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.

The combination of my car, this tire and our crook Australian roads makes this a totally unsuitable combination. The tire had 1 sidewall belt of rayon that has no give in it making the car's ride like driving on a set of run flat tires. On smooth, level roads in both wet and dry conditions it was very good but on uneven potholed or rough broken surfaces (like most Australian roads) the ride was appalling.
The wear was disappointing given I am used to get double the mileage and while I rated the road feedback at 9, it was unwanted because it caused much discomfort. As the tires wore, the steering lost its straight line directiveness.
I would suggest this tire might be suitable on cars with softer suspension, a higher aspect ratio and in countries that have better roads - but not this car.
This week I replaced them with a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7s' and what a difference. Good grip, a comfortable quiet ride resulting in less stress on me - what a relief after 5 years of torture!
Good grip. Rather noisier than expected. For the extra urban use I expected them to last longer. So a bit of a disapppointment to only get 20,000 miles out of the front tires in a year. Rear tires I think will go twice the distance. I don't push my car hard and stick to limits.

Very good all round tire. Stunning in the wet, they give you absolute confidence on standing water and on wet, windy B roads. They can be noisy though, and you don't get the feedback you'd get with Pirelli P7s, they seem to hurt fuel economy a bit too (c. 5% on a small diesel). I would buy again just for the wet weather performance and the wear rate. They are terrible on snow though, it's hard to get going, and even harder to stop.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Bridgestone Turanza ER300? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
If the tires are dry and very good grip on wet roads makes the air temperature is too low. I should mention also that the very long-lasting and robust. Due to the hardness of the single worst aspect is quite audible, and quite a bumpy ride, but it leaves behind a good grip and long life.
Fitted to my leased MAZDA 6 estate as standard, Car now covered 72,028 miles. Replaced 1st set (all 4)at 32000 miles. Recent service indicated tire wear to on the limit of 1.6mm for 3 tires. A nonrepairable puncture necessitated a new tire about 6 months ago.
Second set have produced 40000 miles of trouble free motering. Unfortunately, tire service center fitted 3 Pirelli P7 yesterday. I have no control over this .
A new Mazda 6 tourer due in March so hope it is fitted with Turanzas.
Got these from new on a 2010 Honda Civic 1.8 5 door EX GT.
For a premium brand tires these give a harsh ride and make a real raket at speed. In the wet they are easy to slip and not particularly stable at speed when raining on the motorway. They lasted about 16 000 on the front driving/steering wheels and the rears still have about 5-6mm of thread left. I have since replaced them with Continental Sport Contact 5s which are a lot quieter and while the ride in this generation of Civic will never be called comfortable it is much improved.
Went through 2 sets averaging 10,000 on fronts before changing.
Not the best as I mostly do m/way driving. Comfort ok, cornering grip poor.
Disappointing.
Excellent wet & dry grip in summer.
long lasting. Managed 50k from pair on the back, 30k from front tires.
Better than average winter grip for a summer tire.
Great value for money.
Just bought my third pair of Bridgestone ER300's!
They are not perfect, but do most things very well.
Before the most recent purchase (Dec 12)I scanned the tire reviews on this site. Goodyear / Michelin / Dunlop... Some said good things, others said poor things. But Bridgestone tires didn't seem to get any bad reviews. (But they didn't get any rave reviews either.) I'd guess I'd agree with the other reviewers - they are not fantastic tires, but they do everything quite well.
Good mileage - 21000 miles had the front tires down to 2.5mm. Previous Dunlops and Continentals were down to the same depth of tread on 10000 miles...
Had these tires from new on my Toyota verso sr 1.8. The front tires lasted for 2 1/2 years done about 29,000 miles had to change them cos the side walls on the left tire was totally worn, this is cause by going around aroundabouts lots where I live ( northeast of England,Newcastle.)
The back tires have done about 47,000 miles and about to change them soon.They still have about 3.5mm tread on them but the side walls are starting to crack.
Driving style ,mainly taking kids to school,work,holiday road trip and car usually fully loaded.
