Bridgestone Turanza T005

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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 10,355 owner reviews found online.

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 receives a mixed response from drivers, serving as a capable touring tire with standout wet-weather traction and fuel efficiency for many, while others express frustration over rapid tread wear and stiff ride quality. While a significant portion of users praise its sure-footed handling in the rain and low rolling resistance, a vocal minority reports accelerated wear rates, sidewall cracking, and a lack of steering feedback.

Pros

  • Exceptional wet grip and short braking distances in rain
  • Improved fuel efficiency and low rolling resistance
  • Confident, stable handling at highway speeds
  • Quieter ride quality compared to many factory or predecessor alternatives

Cons

  • Faster-than-expected tread wear and shorter overall lifespan reported by many users
  • Soft sidewalls can lead to vague steering feedback and lack of precision during spirited cornering
  • Reports of premature sidewall cracking over time
  • Firm or harsh ride comfort on rougher road surfaces

Worth knowing

  • Drivers of heavier electric vehicles and high-torque hatchbacks noted that instant torque causes the tires to spin easily from a standstill and wears down the tread rapidly.
  • Owners replacing factory run-flat tires with standard Turanza T005s reported a noticeable improvement in overall ride comfort and reduced cabin harshness.
  • Drivers with staggered or performance-oriented fitments on rear-wheel-drive sedans occasionally observed faster rear tire wear and edge degradation.

“For more detailed information and a projection of the consumption advantage based on an example: Below is the link to the EU regulation on tire labeling and the information from the Michelin homepage for comparison with other efficient tires: ... 0740&rid=1 Group C1 is listed in the regulation as: A: <=6.5 kg/t B: 6.7 to 7.7 kg/t C: 7.8 to 9 kg/t The Bridgestone EP500 is in class B Use the following formula to calculate the consumption advantage: F_ROLL:g*M*CR = rolling resistance in J/m For kWh/100km: F_Rolll*100000/3600 Example based on my 120ah REX Bridgestone EP500/Turanza T005 (7.17 kg/t and 5.81 kg/t respectively) 9.81*1465*0.00717=103.0 J/m = 2.86 kWh/100km 9.81*1465*0.00581=83.5 J/m = 2.32 kWh/100km Michelin e Primacy (5.58 kg/t and 5.13 kg/t respectively) 9.81*1465*0.00558=83.4 J/m = 2.32 kWh/100km 9.81*1465*0.00513=73.7 J/m = 2.05 kWh/100km Reduction of 0.55 kWh/100km for new tires Reduction of 0.27 kWh/100km for worn tires For me, that was reason enough to choose this one”

“Only issue is possible ride quality with higher pressure. Dealer and independents seem to universally recommend going higher on tire pressures to maximize tire life for even wear on BMWs. I have been lectured on it a couple times at a locally respected suspension/alignment specialist over the years.”

“I drove my friend’s Leon Cupra fitted with these Turanza T005 18” last summer to Croatia. Rountrip plus some local driving, all in all 2k km, the tyres were totally okay driving on highways and local roads. Not noisy. Good tyres for sure.”

“I have a ford Fiesta with the Turanza T005s. I bought them in October last year for around 80 a corner and will probably replace them with the same when needed. I drive motorways mostly and have used them in some terrible rain and they are fantastic in the wet. Obviously not winter tyres but till fantastic. They give me much more confidence to drive spritely which is great.”

“Tyre options? Hey, My 2025 VZ come with stock Brigestone Turanza T005 tyres and after 2 summer seasons I can confidently say they are very loud and the comfort level is not where it should be, specifically on rough concrete at highway speeds. On good (accoustic) asphalt, the interior noise is acceptable. Furthermore, the handling and road feel is also not particuraly great. I want to replace my tyres for these reasons but I have not yet decided what tyre to buy. Does anyone have any recommendations based on experience? (the noise levels have clearly improved) Read more”

“You might like the Pirelli Cinturato P7 The Goodyears are sold out on both Amazon and Walmart but could come back in stock I found some other good options: Dunlop SP Sport 01 Gislaved Ultra Speed (Gislaved is now owned by Continental, more klnown for their winter tires but also make summer tires) Unfortunately, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 and Michelin Primacy 3 are too expensive”
