Best test result: #1 of 14 in 2025 Summer and All Season Combined Tyre Test (subj. noise)
“Second set of Turanza 6 on the G70…awesome tyre. Very quiet (have in mind that mine have the B-sil technology), excellent grip in dry and wet (my car is M760e and I do love to push it hard from time to time when on highway or mountain passes) and pretty solid structure for bad roads. Haven’t used the Hankook and can’t say anything about them.”

Mixed
Bridgestone Turanza 6
The community has mixed opinions on the Bridgestone Turanza 6, with many users praising its wet and dry grip, low rolling resistance, value pricing compared to Michelin, and improved ride comfort over predecessors. However, some drivers report a soft or twitchy sidewall feel during hard cornering or high-speed driving, and a few note unexpected noise or durability issues.

“Not in US, but typically in my country, there are 2 favorite tires for comfort and noise: Michelin Primacy 5 for better comfort and noise. Bridgestone Turanza 6 for almost the same quality of Michelin Primacy 5, but with cheaper pricing (better price to performance) However, if you want to step up even further, you can go with Michelin ePrimacy for even better noise reduction. However, price is even higher than the Primacy 5”

“They're both similar tires with low rolling resistance and good longevity. There are better tires in both wet/dry conditions so you're not really doing anything wrong with either tire. I'd pick the cheaper option. I have turanza 6 tires on one of my cars. Nothing negative I could report but I've only driven them for about 4000km.”

“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.”

How do we compare tires?
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.
