Bridgestone Turanza T001 vs Yokohama ADVAN Sport V105 — Compared

“Bridgestone turanza T001 and it’s 4 year old so do I need to change it or just wait for another year the cracks don’t seem to be deep to me so I need an expert on that it drives like it does normally doesn’t leak any air and the grip is fine”

“Just got a new set of tyres - Bridgestone Turanza T001 215/60/R16 at 77k kms.”

“If you can, stick to the same tyre all around as mentioned, don’t mix brands or models. So if you're keeping the Turanza T001s up front, rather just get the same ones for the rear. The S001 is more performance-focused, but the T001 offers a better balance of comfort and durability. It’s quieter, rides smoother, and tends to last longer. That said, if you’re thinking about moving to something sportier, skip the S001 and go straight to the Potenza Sport. It’s a newer and more advanced tyre, still within the Bridgestone family, and a solid upgrade in terms of grip and responsiveness.”

“Advan Sport V105 does get a good tirerack review: Comes in 205/55-16 (three models. Mercedes W and V speed rated and 2010 Production) $83-86 each Not as comfortable or quiet as other Max Summer tires but handles well in both dry and wet. If you prefer to keep the 205/50-16 tire size then for street use and daily driving with a slightly higher budget: Michelin Premier A/S Grand Touring All Season $132 each 640 treadwear, V speed rated, 19 lbs. Tirerack test result- Good blend of comfort and handling with much longer treadlife.”

“I’ve seen lots of posts both on here, and various forums about poor tread life on the stock STi tyres, the Yokohama Advan Sport V105. I made a little video checking the tread around the vehicle and I’ve found so far this is fantastic, 10,000kms in and still with more than 7mm of tread on all four corners. Really interested to know what you’re all getting out of your stock tyres, and if you’ve changed these to anything else? I’m looking at the Michelin PS4S as the next set.”
