Volvo V40, 2013 D2 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza 6 given 92% (205-50-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 2000 average miles
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…

Do not buy these tyres please !!
Dangerous tyres, terrible grip in the wet. Understeer at 30kph in the wet on roundabouts.

This tyres are the worst winter tyres I have ever used. I have used them for 3 seasons, and I can say they especially perform very bad on subzero tempratures. They slip a lot and I observe lots of wear. Almost no grip on snow & ice. When the weather is above 7 degrees, they somehow manage to perform ok. Previously I have owned Michelin Alpin A4, Alpin 5, Continental Wintercontact TS850 & 870, they all perform way too better. Probaby the ones I own have a manufacturing fault. They are manufactured in 2020/28th week, made in Turkey.

Driving on mostly motorways for 8000 average miles
I bought these tires because it was extremely hard to find any tyres in stock in 205/50/17 for my car and I had to get them ASAP as I was going on a business trip. I didn't expect much to be honest but I was pleasantly surprised. They are noticeably more noisy than Goodyears that I was replacing, but for the price these are great tyres. This is my second season driving them and I'm pleased.
