Bridgestone Turanza 6 Reviews - Page 2

I replaced my previous tires—X Sport 86, Michelin Primacy 4, Michelin Pilot 4, Michelin Pilot 3, Tourador, and Petals— with Bridgestone Turanza 6 on May 2, 2025. So far, I’ve driven about 165 km in both dry and wet conditions. These tires are very quiet and provide a confident driving experience, even when pushed to the limit. In high-speed corners on both dry and wet roads, I haven't experienced any issues, and they feel stable.

However, there is one drawback: during a heavy rain, the tires struggled with aquaplaning on water-heavy roads. When driving through deep water or in corners with excessive water, my steering wheel tends to shift left or right, which affects confidence in very wet conditions. Additionally, the tires are softer, and I notice a bit of the soft feel when driving over speed bumps.

Overall, I think these are good tires, offering good performance and comfort, but they might have some limitations in extreme wet conditions.

I have Turnza 6 set on my Mazda CX-5 2,2 diesel (150hp, 380Nm). I did about 4000km on them on wet, dry and close to zero temperatures. .
Dry grip is excellent.
Wet grip is excellent.
There is no sign of wear.
Comfort is excellent.
Consumption is low but higher compared to Turanza 5.
I had, prior to this set, Turanza 5 set. My consumption on open road was as low as 4,1 l/100km.

I got these tires a year ago replacing a terrible Korean brand (can't remember the name) the car came with and it was a night and day difference. I took the car out for a spirited drive immediately after I left the tire shop and felt a sense of happiness I have never felt driving that car before. Wear seems good, I only do a little finger check every couple months and it doesn't seem to be too crazy like people mentioned. Noise is quiet and it's also pretty comfortable. But it should be mentioned again that I came from some pretty terrible tires so anything would be better.

I bought these to go on a new (to me) car so cannot directly compare. However I get the overwhelming impression these are at least as good (all round) as the Hankook VP4 I had on my previous Seat Ibiza (These on a Seat Arona). I have been around long enough to be able to extrapolate to a degree and realise these seem every bit as good - the Hankooks were pretty much the best I had tried on the Ibiza but was unable to get them for the Arona - however I do have a few locations where its safe to push a bit round corners (within speed limits of course ;) ) Not slowing for a tight turn on a double roundabout/one way zone the car went round on rails with no suggestion of struggle - exactly like the Ibiza/Hankooks despite being up higher. the only difference was the Arona rides a whisker softer and leans a fraction more. Comfort is great - straight line is solid and there is good feedback... Early days still so time will tell on things like wear.
The Ibiza was a Normal TSi with 16 inch alloys, The Arona is an FR with 17 inch alloys so the handling is different but closer than I expected

Well, coming from the T005 and Pzero PZ4 (the extended shoulder variant) I was expecting a major step up in everything but I got it somewhere.

The tire is good, very good, very predictable, it grips from cold either in the wet or dry. Ofc when dealing with such low profile tires steering response is to be expected nonetheless.

Comparing it to the T005 is is a much more a UHP like tire, it strays away from touring, not that I don't like that, but where it majorly lacks is in comfort, its sidewall is much much much stiffer than the T005 so it gives less comfort and most importantly less protection (give) for the suspension components. In Greece roads are utter trash, alas you want a tire to be as comfortable as it can be and protect your suspension. The T005 did that excellently, the T6 does not do that so well.

It's much more comfortable in comparison to the PZ4 and also it can work from cold while the PZ4s are like driving on ice when cold and wet. But road feel and harshness is much closer to them rather than the T005.

For me its always a matter of getting the softest tire. But I've yet to see a comparison between the Premium Contact 7 and the T6 in terms of comfort.

Where that tire shines is in fuel efficiency. -0.5L/100km at 34-30 psi compared to PZ4s at 39-35psi.

Very good wet and dry grip. I driven 14.500 miles on these tires and they are down to the minimum 1.6mm which isn't good. I drive on bad country roads it seems to wear down any tires I buy quickly. It's the first time I clocked the millage on tires id say it's on par with other brands I always seem to just get a year out of the front. They seemed to grip until the end which is great.

Have these fitted to an A6 quattro. The car sees a mix of motorway cruising and the odd B road blast. I normally go for Michelin Pilot Sports but found they only really shine in hot dry conditions, in which they are superb, but I haven't been a huge fan of them in colder wet conditions, typical to our British climate.
While the Bridgestones don't feel as responsive as Pilot Sports, they feel more stable in the wet, are quieter and I'm averaging 2mpg more. Not a lot but every gain is welcomed in a petrol V6. The Bridgestones are more comfortable with noticeably more dampening over rough surfaces and while they don't feel as responsive as the Michelins, the grip is there and you'll be sliding out of the seat long before losing grip in a corner.
Overall these are excellent tires and much more suited to a big German saloon to eat up the miles than the usual performance tires people default to. The car feels sure footed even in heavy downpours on the motorway yet happy to be thrown down a twisty B road.

I bought a BMW X3 3.0d , x-drive, mapped. It has the Bridgestone T005 on the back, and they are good, on the front were new Turanza 6 ... I have read all the mixed reviews, and mixed test results on here, but for me, on the front of this car, they are very very good. Grip in all conditions, wet/dry hot/cold ect is very good. very good resistance to aquaplaning too. the most astonishing thing is the wear, I have covered 7,000 miles in them, and they have hardly worn at all, they still look brand new, and only show some wear on the edges of the tires (I'm an 'enthusiastic' driver ;) ) I totally recommend these tires to anyone looking for a good "all rounder" . will defiantly consider again.

Smooth and comfortable tire with very low rolling resistance.
Wear is terrible, almost done after one summer (10k miles 16k km), and as others have pionted out, they wear out the middle part of the tire first. (2.9 bar 42 psi).

I replaced them with Michelin PS5 this spring, and they have almost run the same distance as the Turanza 6 before they got replaced, and the wear is not even noticable. I did a visual check on them when i put the winter tires on, and they look almost new!
The PS5 is also very comfortable, maybe slightly noiser. They are not as good as Turanza 6 on rolling resistance, but i suspect they they will get better as they wear down. Superb handling and they look very good.
All things considered, the PS5 is a much better tire choice.

Fitted these and the first 1,500 km has been great. I switched from Hankook Ventus V2 concept2 which was a goodish tire in the dry, but ultimately VERY noisy, could not offer any resistance to potholes and forming "bubbles" on the sidewall and did not contribute specifically to the fuel consumption figure. I am a little fuzzy on the distance covered by the Ventus, but from memory, it was less than 40,000 km - and considering that the driver is not a "dicer" or GP driver, I find this very disappointing - I have had Michelins, Continentals and Pirellis that all clocked MORE than 60,000 km. So the Bridgestones have a tough ask, but I am feeling confident!

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…

Good comfort and noise. Ok dry and wet grip for a summer touring. Poor wear. I've done a little under 20000 miles and the tires are done. They should be able to handle 42PSI as they are rated to 50PSI but show excessive central wear. Also cracks are starting to show in-between the tread, I don't know if this is normal for a tire that is under 12 months old. I've ordered some Continental PremiumContact7 so hopefully these will be better.
