No owner ratings of noise for 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.

Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.

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.
“The Bridgestone Turanza T005 UHP Summer tires suck My BMW i4 e40 has 8k miles on it. I usually never get flats, but in the past 8 months I have almost been stranded 3 times by flats, and I have had to replace two of tires because they were completely worn. These Bridgestone Turanza T005 UHP Summer tires are terrible. I've been replacing the worn tires with run-flats, but probably time to move to a different brand and all-season tire.”

“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.”

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.
