Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
74/100From 7 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
71/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 7 owner reviews found online.
The Bridgestone Turanza T001 Evo generally receives favorable reviews for its impressive dry and wet grip, high level of comfort, and stability. However, users have highlighted notable drawbacks regarding higher-than-expected fuel consumption, mixed treadwear durability, and confusion over product identification due to a lack of 'Evo' branding on the sidewall.
Pros
- Excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions
- Quiet and comfortable ride quality
- Good high-speed stability and road feedback
- Competitive pricing compared to other premium brands
Cons
- Subpar fuel economy despite the advertised EU rating
- Faster wear reported on front axles or during winter months
- Loud humming noise reported by some users
- Poor sidewall identification making it difficult to distinguish the Evo from the older T001 model
Worth knowing
- One reviewer noted that front tires wore out significantly faster (5k miles) compared to the overall mileage of 20k, potentially indicating heavier wear patterns on specific axle positions.
