205/45 18 Tire Review Highlights

Bridgestone Turanza T005 rated 51% while driving a MINI Cooper S
Driving on a combination of roads for 8000 average miles
The tires were already fitted to the car when we bought the car. Not my choice of tires, if I had to pick them. Nevertheless here are my thoughts. Dry and wet grip were average. Nothing special. Comfort was horrible. Unacceptable for a touring tire. This is my wife’s daily car and she can’t stand the ride. When we switch to winter tires in same dimensions (Michelin Alpin 6) the comfort level is MUCH better. Wear isn’t bad, could be better. It bothers me that the tires feel so hard and uncomfortable, but there aren’t any apparent benefits to this (wear, grip, noise…) maybe fuel consumption.

Landsail LS988 rated 36% while driving a Citroën DS4
Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 average miles
Got these tires fitted to a Citroën ds4, and have used them for 7 months, in different weathers. In the dry , they are OK, if noisy. If it's wet, don't even think about going round a roundabout at faster than walking pace, you just slide out, massive under steer. Useless in the snow. Avoid these dangerous tires.
