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.

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.
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.
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 ..
Worst tyre I have ever owned. I installed these tyres on. 2.2D Mazda 3 and honestly handled worse than with the Dunlop sp sports with 55000km at 5 years old. Have recently bought a brand new Mazda 3 with the same tyres and it has just confirmed my opinions. I wouldn't say they are any less comfortable or loud than other tyres but if you appreciate handling any more than just having a car take you from A to B I would avoid these tyres.
Worst tyre ever, not safe in bad conditions and the tyres crack all the way around which make any puncture repair impossible. Can’t understand why this tyre cracking is not a bigger issue and drivers compensated. And why vw and Audi use them?
I am shocked after switching from winter tires to these ones because I have LESS grip on dry with these than with the winters on 20 degrees celsius weather.
