Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 Reviews - Page 3

Hi, I was very surprised seeing my review (Mondeo mk4 1.6 TDCI with 225/50R17) on the top but now after almost a year I have to update my opinion. I wouldn't buy these tires again. Maybe I have only bad luck. This summer when passing through a wet roundabout I felt all 4 wheels slipping which has never happened on any other tires even when I provoked my Mondeo into such situations (Mondeo is really stable). After reaching the destination I looked at the tires. They are looking old. 9 months tires look like 3 years winter Nokians (made in Russia) or 5-8 years standard tires. Goodyear Gen2 (5-6 years?) on my wife's car looks similar as 9 months Bridgestone. This was my first tire complaint in my life. I've never had to make a tire claim before. What did I learn from the complaint letter? I don't ride enough to expose subsequent layers of rubber (about 20.000km a year) and that they sell me a night tire (I heard about winter, summer and all-weather but this first time I heard about nights tire). Night - because they said that I have overexposed the tire to sunlight. But for God's sake, the side of the tire is ideal and sun almost don't reach the tread (I've got Econetic with factory lowered suspension). What's more I've got a underground garage at work... I've posted here a picture from a complaint letter (picture done by Bridgestone) so that it is not said that I chose the worst place of the worst tire's tread. I'm afraid I bought the tires too early and they messed something up in the compound. The tire still is great on dry and OK on wet except for the bends. But I can't drive straight all the time, and I would like to feel confident when cornering on wet.

Not a review. The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 has a tread depth of 7,2mm from new. Measured in the size 225/45R17 94W XL

End of life update: I bought the set in December 2023, and just had them replaced in February 2026. Fitted the same set, although I noticed this new set was manufactured in Poland, not Hungary. In the end, the tires did about 40,500 miles, and mostly still had decent tread depth left. However, because they are directional, garages don't rotate them even though they would have benefited from a front-rear swap. The rears ended up in a pretty bad shape, inner walls split, cords showing. With swapping and more gentle driving I reckon they could have gone to 50k. I'm not a hard accelerating driver but the car has done more than 10,000 miles on European motorways at speeds above 80 mph, including some extended 90-100 mph runs. As for performance, never had an issue in any condition (-10 to 40 degrees C) or at any speed. They are not a direct tire, there is no sportiness, drama, but I don't mind at all, my motoring is about touring, and for that, I find them comfortable and confident. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I find these tires impressive for their excellent combination of ride comfort, quiet running, and grip. The Lexus IS300h does not have the most sophisticated suspension, it does well on good tarmac, particularly at speed, but can be rough around town and on broken pavement. These Bridgestones make it feel like the car has upgraded suspension, the ride feels much more plush, the tires absorb a great deal of the vibrations from rolling on the road surface. It is a similar sensation when you put much more comfortable shoes on. They are also surprisingly quiet, not generating the humming background noise that is so typical of many combos of tires and cars.
All the while, the grip is just there, even you send the car into an apex at speed. There is no drama, no complaining, no slipping, just quietly keeping the car on the road.
My comparison is to OEM Yokohamas and Pirelli Cinturato All Seasons, this set feels immediately superior.
I'm very early into these tires, yet to experience truly winterly conditions with them, but truly impressed so far.

2 tires have sawtooth from the factory. Very high rolling resistance. They are very loud in the dry.

I put them on a Renault Megane from 2020 petrol 160 horses and during the time with them it doesn't feel like I have 4 season tires, compared to (pilot sport 5). Very good dry and wet grip also very comfortable. I can't say anything about noise because the car does not have good noise insulation. Personally, they are great tires for me. I hope they are as good in winter.

Hi, I've done around 500km on new Turanza, mainly in city. I've got Mondeo mk4 1.6TDCI after chip. I've used previously Vredestein Quatrac Pro. I've have tested so far Bridgestone on the dry and wet in 20-5C. So far they more comfortable than Vredestein Quatrac Pro, noise is around the same (so they rather quiet tires - I've been using 225/50 R17 (not a standard Mondeo mk4, but similiar size (a bit bigger than standard 215/50R17 and smaller than next standard tire 235/45R18))). On dry Bridgestones are more gripper than Vredestein and on wet the are excellent compared to Vredestein. On Quatrac Pro when you drive through a deep puddle / water it tears the steering wheel out of your hands and you have to use both hands to keep the steering wheel, on Bridgestone you use 1 hand (not both) and you don't have to much strength to keep the steering wheel still. But what's more important on Quatrac Pro I was afraid of turning left (in UK right) at crossroads. Vredestein doesn't have grip when you set off on wet. You have to use the gas pedal very gently to keep the wheels from spinning. Bridgestones are almost as good as Michelin Primacy 4 (which I use in the summer) on the wet!. I haven't so far tested the tire in the hot summer (when temperature goes above 20 I will switch to Primacy 4), nor on ice and snow, so I set NA for wear, buy again, snow and ice grip.
