Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT Owner Reviews
Review this tireWhat owners say summarised from 9 reviews
The Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT has a small, mostly neutral owner record, with no clear agreement on noise or comfort. Quiet running and a comfortable ride receive praise, but an equal number of comments criticises each aspect. Tread life is a clearer concern, with no favorable mentions and later-life reports including short service or deterioration before replacement. Steering response has some support, although feedback is not universally liked. Dry and wet grip receive too few, and too divided, comments for a firm verdict, so the nine reviews support a cautious view rather than a consistent touring recommendation.

Do not waste your money! I've driven with many many different tires over the last thirty years, and these are easily the worst! I would go so far as to say that they are actually unsafe and unfit for purpose. The handling both in wet and dry is absolutely atrocious. I honestly don't understand any of the reviews where it states the tires as being acceptable; obviously whoever has written those reviews has either never own a decent set of tires in their life, or they drive like Miss Daisy and don't know any better. These tires are noise, they do not handle well at all, and honestly they are unsafe and should not be fitted to your vehicle if you value safety. I used to use the Bridgestone Potena RFT's and for a runflat they were beautiful; unfortunately they are discontinued and have been replaced with these. the quality is nowhere near where it should be and for the premium they charge for these tires, they're must be having a laugh. I'm replacing these with the Goodyear Eagle F1's, a much better alternative for a similar price. Seriously, DO NOT waste your time or money on these.

Initially good ride quality (better than PZ4 RFT) however, towards the end of the their life they became very noisy and hard feeling. One tire developed a bulge. Poor wear.
Ended up replacing them with Goodyear Asymmetric 4 go flats and they are substantially quieter and better riding.
