Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Viking Fourtech Plus

Test Results

Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been three tests which compare both tires directly!

While it might look like the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is better than the Viking Fourtech Plus purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Key Strengths

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

• Class-leading dry and wet braking across all shared tests
• Confident wet handling and hydroplaning resistance in a straight line
• Excellent wear and low abrasion (notably +32% mileage vs Viking in AutoBild)
• Good value proposition considering performance and longevity

Viking Fourtech Plus

• Lower rolling resistance and fuel consumption
• Quieter exterior noise
• Stronger curved aquaplaning resilience
• Competitive snow braking/traction in some tests

Conclusion

Across multiple tests, Bridgestone establishes a clear edge where it matters most day-to-day: it stops shorter in dry (up to ~15% advantage) and wet braking (~7-9%), steers with more precision, and lasts longer (AutoBild wear +32% with lower abrasion). These gains also translate into higher overall rankings (1/37 and 4/16 versus 10/37 and 8/16). The trade-off is modest snow weakness versus the class best and slightly higher rolling resistance and cabin noise than Viking.
Viking FourTech Plus delivers credible, predictable all-season performance with better curved aquaplaning, quieter running, and lower fuel consumption, but it trails notably in dry/wet stopping distances and shows moderate mileage. If you value braking safety and longevity, Bridgestone is the stronger, more rounded choice; if efficiency, price sensitivity, and comfort are top priorities in milder climates, Viking is a sensible alternative.

Key Differences

• Bridgestone stops shorter in dry braking by ~12-15% (e.g., 36.8 m vs 43.1 m; 38.5 m vs 43.9 m).
• Bridgestone stops shorter in wet braking by ~7-9% (e.g., 50.5 m vs 55.4 m; 31.6 m vs 34.1 m).
• Bridgestone delivers better wet/dry handling and wet circle times; Viking is only satisfactory in handling at the limit.
• Viking has better curved aquaplaning; Bridgestone stronger in straight-line aquaplaning.
• Longevity: Bridgestone shows much higher mileage and lower abrasion (e.g., 54,800 km vs 41,400 km).
• Efficiency/comfort: Viking offers lower rolling resistance, lower fuel consumption, and slightly less noise.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
