Worst tires I have ever had. 4 tires purchased 3.5 years ago. Replacing them on Tuesday, cracks in the tire walls. Had the tires checked at Kwik Fit.

Excellent tires. At yaris 2012 diesel they lasts almost 90000km. I had never such a good tire. Perfect grip, and very good at wet braking. Nice handling at corners.

i have used them for 30.000km (22 months) as they came with the car out of factory, second half of the experience was awful.
My following comments are for the second half of my experience:
Well there is hardly any grip. lots of skidding when first move especially upslope, even in dry asphalt.
Braking in wet conditions, ABS was kicking in almost each time and awful stopping distance.
On the autobahn, once gained speed and tires are warm, handling is good but boy this must be my worst tire experience so far. (driving for 18 years)

Solid and safe everyday tires.
They do everything well if you use them as they should be used and they have no weakness until you push them.
But they are not sport (uhp) tires. You can push them, they will survive, but outer shoulders will wear fast. As expected, softer sidewall and less precision than usual sport tire.

By far the worst tire I had in the wet, borderline dangerous. Driving comfort average at best. On dry it grips really well, but man, in the wet, oh my. Had them on new CX 30, changed them immediately for all season Continental AllSeasonContact 2. Huge difference in wet grip, and in comfort. I can recommend these Bridgestones only for someone living and driving in an area where you don't get much rain.
Tire Reviews RepliesIf they were the tire that came with the vehicle from new, it is very likely that the performance balance of the tire has been moved in favour of rolling resistance, which is driven by the vehicle manufacturers targets. The 'regular' version of the T005 is uslaly very good in the wet.

After 21000miles and 5years the tires have excessive wear The wet grip is non-existent from the 1st day. The dry grip is average while there spin a lot when accelerating sharply. Definitely I'll not buy again.

Fit a set of these Turanza T005 last year Sept. 2023 on my Audi Q5 and only have another 1-2000km left for each tire. Swopped tires around on 8000km and not as usual on 10 000km. Currently standing on 15 000km and searching for tires. Really not happy, will not recommend.

These tires don’t last. Had to replace at around 10,000 miles. Inner tread wear was extreme.

Good tire. I would definitely buy it again if it was on sale but I feel like for the price. It doesn't last long. My car is mainly forward wheel drive and the front ones lasted like 15k miles.. the back will probably last up to 20k miles.

2022 qashqai.15000 miles over 2years.Advised that tire wear down to 3mm/4mm.Need changing soon.Where are people getting exaggerated miles recorded from.I am not a boy racer and try to slow down without excessive braking,so I cannot agree with wear achieved by some reviews.

A hard wearing OEM factory original tire that was used for 6 years and 55000 km. The tire tread is still very sufficient, but it is already unsafe to drive on - the wet grip decidedly awful. You will get wheel spin just with a mist of water, or on a drying road, with only moderate throttle input. Dry grip is sufficient but you can feel that the car is just a little on edge if you brake too hard while cornering. The feedback is excellent, if only because you can feel every bump and dip in the road surface. Obviously the ride is extremely bumpy, and road noise was quite loud. The steering got very heavy as the tires aged, and some brake screeching started to occur even at very light braking between 40km/h and 60km/h. All issues, including the steering and the brake screeching, were solved when replaced with new tires. I would not recommend these tires to anyone.
