Owner feedback on the Bridgestone Turanza T005 is mixed (average 68.6%), but most agree it delivers dependable everyday grip, particularly on dry roads and often in the wet too. Comfort and fuel efficiency are also frequent highlights, with many describing an easy, relaxed touring feel. The main drawbacks are refinement and longevity: around a third of owners complain about road noise, while tread life is debated and slightly leans negative overall, with many reporting quicker-than-expected wear. A smaller but notable group (around one in five) also dislike the steering feel, often describing it as light or lacking feedback, and a few report weak performance in cold weather.

Second year. 21000km and same performance as the day one. I've never was loyal to big brands and ever made decisions after research. These tyres are going to make me a Brigestone loyal customer. Predictable, safe, comfortabe and real fuel save tyres. I recommend it for calm touring drve.

Done 32k Miles on my Ford Focus on the front tyres for 80% of its life.
Majority Motorway driving but with a good amount of local/london driving.
Over the last 2 years they have saved me in the very wet and dry. They will help stop a car when you need to stop, if that's a cat running into the road at 20 mph or motorway just stops and your doing 70 to 0.

A very good tyre at a very fair price. A bit noisy, but very safe compared to what I was used to. On the wet road, I could really feel more confidence. Handles really well on dry or wet. Would buy again.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Bridgestone Turanza T005? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I drive them for 37.000 kilometers on a Citroen C4 HDi with 66kW power . Before them I had Michelin Energy saver (came from factory) for 40.000 Km , Michelin Primacy 3 for 35.000Km and Michelin Crossclimate+ for 26.000Km . My driving style is easy going and I'm moving from Athens (Hellas) to Korinthos via national road with a speed range up to 120Km/h . 90% of driving is at national road and 10% at city .The tyre is very good on dry road and also good on wet . I would be very satisfied with this tyre IF it was not very noisy and this is the only reason for not buying it ...
First off, my brand new Mazda 3 2019 came with Turanza 005a (after research I found out that these tyres are made for Singapore). The grip on these is absoluteley mindblowing. I tried disrupting the grip level at normal speed by entering corners and then pulling inside the corner to create discomfort in grip. Nothing happened. They remained glued to road. I cannot give any details on wear, as I'm currently 1400km in. The tyres came brand new on the car. Will definitely buy them again, and again.
Wet & dry grip good cant really comment re. long term wear only on car past 6 months seems to be very limited wear so far. Had Potenza S001 previously got 40k miles wanted softer tyre hoping for possibly softer ride. Turanza a touring tyre ride on car improved slightly on poorer road surfaces here west of ireland.

One of the best tyres i have ever try. It's a very soft tyres with great grip on wet and dry road. Unfortunately they last only for 25.000 km with normal used
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.
I really love this tyres, previously I had fitted Goodyear Excellence which came from the factory and the car didn't feel good on corners. Since I have them I really enjoy driving around country roads, the car feels pretty good, actually, it feels like another car.
I have driven 7000 miles a Audi A4 (460kg/1,000pounds heavier but with 114hp/85kW more) fitted with Briedgestone Potenza S001 which in theory should be way better and they actually aren't, they feel quite similar to be honest, obviously, Potenza's are better but not as much as I expected them to be. Maybe if they were tested on the same car I would think differently.
After 1000 miles I think they are wearing quite much even driving usually hard.
If the road is wet, they hold quite well but sometimes they skid a little bit if you are speeding throught corners.
Also, I would like to add in the motorway at 150km/h or 93mph, my car feels a bit unbalanced, maybe it is related to the car and not to the tyres, but I wanted you to know about it just in case, better safe than sorry you know. Just as an information, my car weight 1100kg/2,425 pounds and has 85hp/63kW.
What word can you describe this tire? Balanced. Equally confident behaves in dry, wet, hot, cold weather, is not sensitive to the gauge.It is not soft, not hard, just elastic. Keep the minimum allowable pressure so that the tire does not seem too hard.
