What Sets It Apart

The main thing that sets this tire apart from the competition is its ability to really hug the pavement and give you great control. It functions a lot like a performance tire for sports cars, but with all the benefits of a premium passenger tire.

There really is a lot to love about this tire, which makes it quite surprising that it is so affordable. The price for these tires is also significantly lower than what you would expect for a premium. Of course, you will need to keep in mind that this is a summer tire, so you need a separate set for the winter if you are living in an area that gets snow. If you do not mind changing your tires a couple times per year, you will undoubtedly be thrilled with the Bridgestone Turanza T005 on your vehicle.

Comfort and Performance

When driving in a passenger vehicle, comfort is one of the most important factors to consider, and this tire will not disappoint. You will find that a new set of T005’s does a great job at absorbing the various bumps and dips in the road to provide you with a smooth ride. The only complaint about this tire is that the road noise is slightly elevated compared to most other premium models. This is likely because this tire has a greater focus on performance, which we feel is an excellent tradeoff.

Anyone who puts a new set of these tires on their vehicle and takes it out on a ride will have a very enjoyable experience. Many people are shocked to discover what a difference tires can make when it comes to the overall performance of their vehicle, and these tires will highlight that fact beautifully. These premium tires from Bridgestone really perform well at all speeds and road conditions. You will not be disappointed.

Safety and Durability

This tire does a great job at keeping your vehicle securely on the road and in control at all times. As a premium tire that is most frequently going to be used on performance focused passenger cars, it is essential that the tires hold tightly to the road, even when taking a sharp curve at higher speeds, and this tire does not disappoint. In fact, it even dramatically outperforms many similarly priced tires when it comes to traction even when the pavement is wet, which means you will maintain safe control at all times.

When it comes to durability, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 does a pretty good job, though you might expect better from a premium classified tire. The 320 rating from the UTQG is not the highest out there, meaning these tires may not last as long as some other models. This is not, however, to say that they are low quality. Far from it, we just expect a little extra from a tire classified as premium. Based on the generous 60-month warranty and free replacement for three years, there is no doubt that this tire can stand up to everyday use.

Who It’s For

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 is an ideal tire for those who are driving higher end passenger tires and really want to get great performance out of their vehicle, without sacrificing safety. This tire scores well in every area, but really exceeds expectations when it comes to maintaining great traction, even on wet roads. While technically you could use this tire year around, it should be seen as a summer only option so if you live in an area with snowy winters, make sure to swap it out when it starts getting cold.
