2025 Motor Low Rolling Resistance (AA) Tyre Test

4th of 7 tyres

The Bridgestone Turanza T005, despite being a model being phased out of the market, delivers solid performance across most test categories. It particularly excels in aquaplaning resistance, winning the curved aquaplaning test with 2.98 m/sec² and placing second in straight aquaplaning. The Bridgestone also scores well in subjective dry handling assessment (second place with 6.9 points), showing good driver feedback and precision. Its main weaknesses appear in wet braking (sixth place at 54.2 meters) and external noise (last place at 66.8 dB). With respectable rolling resistance and good dry handling characteristics, the Turanza T005 demonstrates why it was a successful premium tyre, though its balanced but not class-leading performance in most categories explains its tied fourth-place finish despite its premium pricing (€437).

2024 Sport Auto Summer Tyre Test

3rd of 6 tyres

The Turanza T005 AO, optimised for the Audi A1, is grippy on dry roads and when it rains. It has low rolling resistance, good rolling comfort, and high protection against longitudinal aquaplaning.
The rear axle is more susceptible to load changes at the limit.
Generally grippy and easy-rolling. Could be more balanced.

Tyre Reviews Best Summer Touring Tyres

3rd of 13 tyres

Ok wet grip, good aquaplaning resistance, very good dry braking, extremely low rolling resistance.
Extended wet braking, sluggish dry handling, high external noise.
The Bridgestone lost a few points for wet braking, where it was pretty average, and dry handling where it felt sluggish and down on grip of the best, but this tyre absolutely crushed the rolling resistance test, a full 15% better than the second best tyre, which was the Goodyear. IF you drive an EV or plug in hybrid, this might be the best of the group. Highly recommended.

Questions and Answers for the Bridgestone Turanza T005

Ask a question

August 10, 2018

Are these tyres suitable for the 2009 Honda F-rv cdti EX 2.0l diesel

As long as you match the size and load rating specified by Honda, there's no reason the T005 wouldn't be suitable.

September 3, 2018

Would it be OK to have these on front with my conti premcontacts 5s on rear... On a Golf...

As long as you're changing in pairs that shouldn't be an issue. The usual advice is to put the newest tyres on the rear of the car.

September 24, 2018

I'm about to buy a pair of tires to replace a set of very satisfying Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance 205/55 R16 91V I've been driving for the past 3 and a half years. I've been reading about the latest tests on this size, hoping to find the Goodyears still being good enough. But they seem to have been beaten by the latest generation of Michelins, Contis and Bridgestones. I've looked at the current prices and have all but decided in choosing between a set of T005 or Primacy 4. The Bridgestone seem more satisfying overall but the Michelins are known for lasting longer and have better wet braking. They're slightly more expensive (10%) but do carry rim protection (whitch I sort of like). Could you help me decide on whitch to go for a family estate driven mostly in town or B roads?

Both are excellent tyres. Michelin perform very well through the whole life of the tyre which means I would probably side with them, however it is going to be super close between the two.

October 6, 2018

Well-known web tyre outlet currently has the 205/55 R16 91W cheaper than the 91V. Is there any potential disadvantage with going for the 91W? (Will the W be heavier?)

Without knowing the specifics of the tyre it's hard to say, but the differences will be tiny if there are in fact any at all. Just be sure one of the tyres isn't OE marked for a car manufacturer.

January 31, 2019

Is there much rim protection on these? Do they offer even a small kerbing lip?

Rim protection can differ per size, so you would have to speak to Bridgestone to work out what rim protection your size of T005 might offer.

February 18, 2019

I got the Bridgestone Turanza T005 in size 225/40/18 with my new Golf GTI Performance which I drive since December. I didn't use them yet, as I'm now on winter tyres. I'm a bit disappointed that I got touring tyres with a sporty car and I'm considering selling them and getting the Michelin PS4. Can I please have some advice? Some info about my driving habits: I never go to a track, I tend to drive carefully in suboptimal (ie. wet) conditions, I don't care for wear as I'm typically driving around 9000 miles a year and will probably change my tyres due to age first, not wear I don't care for mileage unless it's a crazy difference like 20% I DO care for comfort and reasonable wet grip for daily driving (would be afraid to drive the Cup 2's just from looking at the tread) and I'd like to have some fun in dry conditions (grip when launching, mountain roads etc) My question is, how much of the sportiness am I sacrificing with the Turanza's compared to PS4's? Along the lines of your test of PS4 vs PS4S vs Cup2, if PS4 is 100% sporty, how would you rate Turanza? How much comfort am I sacrificing going the other way around?

A good question. Given the T005 just won the 2019 ADAC tyre test (now on the site) I would certainly try them before worrying about changing. It doesn't look like you'll get any extra grip from any other brands, and I'm not sure there would be a huge step in handling with something like the PS4. Give the T005 ago, you might be surprised!

March 3, 2019

Hi. I'm looking at a set of these in 195/50 R 16 for a current model MX5. Its my wife's daily car so sportiness isn't the main thing here but good wet performance is up there. It does get taken onto B roads for fun at the weekends so progressive handling is a secondary requirement if not ultimate handling grip. Is there any other tyre I should be considering? These are for summer use only.

In that size, the Bridgestone is a good option. The only other possibility would be the Dunlop Sport BluResponse, but that's now an older pattern.

April 26, 2019

Hello! Thinking of T005 for my Q3 (235/55R17), or else I'll go for the FK510. In your opinion, what are the main differences between these two for such a car? Pls consider that the roads I drive provide minimum traction (slippery tarmac, esp. when light rain after several dry days), with lots of bumps as well. P.S. I guess you know you're doing a great job!

In theory the T005 should be more comfort bias, and the FK510 a little more sporty but in reality they will be very close. The Falken seems to test a little more consistently.

May 26, 2019

Hi, I am thinking of changing from a 195/55/16 to a 205/55/16, would this effect the gearing or anything else with the car, as it would make it a taller tyre.

Yes is would make the car accelerate more slowly and change the accuracy of the speedo. If you google "tyre size calculator" you will be able to get accurate data on this change.

October 14, 2019

I just bought Traunza T005 195 /65 /15 for my Honda Civic 2005 VTI 1.6. I feel that its noisy and side walls are very soft. Can i get any explanation for this?

Nearly all modern touring tyres have thin, soft sidewalls as it helps reduce rolling resistance. It might seem louder than the tyres it replaced due to higher tread depth tyres being more noisy than very worn tyres.

November 29, 2019

I just mounted Turanza T005 to my Audi Q2 and ever since i feel the road resistance much more in low speeds and at high speeds the whole cabin is vibrating (not very intensely but I can feel it) . I have balanced the tires in 3 different professionals 4 times in total but nothing changed. Am I suppose to feel this way while driving?. Are these tires directional tires and maybe are mounted the wrong way? Can i check if the tires are mounted the wrong way?

No, the T005 cant be mounted backwards, but it must be mounted with the outside on the outside of the wheel. If the wheels are balancing fine it would indicate the potential for a damaged tyre, damaged wheel, or suspension issues with the car.

September 26, 2022

I want to replace my E Class front Wheels with Tarunza T005 RFT’s but most websites show them as BMW tyres. Is their a specific BMW variant or are they all the same and can I put them on my E Class? When I bought the car it had new Tarunza rears which I why I want to match the set up

If they're showing it as a BMW tyre it will be a specific BMW runflat. IF you can't find an aftermarket version then it might be that it's a size only made in a BMW runflat. Usually the differences between BMW And Mercedes OE demands are pretty close so it probably wouldn't be the end of the world if you ended up running it.

Can the 265/60R18 T005 be fitted to a Toyota Prado VX 4.0l 2018 model?

Sorry, we can't advise on specific vehicle fitment. Generally you need to match the tyre size and load rating in the handbook. The information can also be found on the door shuts.

Why do my new Bridgestone tyres only have 6mm tread depth?

Some manufacturers are putting lower starting tread depths on their tyres in order to lower the rolling resistance and / or save money.

Hi, I want to replace tyres on my Hyundai Scoupe - 185/60 R14. I had the original Goodyear efficientgrip performance, they dont make Goodyear efficientgrip performance 2 in this size.... I can buy the same goodyear ones but Turanza T005 looks better as newer pattern. Some other options for me? Thank you ;)

The Turanza T005 is an excellent tyre in the smaller sizes. Some people do report high wear, however if you don't drive a huge amount of miles it might not be an issue for you.

I have to say I've never had so bad tires in my 25 years of driving on any of our cars than these Bridgestone Turanza T005 tires. Bought them 3 years ago, they only lasted 25000 miles. No grip at all, stopping power is basically zero (abs kicks in most of the times) at the smallest rain the tires are skidding in roundabouts, tires spinning out in wet conditions, these shouldn't be road legal! The 8mm thread went down to almost below legal now after 25000 miles. Had Michelin Primacy 3 before and they lasted for almost twice as long. Tyre on passenger side tends to spin out on our Audi A3 Sportback, these tires were made in Hungary and Turkey so don't buy any of these!. Never again.

Positive: Amazingly good grip on dry and wet roads. It is extremely safe to drive a car with these tires. The car’s fuel consumption is really very low with Turazna T005. Negative: I think it wears out relatively quickly. I was able to drive roughly 45,000 km (28,000 miles) with these. The grip is very temperature dependent. Excellent in warm and hot. Not bad in cool weather either. Around 8 degrees Celsius, it no longer feels safe. I use winter tires in winter, but it can be relatively cold in both fall and spring. I’ve never had a summer tire that has lost so much from gripping because of the temperature. The tire is very loud, which ruins comfort. In terms of safety, I am not satisfied with aquaplaning resistance alone. That could be better. I would only buy it again if the sound insulation of my car would be much better. I'm switching to Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 now.

Given 70% while driving a Ford c max (205/50 R16) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles

Solid and safe everyday tires.
They do everything well if you use them as they should be used and they have no weakness until you push them.

But they are not sport (uhp) tyres. You can push them, they will survive, but outer shoulders will wear fast. As expected, softer sidewall and less precision than usual sport tyre.

By far the worst tire I had in the wet, borderline dangerous. Driving comfort average at best. On dry it grips really well, but man, in the wet, oh my. Had them on new CX 30, changed them immediately for all season Continental AllSeasonContact 2. Huge difference in wet grip, and in comfort. I can recommend these Bridgestones only for someone living and driving in an area where you don't get much rain.

If they were the tyre that came with the vehicle from new, it is very likely that the performance balance of the tyre has been moved in favour of rolling resistance, which is driven by the vehicle manufacturers targets. The 'regular' version of the T005 is uslaly very good in the wet.

After 21000miles and 5years the tires have excessive wear The wet grip is non-existent from the 1st day. The dry grip is average while there spin a lot when accelerating sharply. Definitely I'll not buy again.

Fit a set of these Turanza T005 last year Sept. 2023 on my Audi Q5 and only have another 1-2000km left for each tyre. Swopped tyres around on 8000km and not as usual on 10 000km. Currently standing on 15 000km and searching for tyres. Really not happy, will not recommend.

Good tyre. I would definitely buy it again if it was on sale but I feel like for the price. It doesn't last long. My car is mainly forward wheel drive and the front ones lasted like 15k miles.. the back will probably last up to 20k miles.

Given 49% while driving a Mazda Mazda 6 GL Wagon (225/45 R19) on a combination of roads for 34,000 spirited miles

A hard wearing OEM factory original tyre that was used for 6 years and 55000 km. The tyre tread is still very sufficient, but it is already unsafe to drive on - the wet grip decidedly awful. You will get wheel spin just with a mist of water, or on a drying road, with only moderate throttle input. Dry grip is sufficient but you can feel that the car is just a little on edge if you brake too hard while cornering. The feedback is excellent, if only because you can feel every bump and dip in the road surface. Obviously the ride is extremely bumpy, and road noise was quite loud. The steering got very heavy as the tyres aged, and some brake screeching started to occur even at very light braking between 40km/h and 60km/h. All issues, including the steering and the brake screeching, were solved when replaced with new tyres. I would not recommend these tyres to anyone.

Factory fitted on an Audi Q2, 2 years old, checked depth at 11,000 miles and fronts were really low, had to rotate, tyres 3/4 worn. I don't drive fast, I'm a pensioner and I have never had tyres wear so fast and I only cover 6,000 miles a year and yes I check tyre pressures regularly. I have had all sorts of cars from a Lotus Sunbeam in the 70s to a VW Tiguan with 170 bhp and all top tyre brands I have used in the past have lasted longer than these. I could have been driving with illegal tyres if I hadn't checked them in less than 3 years.

I loved the tyre, but the wear is terrible. I have to replace them within 30,000km, while other tyres I used before on this car relatively easily managed 60k.. (Goodyear Efficientgrip performance)

Also I have the feeling the rolling resistance measured in tests is not applicable to real life. With the Goodyears I managed better fuel mileage.

Car came with Bridgestone fitted tyres, I’ve driven on them for 3 years /30k miles on motorways, B roads etc , very long journeys through UK and Europe.

When I bought the car UK had a massive amount of snow it handled the snow decently

Wet handling was superb confirmed by v good handling on very difficult wet weather where I couldn’t feel any loss of grip like I felt on different type of tyres albeit on a diferent car.

Dry Handling good nothing to write home about which I presume might be a positive.

Breaking good
Sound proofing average
Comfort average
Fuel consumption v average
Wear very good compared to my previous car ( Volvo S80D5) had Toyo tyres that needed changing every 10-15k or so ..
