Technical information
Focus: Standard
The largest and best-selling category, and Bridgestone TURANZA T001 belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

What owners say
<p>These are very impressive tyres, not one ABS moment always stopped with confidence.
They cornered and braked very well in wet or dry conditions, on narrow country roads with a mix of motorway 33000 miles in total not one dodgy experience .
I could probably knock a few more miles out of them</p>
I drove them for three seasons and sold them along with the car. Overall, they performed well.
Pros: wear resistance.
Otherwise, average.
Cons: noise, even at moderate speeds.
Would I buy them again? Unlikely. But they did their job perfectly. And they're not that expensive compared to the competition.
These Bridgestones came fitted to a second hand BMW X1 in 225/50 R18 size, and after 2.5k miles I can honestly say they have nothing to recommend them. While they are OK if its warm and dry, they seem prone to tramlining, and feel overly firm on uneven roads, plus once it becomes wet you lose confidence in the level of grip they have, even experienced some slight aquaplaning. Have now switched to 17" rims and Vredestein winter tyres, and the car feels much more sure footed and comfortable to drive. So I will probably replace these tyres with ones from another brand before changing back to the 18" rims next summer.
After 30000 km and 7 years I changed the Turanza T001 because of the age. They where originally fitted at the new car and after that time had still 3 mm of profile left.
Summarised, my experience with the T001 where really good. On dry and wet roads the tyres felt very safe, on swiss serpentines as well as driving with 200+ km/h on the german Autobahn. Just trying to take off fast on wet road can result in tyre spin. On tarmac the noise was low, but not really comfortable.
The T001 is categorised as a touring tyre and that's what you get. If you want to push it hard, buy a Potenza Sport or similar. For my the Turanza is a good tyre for every day use.
No sport tyre.
