(*) and MO markings denote that the tyre is an original equipment (OE) specification approved by specific manufacturers, typically BMW and Mercedes-Benz respectively. Key Features and Benefits
- Exceptional Wet Performance: The Turanza 6 is highly praised for its superior wet grip and braking performance. Its advanced tread pattern with wide drainage grooves and divergent shoulder lugs helps channel water away efficiently, minimizing aquaplaning risk.
- Comfort and Quietness: Designed with noise reduction in mind, it features slit silencers and an optimized tread block design to absorb pipe resonance and minimize road noise and vibrations, resulting in a notably quiet and smooth driving experience.
- EV-Ready and Efficient: Incorporating Bridgestone’s ENLITEN technology, the tyre features a low-gauge body ply and new top compound with RRC polymer and silica to reduce rolling resistance. This optimises fuel and energy consumption, making it an excellent choice for electric vehicles and eco-conscious drivers.
- Durability and Longevity: The use of double-angle 3D washboard sipes helps distribute pressure evenly across the tread, contributing to strong wear resistance and a longer tread life compared to its predecessor, the T005.
- Original Equipment (OE) Approval: The specific
(*)(BMW) andMO(Mercedes-Benz) markings indicate these tyres have been custom-engineered and approved by these manufacturers to match the precise performance requirements of their vehicles, including handling dynamics and speed ratings.
Performance Profile
Drivers and tests generally commend the Turanza 6 for a balanced performance, prioritizing safety and comfort. While it offers exceptional wet grip and low noise, some reviews note its soft sidewalls can lead to a less precise or “floaty” steering feel at high speeds compared to more performance-oriented alternatives. Overall, it is an excellent tyre for those seeking a safe, reliable, and comfortable daily driving experience.
