205/50 17 Tire Review Highlights
Bridgestone Turanza 6 rated 92% while driving a Volvo V40, 2013 D2

Replaced good old trusty Pirelli P7s for these after having really great experience with Bridgestone’s Blizzak 05.
I’ve read all the test I could find comparing Turanza 6 with Pirelli Cinturato P7 and they’ve seemed on par in wet which is the most important for me (yeah, Volvo owner…). The main difference in reviews was in handling feel.
And I must say, the reviews were accurate or I just impressed the results so deep in my head that I have to agree with them. Turanza 6 is amazingly comfortable (really soft sidewall compared with tires with same weight index), quiet and just overall calm tire. If you like to chill, go legal speeds and simply be reasonable, it’s perfect and I could not be happier.
The negative comes if you like to feel something or enjoy a bit of fun on b roads. It takes just a bit of extra time to settle in turn. The weight transfer of the car feels a bit more pronounced than with the Pirelli P7. It’s not dealbreaker, it’s just a quirk that’s good to know about. It never feels like more understeer or not following your commands. It just takes it’s (very short but noticeable) time to proceed.
So comparing first summer on Turanza 6 to couple of years on Pirelli Cinturato P7 is basically realizing that I kind of like all the comfort and quietness over the “sportier” more direct but also harsher Pirelli. Yeah, Volvo owner…

At first amazing best tire i ever had.
Now very loud and feel like i am not in total control. Front tires raised and should be replaced. 5.7mm tread is left after 21000 km all on highway to berlin, sweden, and hamburg!

Set of 310s amazed at how much better than the Goodyears they replaced. Quite, comfortable and good road feel. Have no idea the wet hasn’t rained in two months here! We will see but most impressed at the moment!

Fantastic tires. Running these on my Mazda 3. Very impressed with the traction. Ride quality is better than I expected based on tread design. I'm currently at approx 40,000km on the tires and they are still sitting at 80% tread remaining based on the measurements at my last tire rotation. Would buy again - recommend as a more affordable all-weather option to anyone that asks.

Corners well and wet handling is nice but horrible wear during under sun. As a finnish tire it wore rapidly at summer during pandemic. First spiderweb appearence at all sides. Then sidewalls began to separate and wires become visible...

I bought these tires as they were all my local tire company had in stock - they have turned out to be extremely good, far better than my previous Nokian WR D4 tires. They are amazingly quiet & seem to offer plenty of grip & low rolling resistance. They're also enjoyable to drive on a twisty road - I was always conscious of having much narrower & higher profile winter tires before (summer size is 235/35/19, so quite a difference), but with these, it's easy to forget. They're even effective outwith the normal "window" for winter tires (I drove over 600 miles in 2 days, with the temperature not dropping below 11c).
In short, although these are a "mid range" tire (& one I wouldn't have bought if I hadn't needed them in a hurry), I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, they have surprised me with how good they are! I haven't experienced proper winter conditions yet (just a few heavy frosts), but impressive so far.

Put on the car as a replacement for Goodyear Vector 4S at the recommendation of our trusted tire fitter. Decent mid-range tires.
Grip well in the dry with good feedback from the road. Handles wet weather pretty well too, no sliding in corners and no wheelspin off the line.
During the recent cold snap, they have performed brilliantly. Coupled with the 2008's Grip Control snow and ice have been no problem, particularly our steep hill out of the estate. The car has gripped well and hauled us out on to a treated road.
Overall I've been quite impressed with these tires, even though the design is getting on a bit.

Terrible terrible tires. In the dry very average but in the wet these tires are very dangerous. Traction control light never off in the wet and as the temperature drops they get worse. They were fitted brand new from Arnold Clark on the car I bought. I have swapped them out after only 2000miles and fitted Goodyear vector 4all season tires and the car is transformed.

I've driven on the GY UGP+ for a full winter season now and for me it just clicked. In this category you don't expect downsides or problems, but the GY exceeded my expectation. I am all about the comfort and feel of the tire and even with frameless doors I wasn't too much disturbed by the noise. Excellent tires to be driving on snow, as long as your bumper isn't turning into a snow plow.
