Ive read all of these negative comments about these tyres on ordinary vehicles, the wear and tear, feel, wet braking, dry braking overall handling in all weathers, it’s ridiculous.!

I have a S211 station wagon, 2 tons of kiddie carrying power, these tyres on the last 3mm sat on the rear and lasted another 15k Miles, I drive majority of above 85+mph and on clear highways I run in the low three figures and at many times sit at above 140mph whenever clear and possible, the tyres are driven hard, pushed hard and now they’re completely worn out, they’re actually slicks (illegal) but still they grip like a tyre with 3-4mm in dry weather and still trust them in the wet..! I don’t need to know about road feel, noise, as all I’m interested is in the ability carry the XL 99W rating, stopping, gripping in wet and longevity and these tyres have proven their worth.

These are actually equal to the factory OEM fitted Continental Contact Sports which I know and trust.
Maybe it’s your vehicle maybe it’s the way you drive and where you drive that your complaint or negativity of these said tyres come from..

These tyres came with a new 4WD car. We have done 10,000 miles and the fronts are down to 4mm and the rears to 4.5mm, so we are not going to get much more than another 3,000 miles out of them. They handle fine in both wet and dry. Most of our mileage is on motorways/A roads so can't give much information about potholes and unmade roads. But I am very unimpressed by the wear rate and will not buy these tyres again.

13,000 miles from new and already 2mm from having to replace front. Rear are like new. The grip in dry/wet/snow has been really good, they can be noisy on poor Road surfaces but never notice much as radio is usually up too loud. for the price to repair I will go with uniroyal rainsport 3 as they are a better tyre and cheaper but have similar wear.

My car was initially fitted with 4 Turanza T001 tyres and last around 60,000km. Good in the dry road but average in the wet condition. Tyre wearing was not bad too. I would say they were the comfort touring tyres.

A really not good tyre to buy. If it comes with a low budget price it will be good to fit them for emergency purpose. We fit them before 4 years in our Ford Mondeo 1.8 125hp Ghia '04. They're the worst tyres we've been ever fit along with some kind of BF Goodrich we had years ago. Grip in dry tarmac was not good even when they was fresh installed. You have the feeling of planning in the road as you never felt your steering wheel and the car itself gripping nowhere. Braking in dry was not terrifying but when you hit the brakes the car stops a lot of meters away,while sliding like you have not abs. The same in wet tarmac grip and braking, not good at all,you feel safety walking away from you. Wear rate was not good,again. After 1 and a half year you clearly see rifts and small pieces of rubber were missing. They're "vanishing" extremely quick. Strangely, the rest 2 and a half years they worn out a bit slower. Road noise is average,not very noisy not quiet, as ride comfort was average too. The best tyres we have ever fit was the SportContact 2. It will be "ok" if they are very low budget tyres but when you give your money for Bridgestones you deserve more. Very low quality rubber. I can admit that the T001 are selling good out in the market and also that not every tyre fitting well in every car BUT that not mean that these tyres are very bad and of course i will not buy again any Bridgestone models because i had a very bad "reconciliation" with Adrenalines RE002 in my other car, a Fabia vrs. Again a very bad tyre. Strongly not recomended.

I had to replace the rear tyres on a BMW after 14.000 km of normal family driving. Poor durability. :(

Well, after reading the reviews here, I was very unhappy that my car came with this rubber as a factory fitment. But I was really pleasantly surprised: tires hold the road great, are very direct, give good feedback and are even comfortable (my dimension is a rather strange 225 45 19). In the rain they are ok, had some big puddles during high speeds and they proved themselves ok. Wear is good also for now, I rotate them every 10.000 km. The only downside is that on less then perfect surfaces they can be noisy. This is my first Bridgestone experience, and I can tell that they are a premium brand and delivered, but also considering the price I will probably go with another brand when I wear this set down. Hope this helps.

These tires aren't good for sporty driving, as simple as that. In the wet they are great. The wear is horrible but the rolling resistance is quite good.
Anyway, I had the Turanzas ER300 and now I have the T001 and I prefer 100% the ER300.

I have these on my SEAT Leon. Currently done just over 10,000 on them since I got the car new and they have been fantastic in wet and dry. My only reservation is the road noise but I'm not sure if it's the tyres or car at fault here, or both. I haven't tried any other tyres on the car so cannot 100% blame the tyres.

Had to replace hem after 17,000miles of normal family driving. Poor durability but otherwise a fair tyre.

These tyres fitted to rear of 2.0 diesel S-Max - lasted only 20,000 miles of driving kids around, much less mileage than expected. Ended up with a puncture in one, was a nail but the very low tread didn't help. Other rear tyre also very low and getting changed tomorrow... wont be getting turanzas...

I installed these Bridgestone Turanza T001 tyres after having used 4xBridgestones Ecopia EP001S before (see my other review).
The T001s are much more solid and came with ~8mm tread, instead of the 6mm of the EP001S. Coming from a A-A-69dB tyre to a C-B-71dB tyre I saw my fuel consumption average go up a little to around 56-59 MPG and the noise also went up a little, although the main noise source remains the engine and the tyres do not sound anything like the bad bearing noise of other tyres I've heard in the past. The grip was always very good, in wet or dry conditions. Only now, almost to the 1.6mm mark (with 43k miles), I started feeling some aquaplaning when it rains very hard and the water accumulates in the road. They are stiffer than the EP001S, although they remain very comfortable. I think they have the best compromise between road feedback and comfort.
I tottaly recommend these tyres. In the coming days, I will probably install the replacement T001 EVO or the new T005 (B-A-71dB9) as I expect they are improvements over the T001 and I feel confidence on the Turanza line from Bridgestone.
