and I wouldn't buy again as they just don't measure up to the other tyres I have used in the past.
My other car has Goodyear eagle vector 4 season tyres which are better in every way than the Bridgestone and I would highly recommend those without hesitation.

I never had problems on performance but the wear is way to high. Only 30.000 km.
Never had such a low durability on Michelin Pilot Sport 3 / Vredestein Sportac 5 / Pirelli PZero / Uniroyal(don't remember the model) / Goodyear (don't remember the model)
If you don't care about your money and environement maybe I could recommend them.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Bridgestone Turanza T001? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
Poor lasting tyre - wears comparatively quickly. I got less than 24,000 km (15,000 miles) out of them. Wouldn't buy again, and am wary of Bridgestone tyres in general. Poor quality for a supposed premium tyre manufacturer. Had Hankook Ventus Prime on same car previously - they lasted around 45,000km - they are recommended.

Very soft tyres. Gets punctured lots of time on Indian roads . It is only good for highways
Tyres seem really soft rubber if you push them with your finger, compared to other tyres. I have only driven less than 6000 miles and already I have had two punctures. Either I’m really unlucky or it must be something about the softness of these tyres making them more prone to punctures.
Got this tyres with the car when I bought it.
On dry roads the tyres are comfortable with good (as good as it can be) feel an feel nice to drive.
In the wet however they are borderline dangerous. Very low wet grip and very bed at wet braking. Can not recomend them.
Nice day
In a total of 5,000 miles from new I have had 3 punctures on these tyres. I could just be unlucky, but they seem to me be quite puncture prone. I'm looking to replace all 4 now with something better
Got 4 new tires. Drove around 30,000km (18,600 miles). They were good in the beginning, low sound. I was happy. But after a few months the grip was no longer good and to my surprise one of the tires had its top rubber layer come off when I was driving. And it did not show any sign of damage. I believe it was manufacture fault. That was a big lesson for me, don't trust Bridgestone! The dealer also did not exchange the tire. I was very annoyed. I would recommend Yokohama, used them for many years, they are still the best for me.
