Bridgestone Turanza 6

Name: Bridgestone Turanza 6
Brand: Bridgestone
Rating: 3.9 (48 reviews)

Previous Bridgestone Tyres Premium Touring Summer

The Bridgestone Turanza 6 is a comfort-focused touring tyre that majors on refinement, efficiency and wet-weather security. Drivers consistently praise its quietness, supple ride and confident behaviour in heavy rain, while tests back up its class-leading rolling resistance and strong aquaplaning resistance. Where it's less convincing is ultimate grip and braking performance when pushed, particularly in test-measured wet braking and in outright dry grip compared with the best in class.

2026 ADAC Summer Tyre Test

225/50 R17 • 2026

6^th/16

Bridgestone’s Turanza 6 does not achieve a good safety rating because of imprecise steering and heat sensitivity on both dry and wet roads; it tends to under- or oversteer early despite good braking. Nonetheless, its environmental performance is good, featuring very high predicted mileage, low abrasion, low weight and low fuel consumption. Therefore the tyre is recommended primarily for drivers who prioritise longevity and efficiency over sporty handling.

2025 Autobild SUV Off-Road Summer Tyre Test

255/55 R18 • 2025

7^th/10

The Bridgestone Turanza 6 offers strong points in its class-leading rolling resistance, making it the most fuel-efficient tyre in the test. It provides balanced good dynamics on asphalt and in off-road use, with particularly strong performance on loose gravel. Shows slightly understeer-heavy handling characteristics in wet conditions but maintains good overall safety. Mid-range for pass-by noise with decent comfort characteristics. A solid performer that prioritizes efficiency without major compromises in other areas.

2025 AMS Sustainability Tyre Test

215/55 R17 • 2025

3^rd/6

The Bridgestone Turanza 6 derives its sustainability primarily from increased longevity and improved fuel efficiency. It features innovative profile, rubber compound, and construction technologies to enhance both performance and sustainability. The tyre excels in wet conditions, providing exceptional grip in corners and the best aquaplaning protection of all tested tyres. Despite slightly longer braking distances, it offers outstanding traction and safety reserves in wet curves. On dry roads, it provides secure, understeer-neutral handling. Weaknesses include slightly reduced self-damping properties, comfort, and more noticeable rolling noise, particularly in corners. The Bridgestone scored "very good" overall.

March 13, 2023

Thanks for the very good tire testing and the nice overview. Any explanation to the low score on Handling for the Bridgestone Turanza 6 when it had such good scores besides that?

The bars represent the user review submitted information. I suggest you look at the tyre test results the Turanza 6 has now been features for detailed information of it's performance compared to other tyres.

March 29, 2023

Does the turanza 6 have a rim guard? Can I run them on the front while I have potenzas on the back?

Rim protection is usually based on size, so to find out if your size of the Turanza 6 has rim protection it would be best to speak to Bridgestone.
<br><br>
You can run them on the front with Potenzas on the back but you might find the steering response to be slower than you're used to.

June 12, 2023

Are Turunza 6 star rated. ie for BMW

Certain sizes could be * rated, you will have to check with your tyre seller to advise if there's BMW marked versions of the T6 in your sizes.

December 27, 2023

Pretty similar tread design tyre (Bridgestone Turanza 6) compared the the older Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2, isn’t it? What do you think about the comparison between the two?

The Bridgestone will likely be better in the wet, but the Goodyear will last longer.

December 27, 2023

My ideal tyres give a comfortable ride, i.e. they absorb small road irregularities without transmitting vibration to the car. They should also be quiet and have low rolling resistance for good fuel efficiency. As for the other properties of the tyres, I really don’t care as long as they’re not dangerous! Car is a Mercedes E Class W213. I’ve watched lots of your excellent videos and read the reviews. These Bridgestone Turanza 6 tyres seem like a good match. Do you agree or would you recommend anything else?

The new T6 is likely a good match, I have not extensively tested it. The Goodyear EffecientGrip Performance is also quite and comfortable in a number of sizes.

March 29, 2025

A few days ago I bought four 225 45 17 94 y xl for my golf 8. These tires are very hard, there is no comfort, the car shakes a lot, has anyone experienced this?

Having tested the Turanza 6 a number of times, it has not been an uncomfortable tyre. I suggest checking the tyre pressures as the first step.

July 3, 2025

Hi. I’m looking for a soft ride quality in a VW Virtus which is stiffly sprung. Available options in size are Bridgestone Turanza 6, Turanza T001, Continental UC6, Yokohama Bluearth Gt max, Apollo Alnac 4g. Pick top 3 for comfortable ride. Thanks

I have only driven one of those tyres, so am unable to give a good answer, sorry.

October 1, 2025

I need to change my front tyres which are T005 is the T6 the successor? If so would they work together with T5 in front T6 at the back? Mind you keeping in mind the tear and wear should got with a different brand all together. What would be a recommendation for Mazda CX30?

Yes, the Turanza 6 replaces the T005 and your suggestion of putting the T6 on the rear is the correct one. The T6 should last much longer than the T005 did too.

Review Summary

Based on 44 user reviews

Most drivers rate the Bridgestone Turanza 6 highly for its excellent wet grip and braking, very low noise levels, comfortable ride, and improved fuel economy, often noting strong aquaplaning resistance and confidence in heavy rain. Dry grip is generally good for a touring tyre, but the softer sidewalls can make steering feel less precise, with some reports of floatiness, understeer, and reduced feedback at higher speeds. A minority mention faster or uneven wear and occasional noise increase over time, but these are not dominant trends. Overall, the Turanza 6 suits drivers prioritizing comfort, quietness, and wet-weather security over sporty handling feel.

Strengths

Wet grip and braking
Ride comfort
Low noise/quiet cabin
Aquaplaning resistance
Fuel efficiency/low rolling resistance
Overall confidence in rain

Areas for Improvement

Soft sidewalls reduce steering precision/feedback at higher speeds
Understeer/less responsive handling when pushed

Given 77% while driving a Mitsubishi L200 (265/60 R18) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles

I have these tires on a Mitsubishi L200, size 265/60 R18. They were a little noisy when new, but after about 100 km, they stopped making noise. On a dry road at speeds of about 140 km/h in corners and when braking, the car floats a little on the road, the sidewalls of the tires are very soft. On a wet surface, they have excellent grip and they hold on like glue even in corners. Overall, I am satisfied, if only the sidewalls were stiffer. I have driven them for about 1000 km in total, highways and county roads. I will simply summarize it as follows: on a dry road, they have their limits, but on a wet road, even in deep puddles, they hold on like glue. Overall, driving with them is safe, but it is definitely not a sports tire, so at speeds of about 150 km/h and higher, you have to be careful and anticipate.

Given 46% while driving a Renault Laguna II (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,500 average miles

I bought these Bridgestone Turanza 6s to replace the T005s, which didn't last more than 25,000 km (15,500 ml's). They wore a lot on the outside. I was hoping they'd improve their durability and, above all, address the problem the new T005s had. The car swayed excessively at low speeds (I replaced everything that needed to be replaced in the suspension and steering). With these Turanza 6s, everything remains the same. The sidewalls are so soft and fragile that even with high pressure (2.7 bar), even when stationary, shaking the car, it doesn't stop swaying. In short, a tire that doesn't provide any driving safety, despite excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions. I'll have to switch brands.

Given 85% while driving a Volkswagen Scirocco 1,4 TSI 160hp (205/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles

The only point of comparison I have are the ten year old Dunlop Sport that came with the car. I'm pretty happy with the performance so far, they give me a lot of confidence from dry to wet. The car doesn't feel lazy at all, they're pretty quiet and relatively comfy.

Just finished a Prague -> Berlin trip under awful weather and the car felt planted at all times with no sign of instability. Keep in mind I don't drive very fast nor "spirited" so mostly highway within regulations.

I can't provide any wear details because it's too early. I also switch between summer/winter sets, so they're likely to last me a long time. Most likely, they'll expire before I actually wear them down.

Comfort - 10/10.. probably the quietest and comfy tyres money can get

Road feedback - 5/10 - good at low speeds, a bit all over the place at high speeds

Handling - 5/10 - good feedback at low speeds.
Understeering and quite unstable at high speeds. Tramlining also an issue.

Initial Impressions Review

Given 90% while driving a Toyota Land cruiser prado (265/65 R17) on mostly country roads for 50,000 average miles

Both wet and dry grip braking and traction excellent.
Cornering and lateral grip amazing for a 4X4.
So comfortable and noise levels that low that most passengers fall asleep!!!
Sidewalls are softer, but that’s to be expected with a touring tire.
Noticeable difference in fuel economy.
Real sense of confidence and comfort when driving, over the budget tires they replaced.
I do well in excess of 50k on rural difficult roads with little off roads, much of it towing up to the national legal road limit of 7.5tons @ 80kph.
On one trip of over 1200km non stop, so impressed was my passenger with the drive ability, that he insisted on getting behind the wheel. He couldn’t believe the responsiveness of the steering wheel.
I have no interest in driving excessively/sporty, beyond the legal limits, etc, so I can’t comment on the dynamic limitations of the tires.
I believe they are good value for money relative to other competitors in the same tire size, but tire wear is the big unknown. Completed about about 15-20k on these tires since new before switching to winter tires, and looking forward to temperatures rising again.

Given 80% while driving a (235/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 300 average miles

Wanted to put in this review, after driving for about 500km. Right now, it is subjective at best, and will post a more comprehensive one after clocking more miles. Coming from a Giti Sport S2, the tyre comfort was way better (not a good comparison I know - UHP vs Touring). As I drive in Malaysia and Singapore, and it is now the rainy season, haven't had issues with wet grip and aquaplaning so far.

Sharpness of steering wheel is acceptable. Obviously lesser than the Giti Sport S2, but definitely not as muted / dead as some reviewers put it.

The quietness of the tyres are amazing, and very very quiet on smooth and fresh tarmac. It is also much better than UHPs on rougher tarmac.

The rolling resistance is also very noticeably lower than typical UHPs (I draw comparison to Michelin PS4, Goodyear F1A6, Giti Sport S2).

The softer sidewalls also mean a more comfortable ride. While it does affect cornering, with a bit more roll, it is not that bad for its intent as a touring tyre.

Given 82% while driving a SEAT Arona (205/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,000 spirited miles

Car is new to me.. So I replaced some GY Efficient Grip 2's half worn with these.
I have no other references on this Arona FR (My previous car an Ibiza TSi 95 was used with an array of different tyres which I liked the Hankook VP4's best on)
Basically its somewhat similar to my Ibiza despite the higher position and heavier body. I have no complaints with the Turanza 6 (Enliten) I don't know how the wear will pan out but I don't do big mileages so thats fine. So - specific test roundabouts and corners prove it to be a decent tyre and I feel safe with them - similarly cornering and braking in the wet feels planted and safe. In fact the whole handling is comparable with my more standard Ibiza with 195/55/16's...So the Turanza 6 is no slouch - but I am sure some other makes may be slightly better in some ways...I will therfor probably experiment on my next change and possibly try the VP4's on it..But will check here to see what looks good first

Given 15% while driving a Kia Motors 2012 Venga 1.6 Automatic (205/55 R16) on mostly town for 500 easy going miles

The tyres honestly feel dangerous on my car both in dry and wet conditions and they really aren't anywhere near as good as many reviews say they should be.
I've had steering / suspension checked and they are all fine but the car still feels unstable (yes, pressures and tyre balance are correct) and the steering is heavy and vague.
I'm really disappointed with these tyres as they feel and drive much worse than my end of life Kumho EcoWings which they replaced.
As soon as I can afford to I'll be changing them for something else, I'll probably try Michelin next.
I'd advise others to think carefully before buying these and maybe try and find a review from a user with a similar vehicle to get an idea how they would be on their vehicle.

Given 82% while driving a Kia Motors Forte (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 102 spirited miles

I replaced my previous tires—X Sport 86, Michelin Primacy 4, Michelin Pilot 4, Michelin Pilot 3, Tourador, and Petals— with Bridgestone Turanza 6 on May 2, 2025. So far, I’ve driven about 165 km in both dry and wet conditions. These tires are very quiet and provide a confident driving experience, even when pushed to the limit. In high-speed corners on both dry and wet roads, I haven't experienced any issues, and they feel stable.

However, there is one drawback: during a heavy rain, the tires struggled with aquaplaning on water-heavy roads. When driving through deep water or in corners with excessive water, my steering wheel tends to shift left or right, which affects confidence in very wet conditions. Additionally, the tires are softer, and I notice a bit of the soft feel when driving over speed bumps.

Overall, I think these are good tires, offering good performance and comfort, but they might have some limitations in extreme wet conditions.

I got these tires a year ago replacing a terrible Korean brand (can't remember the name) the car came with and it was a night and day difference. I took the car out for a spirited drive immediately after I left the tire shop and felt a sense of happiness I have never felt driving that car before. Wear seems good, I only do a little finger check every couple months and it doesn't seem to be too crazy like people mentioned. Noise is quiet and it's also pretty comfortable. But it should be mentioned again that I came from some pretty terrible tires so anything would be better.
