Bridgestone Turanza T005 vs Turanza 6
Bridgestone have been a leader in the tyre industry for the best part of a century now, continuing to innovate through decades of premium tyre production.
This includes being top performers in the
summer tyre market, where their flagship Turanza series has been a top performing tyre for the Japanese
tyre brand.
The
Bridgesone Turanza T005 arrived in 2018, a premium touring tyre that soon became one of Bridgestone’s top-selling models ever since.
Later replacing the Turanza T005 was the
Turanza 6, another premium summer tyre that has built on the previous generations of Turanza models in style.
We will be comparing the two tyres throughout this article, outlining the key features of both models and highlighting key customer habits regarding the
tyres.
Turanza T005 Overview
The Turanza T005 is a
premium summer tyre released by Bridgestone globally back in 2018 and has been a top-selling tyre for Bridgestone ever since.
Bridgestone’s innovative NanoPro-Tech technology through the tyre’s compound gives the tyre an edge in wet grip performance. This technology aids the rubber in absorbing water on the road, further enhancing the grip throughout these road conditions.
An optimised tread pattern further improves the grip on wet roads through high blocks in the shoulder area and a wide gap in the centre. Water dispersion from this tread pattern reduces the risk of aquaplaning, maximising the safety of your journey.
Bridgestone feature their B-Silent technology in the Turanza T005, helping minimise road noise and enhance driver comfort.
Since replacing the Turanza T001 EVO in 2018, the T005 continues to be a top summer tyre choice for motorists around the world.
Turanza 6 Overview
The Bridgestone Turanza 6 is the latest generation of Turanza tyres that succeeded the T005 upon its global release in 2023.
The Turanza 6 features new mixing and filler-polymer technology on the tyre’s construction. This helps the summer tyre tackle water drainage, enhancing grip on wet surfaces.
Mileage of the Bridgestone tyre is increased through double angle 3D washboard sipes. The innovative tread design helps smoothen pressure distribution and improves slippage reduction compared to its predecessor.
The tread of this tyre also features low gauge body ply and tread piles, reducing the Turanza 6’s rolling resistance and improving its fuel economy. The aerodynamic Rim Guard shape complements these benefits by protecting the tyre from sharp curvature changes and lessening drag forces.
The Turanza 6 has taken the summer tyre market by storm, and is projected to be a top summer model for many years to come.
