Owners most consistently praise the Bridgestone Turanza ER300 for dry grip, while wet grip receives more praise than criticism but is less convincing. Longer-term accounts often describe good tread life, although wear varies substantially and around one in five reviews criticise it. Road noise is the clearest recurring complaint, raised in roughly one in four reviews, despite quieter experiences from others. Comfort is evenly divided between praise and criticism. A minority of longer-term accounts describe declining wet grip, but repeat reviews do not establish a consistent ageing pattern.
What owners mention most counted across 151 reviews
23,000 miles and 4mm remaining on front tires with 5 on rear. A brittle compound which seems to pay dividends in terms of longevity. A good, if pretty soulless tire. More expensive than Michelin PS3 which are favored replacements.
These cars came on the 2005 Mazda 6 I bought and I drove them for 14,000 fairly hard miles and the previous owner may have had them for a while too, so I think the wear is good by modern tire standards. It was only when I traded them in for the highly rated (on here and elsewhere) Goodyear Efficient Grip performance tires, that I realised how good they had been! For my particular car they were spot on allowing amazing turn in and dry weather grip and pretty decent wet weather grip too. I never felt like I was going to breach the grip in the dry and the feedback was enough to tell when to back off in the wet. I strongly believe that certain cars are set up around a particular type of car and the stiffer sidewalls on these tires absolutely suited my Mazda. So anyone with a generation 1 Mazda 6 should think carefully before moving away from the manufacturer fitted Bridgestones the car comes with!
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Bridgestone Turanza ER300? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
OEM fitted tire. Good in dry but can give a little on broken tarmac on corners, ok in wet but braking & pulling away can cause tire to slip. Wear good but will be buying Nokian wra3 next due to improved wet weather performance & driving on icy roads this winter, will keep them on all year.
Came on the car when new. now three yrs old though only used in the summer months. Wear very good ,have lasted well due to long trips to wales that was the main reason I bought winter tires as I had to visit aging relatives every week, sadly now passed away.
Milage on car only 22.000thousand.
As I am retired I do not as many miles now, hence low milage on car.
they above average tires, they have good grip in wet and dry. Not a sporty tire, good wear, a little bit noisy. They are not perfect, but do most things very well. If you want and average all around tire but not sporty this one will do the job.
Very good, steady tire. I like the pattern of the tire. Very good straight performance (keeps the straight line while braking and during driving under strong side winds. Confort is not satisfactory.
Came as OEM in my Seat Altea 1.4t, they above average tires, they have good grip in wt and dry. Not a sporty tire, good treadwear, a little bit noisy. If you want and average all around tire but not sporty this one will do the job.
An good overall tire, average dry and wet grip, good wear, not a sporty tire, just a good above average tire. They were OEM in my car, I will change it soon, I will try Pirelli P7 cinturatto.
These were the original tires that the car was bought. Driven them 30,000 km. The worst tires ones I ever drove. After 1 year (half year - 5000 km, for winter use set of Goodyear Ultragrip 7) rubber tires harden and become like plastic.
Due to this failure of Bridgestone will never buy tires from this brand.
