Bridgestone Turanza ER30

The ER30's were great in the wet and dry until about 20000 miles. Then, they dried up and cracks appeared around the side walls. I tried everything to revive these tyres, even keeping them pumped up to the correct air pressure constantly. Considering their exorbitant price, they just didn't last long at all and would be happier going back to Continental tyres which are priced just the same.

Front Tyres lasted 16,000 miles, the rear 22,000. Hard and noisy ride. Have been driving over 40 years but these have worn out the before any others, albeit different cars. Had the Company record for most miles on my tyres which indicates my driving profile.

Bought the car brand new at the dealership and it came with the Bridgestone Turanza 215/60/16's. The front tires went bald before hitting 30,000 miles. The rear ones were just months behind in terms of wear. Traded these in for Michelin 225/50/16 Pilot Exaltos. I had good wear with the Michelin's before and never had a problem with the sidewalls.

It would seem that Toyota put the Bridgestone's on just to get the car out of the showeroom. I was very disappointed with the number or miles that they yielded.

These are one of the two stock tires for an X5 w/ 19" sport package. They have a wear rating that is 140 which is generous for the fronts as they will last more then 30,000 miles (probably closer to 50,000), but not applicable for the rears which will last 22,000 - 25,000 max. The rear tire inside edge wear is very significant due to the camber and as a result impacts their performance in wet conditions significantly. You'll most likely need to change the rear's one extra time as compared to the fronts. They are definitely high performance tires and inspire confidence in the dry, but a little on the loud side and not the most comfortable tires to run on. Next time I will get the Michelin Diamaris and compare the two and update my ratings accordingly.

Very good tyres, never had any slips or slides, they always make you feel you could have gone faster. Good wear but they havn't been used hard. Very noisy, you have to raise your voice in the cabin to talk over them on anything but the smoothest roads. Concrete is terrible.

Good touring tyre. Dry grip pretty good and good ride quality. Wet grip average but poor in very cold damp conditions. Tyre noise low.

Would not maintain contstand pressure, causing scrubbing edges.
harsh vibrations at highway speeds.
Lasted 20,000 miles. A standard "new car" cheapie tyre.
