“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.”

“Are these needing replacement? - Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT (Run Flat) BMW G20 Not sure if I should be replacing these yet they seem close to the wear bar, rather be safe than sorry and to ask here especially with Uk/Irish weather 😅 Read more”
“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.”
“2025 Formentor VZ with 19s and Bridgestone Turanza T005... is 38 psi OK? Title says it. Car felt off lately, checked pressure and all were around 31 or 32. Sticker says 36 for W rated (which is ours) and 39 for Y rated. I went for 38 because there's usually 2 people in the car at all times, not 500kg but figured a drop of 1-2 PSI and I'm at 36. Wondering, 38 ok? What are you running? What a difference the 6 PSI makes though... wow.”

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.
