Review on Bridgestone Turanza T001 205/60 R16 92V summer by Gabriela Krynicka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

The tire is quite stiff, but it is the flip side of a strong sidewall. At the tire fitting, they advised to keep the pressure 1.9 atm. - it really became noticeably softer, but at the expense of handling. Now I have inflated regular 2.2 atm. Yes, it has become tougher, but it enters into any turns without breaking the sidewall. And most importantly - recently at a speed of 90 km. H. flew the front wheel into the road repair, the blow was such that the sun visors flew out of their sockets, got out, examined the wheel, but it didn’t even deflate, and no hernias. Not believing my luck, I hung out the wheel at home and checked the geometry - everything was fine, the cord held out, the wheel did not lead, and since my routes for more than half pass along regional roads, this characteristic is the most important for me. On the new tires skated about 10 thousand km. therefore, it is too early to talk about wear, it looks like it has just been out of the store. Regarding the increased noise, as many people write in the reviews, I can say the following, it depends on what to compare with, for example, with Dunlop, these are not so noisy, and after running in (about 8 thousand km.), The noise decreased. In general, I liked the tire, I will monitor the wear, if it is in order here, then my recommendations.

Pros
  • This review was prompted by diametrically opposed reviews on market, so I will try to be as objective as possible. And so this tire has thick and rigid sidewalls and therefore it perfectly holds impacts without the appearance of hernias on our roads. The tire has good geometry and is well balanced. She also holds the road perfectly, both dry and wet; has an extended warranty, made in Japan, widespread - you can always buy a replacement in case of emergency.
Cons
  • A hard tire on a furious suspension will not be comfortable. The tire is quite noisy, although after the regular "Dunlop" these are noisy even in a more pleasant range. If you do not wash it for a long time, then the rubber becomes some kind of unpleasant brown tint - but this is already nitpicking, as they say, it does not affect the speed.
