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.

Pros:
- Great handling, brake and grip in the dry.
- Even better in the wet.
- Very stable at highway speed and on a twisty roads.
- Feedback is best I had with tyre ever since I drive a car /more than 35 years/.
- Good economy.
Cons:
- Need a little warm up for best results.
- These tyres are noisy.
- I suppose they'll fit better on a cars with softer suspencion.
Definately best Bridgestone tyres I've ever drove. They replaced my OEM Nexen's N Blue HD, ordinary tyres which I've throw away after 1000 miles.
very good grip in dry and wet conditions , smooth ride , comfortable , low rolling resistance , fuel economy , good braking , good handling in corners ,

It's unbelievable what progress Bridgstone made in comparison to previous T001. This one is more comfortable, more stable in cornering, better in dry conditions and superior in the wet. The only slight weakness is the noise. The handle is predictibale in the wet with slight tendensy to understeer in dry, but I like it. Back in the years I always use to trust the Michelin most, but now I'm more satisfied with the direct and precize behaviour of Bridgstone's. Yes they are louder, harder and lasted less but I'll stick with them. I recommend these tyres for either calm and spirited drivers.

I went for Turanza T005 based on positive rewievs and expecting a mild and wet winter.
I drove around 2000 miles since then on mostly wet and cold roads with temps around 0-10 C.
Excellent wet grip and handling with a lot of feedback. Very low noise, quite pleased. Previously I had T001, also not bad, very predictable tyre and Nexen Nfera Su1 which had poor wet handling, I would say even dangerous.
Looking forward to spring, summer and warm weather, because on dry so far grip is sensational.
Tyre wear is OK, so far no big diff. between front/rear, it will increase later, after all it's FWD with decent hp.
I didn't drive to the limit due to low temps.
I would buy them again.
Initially pleased with these tyres and purchased based on the good reviews, road noise in the cabin was quieter and handling in normal city driving was good. Have now been running on them, (both front) on a FWD for 4 months and 2k miles. Have found on a quick take off a tendency for wheels to skid on the road surface wet or dry.
Now, I realise that these are summer tyres but In our recent icy road conditions with the tyres skidding on the surface and with no grip, the smell of burning tyre rubber was overwhelming leading me to believe that the rubber compound on these particular tyres are pretty soft.
I have never had this happen with any other tyres, ever, in all my driving years. I really don't hold out getting any superior mileage from these "premium" rated tyres, maybe okay on the rears but would not purchase for front replacement again.
I have changed 10 cars, so I've tried many types of tires, these Bridgestone have left me with the best impression. I believe it is the best choice for complex driving situations and with very good price.
This is best type used by me compared with other premium brands. I like them a lot and I bought them after multiple reviews and research. I drove more than 2000 miles with them on dry and wet condition, taking to the limit on corners and also driving comfortable when I wanted. I feel save all the time. Also the fuel consumption it's reduced comparing other premium tires used. Bridgestone did a very good engineering job. Are very balanced on all conditions with very good feedback from the road even if it's wet or dry or you need to avoid some obstacle you will feel the car where turns immediately. I remember immediate after I put them the steering was very good comparing with Michelin or Pirelly that I used before. Bridgestone Turanza T005 it's also not expensive as premium brand. It deserves the first place in my preference and I love them. I saw couple of negative reviews but more on winter conditions or below 7°C. People these are summer tyres, don't expect to do miracles when outside is winter condition. They are the best as any tyre are used for, more than 7°C like in any regulation.
Buy them without any doubt. Are comfortable, performant, best in class for a good price.
I have just got these for the front of my Audi A4 225-50-17 I had winter tyres on the car before and it was time for a change due to weather and time of year.
WOW I have so much grip before if i put my foot down i would get a bit of spin and traction control would cut in ...These Bridgestone Turanza T005 I put my foot down in the dry so far and no spin at all the grip like Sh8Y to a blanket i have never had tyres grip like this i was not expecting that.
they are quiet and the feed back is great i can go in to a corner and these grip I and not sure of how long there last i will keep updating the wear I don't drive like a nutter most of my trips are around 80 miles and every so often a 260 trip to my Parents in London. I am in Lincolnshire the roads are 90% single land A roads and when i do my spots pictures.online I normally travel around 40 to 60 mile each way to various games.
the winter continental tyres I had on there were amazing in the snow and cold but with the warmer weather they did not grip as well so I take them of and put back on when the winter comes so i will also no if these last I expect to do around 10k this year i will keep a note of the tyre depth every 1000 miles I do.
If these last well and the grip stays though the tyres life I will be very happy.
I paid £240 for 2 tyres fitted at 225-50-17.
The tires are the best, I was buy the tires 1 month ago, for this period the tires is good, I tested on the dry and wet with 120KM/h, and braking is quite short.
Fitted these to my Golf a few weeks ago...and v glad I did so. Drive back from Scotland in sleeting conditions, with slush on motorway...great traction on slushy road...and v sure footed during aqua planing. Road noise and mpg excellent Please sir...can I have some more!
