Bridgestone Turanza ER300 Reviews - Page 6

Given 71% while driving a Suzuki SX4 SZ5 2.0 DDIS 4x4 (205/60 R16 H) on mostly town for 31,000 easy going miles
These tires are OK, but in my opinion not as long lived as Continentals.
I have to replace these tires at 50 000 km, where in comparison, my Continentals would last for 70 000 km on the front, and 120 000 on the rear of my old Golf.

Toyota supply these tyres on the prius as standard. The dealer suggested that I kept to this brand. But after only getting 16k out of them on 4 of them I have changed over to Goodyear Efficient grip ( cant advise yet as new) The Turranza are not a cheap tyre and very overrated. As for grip they wheel spin in the wet in a low powered prius when pulling away . Avoid !!

great wear 36,000 miles (15,000 on front and 21,000 on back), tend to be noisy and average comfort.Decent tyre in dry not as good in wet or cold conditions.

Considering these are the standard fit on my Audi, I'm a little disappointed. Grip in wet is poor, but dry is better. Little road feedback, but I guess due in part to the electronic steering.

Wear isn't great for the milage.

Given 64% while driving a Mercedes Benz C200k (205/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 33,000 easy going miles
The combination of my car, this tyre and our crook Australian roads makes this a totally unsuitable combination. The tyre had 1 sidewall belt of rayon that has no give in it making the car's ride like driving on a set of run flat tyres. On smooth, level roads in both wet and dry conditions it was very good but on uneven potholed or rough broken surfaces (like most Australian roads) the ride was appalling.

The wear was disappointing given I am used to get double the mileage and whilst I rated the road feedback at 9, it was unwanted because it caused much discomfort. As the tyres wore, the steering lost its straight line directiveness.

I would suggest this tyre might be suitable on cars with softer suspension, a higher aspect ratio and in countries that have better roads - but not this car.

This week I replaced them with a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7s' and what a difference. Good grip, a comfortable quiet ride resulting in less stress on me - what a relief after 5 years of torture!

Good grip. Rather noisier than expected. For the extra urban use I expected them to last longer. So a bit of a disapppointment to only get 20,000 miles out of the front tyres in a year. Rear tyres I think will go twice the distance. I don't push my car hard and stick to limits.

Very good all round tyre. Stunning in the wet, they give you absolute confidence on standing water and on wet, windy B roads. They can be noisy though, and you don't get the feedback you'd get with Pirelli P7s, they seem to hurt fuel economy a bit too (c. 5% on a small diesel). I would buy again just for the wet weather performance and the wear rate. They are terrible on snow though, it's hard to get going, and even harder to stop.
