Bridgestone Sommerreifen Turanza T001 225/50R17 94W

Have use these tyres from 15k to 33k km (car had they when I bought it. By the time I got them, they were about one third used. Dry grip fine, wet grip for cornering, braking and traction not good at all. Because of the hard rubber though, I think they will last till at least 40k km. Wear is even, balance is maintained and tyres are still quiet at 33k km. My main issue is horrible bump thump and shock adsorption of sharper road imperfections, like speed control strips and potholes where the tyres feel like they are made up of almost solid rubber. Had resorted to running them 10 percent under recommended pressure just to live with them in this respect. Recently rode in a same car year/ model as mine running non-RFT tyres and the shock absorption capabilities are as different as night and day. Car feels like it actually has air in the tyres, not solid rubber! Will be fitting non-RFT tyres to my car soon.

The loudest tire I've ever had! Conclusion very bad and expensive ..... I'm already about 2.5 million km on the way. Bridgestone never again!

Original fit on my C3 Aircross: a Tire Shame without any grip making traction control and emergency braking useless or dangerous !!! Slipping front right tire on acceleration, front axle noise, front right wheel skidding. Premature wear Right front. CATASTROPHIC AND DANGEROUS How can we advise such junk !!!! Replaced by Michelin and no more problem .... strange no !!

Good tires, picked them elsewhere, I needed a spare due to unfortunate incident. Quiet, good grip and low tear is what you expect from a good tyre. Well recommended in this price range. Read more

These are as expected they perform consistently, particularly in the wet.
