Bridgestone Turanza T001 Reviews - Page 7

Given 80% while driving a BMW 120d (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 200 spirited miles
Just bought a set of four of these (Non-runflat version, i.e. normal tyres). Compared to my previous tyres (2x Michelin Primacy HP and 2x Nokian Z), they are considerably quieter than Nokians but slightly noisier than Michelins. They are softer than Nokians and on par with Michelins. Dry grip is as good as Nokians and Michelins. I haven’t tested their wet grip yet and may update in a later stage if anything worth me to do tell. They are comfortable to ride, better than Nokians and on par with Michelin. They introduce slightly more body lean than both Nokians and Michelins. Road feedback is better than Nokians and slightly worse with Michelins. Tramlining is worse than Nokians but better than Michelins. In terms of cost, Nokian Z is discontinued so couldn’t comment, but they are 28% cheaper than Michelin. I have been told Michelin lasts longer, but I don’t think they can last 28% longer. So overall, I am happy with what I get from what I paid. If the wet grip isn’t bad, and they lasts reasonably long, I will definitely buy again.

Poor road feedback,lacked steering presision and felt unsecure to drive. Had them for 2 weeks. Changed to Conti Premium Contact 5, a much better tyre

Given 74% while driving a Volkswagen Golf Mk4 1.9 GTTDi (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 10,000 average miles
What can I say, great grip especially in the wet, but at the end of the day I would probably be a bit happier with something a bit longer wearing, but that is probably just my preference as I am doing 35k miles per year

Excellent Tyres. Much better than the Dunlop Sport SP01 that was on my golf before. Noise reduction excellent. Car feels more responsive. Great value for money. Would defo buy again!

Given 95% while driving a Ford Focus mk2 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 250 spirited miles
I just purchased these yesterday, so far them seem really impressive in both the wet and the dry, they are an improvement on the ER300 - so far I have put 300km (in rain, hail and sun) they are pretty quiet, they feel solid on the road giving good feed back. But so far thumbs up €95 a corner is just a bit hard on the wallet

Given 100% while driving a Kia Motors ceed (205/55 R16 V) on mostly town for 50 average miles
Just bought & replaced with my winter tyre Dunlop 3D.
Balanced and mounted - 75 euro a piece (DOT 0712).
Drived only 65km in wet condition (rain pouring / 9C).
Very satisfied. Quiet and comfortable (of course, after a winter tyres).
Will report more at the end of the summer!
