Excellent grip. Sidewall is soft, maybe that is the main reason of comfort. Very silent.

Bought these based on reviews. Had all four previous Bridgestone Turanza (factory fitted 5 years ago when the car was new) replaced by these. When I drove from the garage they felt really planted and quiet. As I always check the tyre pressures when I get home after having new tyres fitted I left it a couple of hours to let them cool down. On initial inspection they looked like they needed more air in them. So I got the pump out and the gauge read 41psi (10psi more than recommended). I thought it was the gauge on the pump being faulty so I used another gauge only to find it was reading correctly. So I lowered them to 35psi (any more they would look flat). I took the car out for a 15 mile drive only to find the noise level much more (unbearable) than my previous tyres and the ride did not feel as safe. What do I do now? Inflate the tyres back to 41psi? Do I have a set of defective tyres? Should I have bought budget tyres? These must be the worst tyres I have bought in all my 50 years of driving!

Just drove 3000km in a vacation on these. No complaints whatsoever. Car is silent, no grip problems on dry, wet, sand.
Caught a heavy rain on a motorway, had no feelings of mishandling due to the tyres.
Caught a surprise patch of water on the same motorway, the tyres didn't aquaplane.

I bought these to go on a new (to me) car so cannot directly compare. However I get the overwhelming impression these are at least as good (all round) as the Hankook VP4 I had on my previous Seat Ibiza (These on a Seat Arona). I have been around long enough to be able to extrapolate to a degree and realise these seem every bit as good - the Hankooks were pretty much the best I had tried on the Ibiza but was unable to get them for the Arona - however I do have a few locations where its safe to push a bit round corners (within speed limits of course ;) ) Not slowing for a tight turn on a double roundabout/one way zone the car went round on rails with no suggestion of struggle - exactly like the Ibiza/Hankooks despite being up higher. the only difference was the Arona rides a whisker softer and leans a fraction more. Comfort is great - straight line is solid and there is good feedback... Early days still so time will tell on things like wear.
The Ibiza was a Normal TSi with 16 inch alloys, The Arona is an FR with 17 inch alloys so the handling is different but closer than I expected

Well, coming from the T005 and Pzero PZ4 (the extended shoulder variant) I was expecting a major step up in everything but I got it somewhere.

The tire is good, very good, very predictable, it grips from cold either in the wet or dry. Ofc when dealing with such low profile tires steering response is to be expected nonetheless.

Comparing it to the T005 is is a much more a UHP like tyre, it strays away from touring, not that I don't like that, but where it majorly lacks is in comfort, its sidewall is much much much stiffer than the T005 so it gives less comfort and most importantly less protection (give) for the suspension components. In Greece roads are utter trash, alas you want a tire to be as comfortable as it can be and protect your suspension. The T005 did that excellently, the T6 does not do that so well.

It's much more comfortable in comparison to the PZ4 and also it can work from cold while the PZ4s are like driving on ice when cold and wet. But road feel and harshness is much closer to them rather than the T005.

For me its always a matter of getting the softest tyre. But I've yet to see a comparison between the Premium Contact 7 and the T6 in terms of comfort.

Where that tire shines is in fuel efficiency. -0.5L/100km at 34-30 psi compared to PZ4s at 39-35psi.

Very good wet and dry grip. I driven 14.500 miles on these tires and they are down to the minimum 1.6mm which isn't good. I drive on bad country roads it seems to wear down any tires I buy quickly. It's the first time I clocked the millage on tires id say it's on par with other brands I always seem to just get a year out of the front. They seemed to grip until the end which is great.

Have these fitted to an A6 quattro. The car sees a mix of motorway cruising and the odd B road blast. I normally go for Michelin Pilot Sports but found they only really shine in hot dry conditions, in which they are superb, but I haven't been a huge fan of them in colder wet conditions, typical to our British climate.
While the Bridgestones don't feel as responsive as Pilot Sports, they feel more stable in the wet, are quieter and I'm averaging 2mpg more. Not a lot but every gain is welcomed in a petrol V6. The Bridgestones are more comfortable with noticeably more dampening over rough surfaces and while they don't feel as responsive as the Michelins, the grip is there and you'll be sliding out of the seat long before losing grip in a corner.
Overall these are excellent tyres and much more suited to a big German saloon to eat up the miles than the usual performance tyres people default to. The car feels sure footed even in heavy downpours on the motorway yet happy to be thrown down a twisty B road.

I bought a BMW X3 3.0d , x-drive, mapped. It has the Bridgestone T005 on the back, and they are good, on the front were new Turanza 6 ... I have read all the mixed reviews, and mixed test results on here, but for me, on the front of this car, they are very very good. Grip in all conditions, wet/dry hot/cold ect is very good. very good resistance to aquaplaning too. the most astonishing thing is the wear, I have covered 7,000 miles in them, and they have hardly worn at all, they still look brand new, and only show some wear on the edges of the tyres (I'm an 'enthusiastic' driver ;) ) I totally recommend these tyres to anyone looking for a good "all rounder" . will defiantly consider again.

Smooth and comfortable tyre with very low rolling resistance.
Wear is terrible, almost done after one summer (10k miles 16k km), and as others have pionted out, they wear out the middle part of the tyre first. (2.9 bar 42 psi).

I replaced them with Michelin PS5 this spring, and they have almost run the same distance as the Turanza 6 before they got replaced, and the wear is not even noticable. I did a visual check on them when i put the winter tyres on, and they look almost new!
The PS5 is also very comfortable, maybe slightly noiser. They are not as good as Turanza 6 on rolling resistance, but i suspect they they will get better as they wear down. Superb handling and they look very good.
All things considered, the PS5 is a much better tyre choice.

Fitted these and the first 1,500 km has been great. I switched from Hankook Ventus V2 concept2 which was a goodish tyre in the dry, but ultimately VERY noisy, could not offer any resistance to potholes and forming "bubbles" on the sidewall and did not contribute specifically to the fuel consumption figure. I am a little fuzzy on the distance covered by the Ventus, but from memory, it was less than 40,000 km - and considering that the driver is not a "dicer" or GP driver, I find this very disappointing - I have had Michelins, Continentals and Pirellis that all clocked MORE than 60,000 km. So the Bridgestones have a tough ask, but I am feeling confident!

Replaced good old trusty Pirelli P7s for these after having really great experience with Bridgestone’s Blizzak 05.
I’ve read all the test I could find comparing Turanza 6 with Pirelli Cinturato P7 and they’ve seemed on par in wet which is the most important for me (yeah, Volvo owner…). The main difference in reviews was in handling feel.
And I must say, the reviews were accurate or I just impressed the results so deep in my head that I have to agree with them. Turanza 6 is amazingly comfortable (really soft sidewall compared with tires with same weight index), quiet and just overall calm tire. If you like to chill, go legal speeds and simply be reasonable, it’s perfect and I could not be happier.
The negative comes if you like to feel something or enjoy a bit of fun on b roads. It takes just a bit of extra time to settle in turn. The weight transfer of the car feels a bit more pronounced than with the Pirelli P7. It’s not dealbreaker, it’s just a quirk that’s good to know about. It never feels like more understeer or not following your commands. It just takes it’s (very short but noticeable) time to proceed.
So comparing first summer on Turanza 6 to couple of years on Pirelli Cinturato P7 is basically realizing that I kind of like all the comfort and quietness over the “sportier” more direct but also harsher Pirelli. Yeah, Volvo owner…

Good comfort and noise. Ok dry and wet grip for a summer touring. Poor wear. I've done a little under 20000 miles and the tyres are done. They should be able to handle 42PSI as they are rated to 50PSI but show excessive central wear. Also cracks are starting to show in-between the tread, I don't know if this is normal for a tyre that is under 12 months old. I've ordered some Continental PremiumContact7 so hopefully these will be better.

Not a review. The Bridgestone Turanza 6 has a tread depth of 7,2mm from new. Measured in the size 225/45R17 94W XL

Absolutely fantastic
Immense wet grip,
Makes monsoon weather feel like a dry day.
Very resistant to aquaplaning
Increased my MPG with extra urban driving from 39mpg to 44mpg

A little floaty initially in the dry, after 2-300 miles bedded in a gives very impressive grip considering its a touring tyre.

Leans towards understeer when push very hard but actually hops slightly instead of sliding, never felt the back end slide even with lift of mid corner.

At first amazing best tire i ever had.

Now very loud and feel like i am not in total control. Front tires raised and should be replaced. 5.7mm tread is left after 21000 km all on highway to berlin, sweden, and hamburg!
