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

The Bridgestone Turanza T005A generally receives positive reviews for its exceptional tread longevity, impressive highway comfort, and quiet ride compared to factory alternatives. While many users praise its dependable grip in wet and dry conditions, a few report issues with noise increase over time and occasional grip degradation as the tire ages.
Pros
- Exceptional tread life and longevity with many users reporting tens of thousands of kilometers of use
- Quiet, smooth, and comfortable ride quality on the highway
- Solid dry and wet handling for daily driving
- Good value relative to competitors like Michelin
Cons
- Noise levels can increase significantly as the tire wears, developing a roaring sound on coarse roads
- Dry and wet grip performance can drop notably in the later stages of the tire's lifespan
- Requires a break-in period where initial grip may feel slippery or unimpressive
Worth knowing
- Users running run-flat variants noted a slightly firmer, harsher ride and increased noise.
- Positive feedback on comfort and low rolling resistance specifically highlighted on smaller rim sizes like 15-inch and 16-inch setups.
