Bridgestone Turanza T005 - Reviews and tests 2025

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 is a premium summer tire of the latest generation. The tire was evaluated by both the ADAC and the ÖAMTC in extensive tests. The tests were carried out with the dimensions 205/55 R16 91V and 215/60 R16 to evaluate the performance under different driving conditions.

Performance on wet roads

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 shows differentiated performance on wet roads with an overall rating of 2.4 in the ÖAMTC test. The optimized tread design with wide longitudinal grooves and specially arranged tread blocks in the tread ensures effective water displacement. The braking distance from 80 to 0 km/h is 37.7 meters on wet asphalt and 39.1 meters on wet concrete, which underlines the good braking performance in wet conditions. The special rubber compound was developed for optimum wet grip, but shows certain weaknesses in aquaplaning properties with scores of 3.25 for longitudinal aquaplaning and 3.50 for lateral aquaplaning. Handling is impressive with a very good score of 1.55, which is due to the balanced distribution of the tread blocks and efficient water drainage. Lateral control in a circle was rated at 2.75. The ingenious tread design with numerous sipes and transverse grooves contributes to improved water drainage and increases stability in wet conditions.

In the ÖAMTC test, the tire achieved a score of 2.0 for wet braking.

Dry handling

On dry roads, the Turanza T005 impresses with excellent performance and shows its full potential as a premium summer tire. The overall rating for dry handling is a very good 1.8 in the ÖAMTC test. The balanced tread design with reinforced outer shoulders and continuous longitudinal ribs ensures optimum power transmission and precise handling. The handling was rated 2.0, with the direct steering response and predictable behavior in bends being particularly impressive. The driving safety received a very good score of 1.75, which underlines the high stability even when changing lanes quickly and driving dynamically. The braking performance is particularly impressive with a score of 1.50, which is due to the optimized contact area and the special tread compound. The ADAC test confirms this performance with a braking distance of 37.3 meters from 100 to 0 km/h. The wide contact patch and the rigid construction of the sidewall contribute to a direct driving feel and high cornering stability, which is particularly beneficial for sporty driving.

In the ÖAMTC test, the tire achieved an overall dry rating of 1.8.

Economy

The Turanza T005 impresses with excellent economy values and demonstrates its efficiency in everyday use. In the ÖAMTC test, fuel consumption was rated with an excellent score of 1.6 and is a remarkably low 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers. This efficiency is achieved thanks to the optimized tire design and the specially developed tread compound, which significantly reduces rolling resistance. Wear received a good score of 2.0, with a predicted mileage of 40,400 kilometers, which indicates a long service life. The rubber abrasion is a moderate 73.3 mg/km/t, which underlines the good wear resistance of the tread. The tire weight is a low 7.7 kg, which not only has a positive effect on fuel consumption, but also contributes to improved driving comfort. The balanced material distribution and robust construction ensure even wear over the entire service life of the tire. This combination of low rolling resistance, high mileage and low weight makes the Turanza T005 an economically attractive option for cost-conscious drivers.

In the ADAC test, the environmental balance was rated 2.4.

In the ÖAMTC test, the tire achieved a score of 1.6 for fuel consumption.

Noise development

The noise development of the Turanza T005 shows a differentiated picture in various driving conditions. In the ÖAMTC test, the interior noise was rated at 2.50 and the exterior noise at 3.30, resulting in an overall score of 2.9. The pass-by noise is 72.3 dB(A) according to the ADAC test, while the EU tire label indicates a value of 72 dB. The noise development is significantly influenced by the rolling on the road surface and the complexity of the tire structure.

In the ÖAMTC test, the tire achieved an overall noise rating of 2.9.

Price-performance ratio

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 is positioned in the premium segment of the tire market. The balanced overall performance, especially in the areas of driving safety and economy, justifies the price positioning. The long mileage and low fuel consumption contribute to the economic efficiency. The high quality in the safety aspects and the good environmental balance make the tire a convincing option in its class.
