Replaces the Turanza T005

A premium touring summer tire that majors on refinement and efficiency, with impressively low rolling resistance and a cosseting, quiet ride. It trades some steering sharpness and ultimate wet/dry handling precision for relaxed long-distance manners.

Yes, the Turanza 6 replaces the T005 and your suggestion of putting the T6 on the rear is the correct one. The T6 should last much longer than the T005 did too.

Having tested the Turanza 6 a number of times, it has not been an uncomfortable tire. I suggest checking the tire pressures as the first step.
My ideal tires give a comfortable ride, i.e. they absorb small road irregularities without transmitting vibration to the car. Show more My ideal tires give a comfortable ride, i.e. they absorb small road irregularities without transmitting vibration to the car.

Are Turunza 6 star rated. ie for BMW
June 12, 2023
Certain sizes could be * rated, you will have to check with your tire seller to advise if there's BMW marked versions of the T6 in your sizes.
Does the turanza 6 have a rim guard? Can I run them on the front while I have potenzas on the back?
March 29, 2023
Rim protection is usually based on size, so to find out if your size of the Turanza 6 has rim protection it would be best to speak to Bridgestone.

You can run them on the front with Potenzas on the back but you might find the steering response to be slower than you're used to.

Bridgestone Turanza 6 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 65 reviews

Owners generally rate the Bridgestone Turanza 6 as a quiet, very comfortable touring tire with strong wet and dry grip, reflected in a 74% average score and around seven in ten positive reviews. Comfort and refinement are the clear headline, with about half of owners mentioning low road noise and a smooth ride, while wet grip is widely praised by those who discuss it. The main drawback is a fairly common complaint about muted or vague steering feel (around one in five owners), and a similar share report issues with wear behavior, including uneven wear and shorter-than-expected life for some.

Perfectly fine tire for highway cruising and general driving. Can only compare it to the Continental PremiumContact 7 I had on my previous car in 205/55/16. The PC7 had amazing grip at first, but then it became mediocre. This one has more consistent grip throughout its life.

Very economical, with very good aquaplaning resistance too.

Would recommend it if you don't expect incredible grip

Turanza 6 (star-marked) is a relatively quiet for a touring tire when new but after 11k miles on the clock, it started to show significant loss of grip on wet highway and aquaplaned at 75 kmph. Handling is all over the place and floats a lot. Sidewall is way too soft for handling composure. Tire longevity is really good but with the poor wet handling after 11k miles, you can’t safely use the tires to the end of useful life

If you are driving alot of miles and you want an allround fine tire. This is a amazing comfortable and very long lasting tire. If you drive more sporty i would go for the old T005 but they wear much quicker. Almost did 90000km on 1 set stil not completly gone

worst tires ever for hard ride and road noise seems to pickup every bump or variation on the road. I bought them because they were described as a comfort and quiet ride. They re as bad as Goodyear Eagle runflats that I had on my C5 Corvette which was transformed when I changed them to Avons which I had on my Rolls. These are on a XJ Jag XJ with air suspension and I cant wait for them to wear out so i will probably change them before and get Avons again. They are great for mileage though after 10k miles still have 5mmm tread which is great value but have spent more than the cost of the tires having everything checked on the suspension to try to soften the ride running them at 28 psi all round which has helped as there is usally only me or me and the wife in the car nowadays

Car : Kia Proceed 1.5 GT line S 2021,
Replaced 2 front Turanza 5's with Turanza 6's in June with a plan of replacing other 2 once satisfied, From the outset they were noisier than the old worn tires with an annoying "thrumming" between 30-50mph. After only 2000 miles (& wheel bearing check)they have now been replaced by Pirellis. Noise problem has disappeared along with any future loyalty to Bridgestone.

The car came in 11.2025 with Turanza T0005 and those were very bad at handling over 80 km/h, the car slided a little sometimes, fuel consumption between 9-12 l/100 km in the city, noise.
With the Turanza 6 the handling is excellent , the noise is very good even on the highway, i only tested it between 130-140 km/h.
Braking is also very good on wet and dry, a little better than T0005, but those were also very good at braking on VW Golf 8.5.
Aquaplaning is also very good.
The fuel consumption now dropped to 4.6 in the city using 100 plus gasoline from Omv.

Yesterday, 30 September, I was driving in heavy rain at relatively high speed. When I turned right at a corner, the car suddenly skidded to the left. Luckily, I was able to regain control and pull the car back into my lane. This happened twice during the drive.
When I reached home, I inspected the tires and found that the center tread had worn down significantly. All four tires now need to be replaced, even though they have been on the car for less than two years.
I'm quite disappointed with how quickly they have worn, especially considering the safety issue I experienced in heavy rain.

Center wear can often indicate overinflation, worth keeping an eye on for your next set.
  1. Initial Impressions82% 102 miles
    I replaced my previous tires—X Sport 86, Michelin Primacy 4, Michelin Pilot 4, Michelin Pilot 3, Tourador, and Petals— with Bridgestone Turanza 6 on May 2, 2025. So far, I’ve driven about 165 km in both dry and wet conditions. These tires are very quiet and provide a confident driving experience, even when pushed to the limit. In high-speed corners on both dry and wet roads, I haven't experienced any issues, and they feel stable.

    However, there is one drawback: during a heavy rain, the tires struggled with aquaplaning on water-heavy roads. When driving through deep water or in corners with excessive water, my steering wheel tends to shift left or right, which affects confidence in very wet conditions. Additionally, the tires are softer, and I notice a bit of the soft feel when driving over speed bumps.

    Overall, I think these are good tires, offering good performance and comfort, but they might have some limitations in extreme wet conditions.

I am mostly satisfied with this tire. It is very silent, works great in the dry and in the wet, strong against aquaplaning. You feel like you roll easily with these on. My FWD car was understeering when I pushed, a lot more than the previous Hankook Ventus Prime 4, and there is like a delayed road feedback. Also the positive change in the fuel economy I anticipated did not come, compared to the previous tires. Sidewall feels solid, and dirt does not stick to it. In this initial phase, I have not observed uneven wear. I feel like this tire is more comfort and stability oriented, which is great for daily and longer travels.

The only thing I would recommend about these tires is their life. I wish it wasn't as I would like to change these as soon as possible. I have no confidence in them as the sidewalls are so soft. Going around corners I feel like the car wants to turn over so I have to over inflate them to give them some rigidity. I feel I would have been better off purchasing budget tires at least that way I would have more confidence in them.

  1. Initial Impressions10% 200 miles
    Bought these based on reviews. Had all four previous Bridgestone Turanza (factory fitted 5 years ago when the car was new) replaced by these. When I drove from the garage they felt really planted and quiet. As I always check the tire pressures when I get home after having new tires fitted I left it a couple of hours to let them cool down. On initial inspection they looked like they needed more air in them. So I got the pump out and the gauge read 41psi (10psi more than recommended). I thought it was the gauge on the pump being faulty so I used another gauge only to find it was reading correctly. So I lowered them to 35psi (any more they would look flat). I took the car out for a 15 mile drive only to find the noise level much more (unbearable) than my previous tires and the ride did not feel as safe. What do I do now? Inflate the tires back to 41psi? Do I have a set of defective tires? Should I have bought budget tires? These must be the worst tires I have bought in all my 50 years of driving!

My experience with Bridgstone Turanza 6 is great. I bought set after 5 years driving on Bridgestone Turanza 5. After 5 years I noticed less traction on wet surfaces.

Despite lower marks compared to Turanza 5, in my opinion as normal driver, they are the same. I cant feel any difference.

They are comfortable.
Road noise is low.
Car is equaly frugal (Mazda CX5 diesel 150hp,380Nm FWD, 4,1l/100km on open road).
On wet roads car handles normal. Fast driving is posible even under such conditions. No aquaplaning experienced.

Con can be a little bit wider cannals for water. They collect small stones very fast. Stones will make noise.

The tire is very sensitive to air temperatures. It has a stiff stance in hot weather, but the biggest problem is the balance issue. The tires do not maintain balance. I filed a complaint about this. I don't think I'll buy it again.
