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.
Tyre Reviews RepliesIf 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.

These tires don’t last. Had to replace at around 10,000 miles. Inner tread wear was extreme.

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.

2022 qashqai.15000 miles over 2years.Advised that tyre wear down to 3mm/4mm.Need changing soon.Where are people getting exaggerated miles recorded from.I am not a boy racer and try to slow down without excessive braking,so I cannot agree with wear achieved by some reviews.

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.

Wear very good compared to my previous car ( Volvo S80D5) had Toyo tyres that needed changing every 10-15k or so ..
