No owner ratings of noise for Turanza 6 or Turanza T005. The owner half is the owners’ average (67): owners’ noise ratings barely follow the road tests, so the tests say nothing about how owners would rate it.

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community sentiment regarding the Bridgestone Turanza 6 is mixed to moderately positive, with owners often praising its competitive pricing, low rolling resistance, and dependable wet and dry grip. However, opinions diverge sharply on ride comfort and cabin noise, with some praising its quietness while others report harshness or road roar. Additionally, several drivers voice frustration over steering feedback, describing a soft or twitchy sensation, along with isolated reports of premature cracking.
“I have the same, 205/55 R16 Turanza 6 Enliten, the new ones that are supposed to be EV-ready. The noise level does feel higher than Conti UC6/7, even though it's supposed to be better. Grip and handling are good tho.”
“I have the Turanza 6, albeit 255/45/R18 (8.5 front & rear) Nothing to compare to other than the OEM 16" wheels with Continentals.”
“Bridgestone Turanza 6 cracked and perished within 18 months. 9k miles and 6mm of tread and all four of my Bridgestone Turanza 6 (summer) tyres have perished and cracked. Now an advisory on my MOT. This can't be normal can it? So any way, I'm looking for recommendations.”

Community opinions on the Bridgestone Turanza T005 are divided, with many drivers praising its wet-weather grip and highway usability. Conversely, numerous owners report significant concerns regarding loud road noise, rough ride comfort, rapid wear, and premature sidewall cracking or dry rot.
“Bridgestone Turanza T005 tyres... Are they really shit or is there something wrong with my car? I've just had brand new ones fitted, I don't expect them to be amazing in this weather but I'm slipping and sliding all over the place. My car has less grip than my old tyres with 2mm left. Seriously, I went round a roundabout last night at 20mph and drifted out from the inner lane. Could there be something I need to get checked because I don't feel quite safe with them on... Read more”
“I have the wagon with 20" wheels and the car came in with cheap Bridgestone Turanza T005 which will be replaced this week with Michelins. Continental EcoContact 6Q seems like it's a decent tire tbh - twice as expensive as my bridgestones. Had the same first impression about the brakes too but then you gotta remember that pads and rotors need to be worked it - it usually happens within first 200 miles.”
“Yup, I’m using them. Fantastic tyre and stick like glue in the wet.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
