Ford (215/50 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 32,000 spirited miles
Done 32k Miles on my Ford Focus on the front tires for 80% of its life. Majority Motorway driving but with a good amount of local/london driving. Over the last 2 years they have saved me in the very wet and dry. They will help stop a car when you need to stop, if that's a cat running into the road at 20 mph or motorway just stops and your doing 70 to 0.

Given 75% while driving a Toyota Yaris (185/60 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 5,200 average miles
A very good tire at a very fair price. A bit noisy, but very safe compared to what I was used to. On the wet road, I could really feel more confidence. Handles really well on dry or wet. Would buy again.

Given 63% while driving a Citroën C4 (205/55 R16 V) on mostly motorways for 22 easy going miles
I drive them for 37.000 kilometers on a Citroen C4 HDi with 66kW power . Before them I had Michelin Energy saver (came from factory) for 40.000 Km , Michelin Primacy 3 for 35.000Km and Michelin Crossclimate+ for 26.000Km . My driving style is easy going and I'm moving from Athens (Hellas) to Korinthos via national road with a speed range up to 120Km/h . 90% of driving is at national road and 10% at city .The tire is very good on dry road and also good on wet . I would be very satisfied with this tire IF it was not very noisy and this is the only reason for not buying it ...

Given 88% while driving a Mazda 3 Series (215/45 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 870 spirited miles
First off, my brand new Mazda 3 2019 came with Turanza 005a (after research I found out that these tires are made for Singapore). The grip on these is absoluteley mindblowing. I tried disrupting the grip level at normal speed by entering corners and then pulling inside the corner to create discomfort in grip. Nothing happened. They remained glued to road. I cannot give any details on wear, as I'm currently 1400km in. The tires came brand new on the car. Will definitely buy them again, and again.

Wet & dry grip good cant really comment re. long term wear only on car past 6 months seems to be very limited wear so far. Had Potenza S001 previously got 40k miles wanted softer tire hoping for possibly softer ride. Turanza a touring tire ride on car improved slightly on poorer road surfaces here west of ireland.

Predictable handling, short braking distances, comfortable, real fuel saving tire. Definitely would buy it again.

Given 16% while driving a Audi A3 2.0 TDI 140 (205/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
I have to say I've never had so bad tires in my 25 years of driving on any of our cars than these Bridgestone Turanza T005 tires. Bought them 3 years ago, they only lasted 25000 miles. No grip at all, stopping power is basically zero (abs kicks in most of the times) at the smallest rain the tires are skidding in roundabouts, tires spinning out in wet conditions, these shouldn't be road legal! The 8mm thread went down to almost below legal now after 25000 miles. Had Michelin Primacy 3 before and they lasted for almost twice as long. Tire on passenger side tends to spin out on our Audi A3 Sportback, these tires were made in Hungary and Turkey so don't buy any of these!. Never again.

I really love this tires, previously I had fitted Goodyear Excellence which came from the factory and the car didn't feel good on corners. Since I have them I really enjoy driving around country roads, the car feels pretty good, actually, it feels like another car.

I have driven 7000 miles a Audi A4 (460kg/1,000pounds heavier but with 114hp/85kW more) fitted with Briedgestone Potenza S001 which in theory should be way better and they actually aren't, they feel quite similar to be honest, obviously, Potenza's are better but not as much as I expected them to be. Maybe if they were tested on the same car I would think differently.

After 1000 miles I think they are wearing quite much even driving usually hard.
If the road is wet, they hold quite well but sometimes they skid a little bit if you are speeding throught corners.

Also, I would like to add in the motorway at 150km/h or 93mph, my car feels a bit unbalanced, maybe it is related to the car and not to the tires, but I wanted you to know about it just in case, better safe than sorry you know. Just as an information, my car weight 1100kg/2,425 pounds and has 85hp/63kW.

What word can you describe this tire? Balanced. Equally confident behaves in dry, wet, hot, cold weather, is not sensitive to the gauge.It is not soft, not hard, just elastic. Keep the minimum allowable pressure so that the tire does not seem too hard.

Given 93% while driving a Renault Megane (195/65 R15 H) on mostly town for 1,000 spirited miles
I bought this tire after using a pirelli p1 cinturato before. the p1s were very good tires with excelent road feedback and confidence both dry and wet..this turanzas are a level above p1s...wet grip is just amazing there is no plenty of road feedback but confidence is top notch...breaking is great and comfort is good...I do not no about wear yet but p1s last about 25.000km which is not that good...before p1s I had michelin es plus and they lasted 35.000km easily..I recommend bridgeston t005.
