“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.”

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community opinions on the Bridgestone Turanza T005 are divided. While some drivers praise its wet-weather performance, highway stability, and value compared to competitors like Michelin, others report issues with excessive road noise, stiff comfort levels, rapid wear, and poor grip in certain conditions.
“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”

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.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
