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.

Overall very good tire with very good grip on dry and wet.
Even the Bridgestone Turanza 6 delivers a reduction of 2db in pass-by noise versus its predecessor, comparing with other models i had before, Turanza 6 is not that quiet i was expecting. On motorway there is that tire noise and on long distance is becoming annoying. Also being a Summer Premium Touring tire, comparing with the Asymmetric 6 which is Summer Max Performance and i had before, the side of the Turanza 6 is not that hard, and doesn't offer the best feedback in the curves.
Overall, a good tire with very good treadwear.
This new Bridgestone Turanza 6 is consider quite soft. Have to constantly keep the tire pressure @ a specific range, otherwise it will wear off very fast. Wet grip is good however dry grip doesn’t perform as good as I would expect to be. Currently tires is at 15k km mark and is noisier than Turanza T005A @ the same mark. I reckon it doesn’t blend well with SUV.

Really happy so far following replacing the Landsails 588 (i think) or 388.. can't remember. one of those. All four tires fitted in June 2023.
- Significant confidence in the wet, e.g. during a biblical downpour near the Swiss French border towards Basel, motorway had pretty bad standing water and tires seemingly dealt with it a lot better if compared to other slower moving vehicles. I felt safe, no aquaplaning events.
- Good dry grip, was great going down the winding mountain roads. I felt safe.
- Better in events of sudden braking, i was going to stop, and stop..
- Great comfort, was probably the car as well. but great combined effort.
- Fuel economy getting 50+mpg (i think) on the European motorways during its road trip. Met my expectations.
- From visual inspection after 2k miles since fitting in June very good wear, looking good as new, early days. Have all tires around 34psi.
Dry and wet grip good, however in my car the confort and noise level not very good at all, as opposed to reviews here. Car feels more crashy over bumps and also high road noise on bad roads, on good roads road noise is ok. It's not the car because the differences were noted immediately after i changed the tires. I was expecting more comfort and the these bridgestones didnt meet my expectations, as I'm more into comfort rather than sporty ride. Next time i will choose other tires.
Car is a mercedes C class 2018 with 17 inch wheels.
Had been running Bridgestone T005 tires all round which I was happy with. Went for the Turanza 6 on all 4 wheels and initially not been disappointed - car responds and handles better, great grip in both wet and dry and quieter and more comfortable than previous set. Too soon to comment on wear - overall very happy with purchase.
Have these on the back of a 2019 Corolla Hybrid Estate, so no real impression of steering response. These tires were fitted a few weeks before our 3000 mile, fully packed trip through the alps. Comfort is good, noise is OK (it's till a Japanese car), wear is almost none so far. The Turanzas on the rear seem to follow the front no matter the situation. No complaints.
Hit a patch of heavy rain on the German autobahn (while on said trip) where the front (with factory whatever brand) was floating for quite a bit longer than I felt comfortable with. And while I was fighting the front, the rear (with the Bridgestones) kept calmly planted on the tarmac. Oof :) I can maybe correct my statement of these tires following the front. They seem to follow where I intend the car to go. Almost like telepathy. I actually feel very safe with these mounted. Will put them on the front after the factory ones have given up. Which I hope is soon.
Completely transform the way my car drives i hade T005 before but the T006 is much better

Run for 5,000 mostly dry miles so far, at high speed on good quality European toll roads. Very quiet and comfortable, no obvious signs of wear. Feels glued to the road. Most importantly, inspires confidence and reliability, particularly in the wet.
Just drove 3000km in a vacation on these. No complaints whatsoever. Car is silent, no grip problems on dry, wet, sand.
Caught a heavy rain on a motorway, had no feelings of mishandling due to the tires.
Caught a surprise patch of water on the same motorway, the tires didn't aquaplane.
Compared to the OEM fitted Bridgestone HP Dueler, this tire far better on comfort, wet grip and rolling resistance. The soft tirewall gives a plush and smooth feel. For those who are after a lot of feedback and instant reaction on steering input, should look at other tires.
The old HP Dueler lastet 70 000km, but i dont expect the Turanza 6 to last that long. I’ve only driven 5000km on them so far and no sign of wear on them yet.
For SUV’s and pick up trucks, this tires are highly recommended!
