Bridgestone Turanza T005 225/50 R17 94 Y MO EXT

I fitted these tyres on the front of my VW Transporter after doing a bit of research on properties. I am not a fast driver who needs racetrack performance but wanted decent road holding and less road noise coupled with longevity. So far I am happy with the road holding in dry and wet conditions, I do a lot of rural driving on twisting roads which also tend to have mud etc deposited from tractors coming out of fields. There is very little tyre noise unless on harsh tarmac which is great. (My van is sound deadened and insulated which also helps) I am now at around 4000 miles on these tyres and they have worn 1mm from new. I won't be driving on them over the winter as I have fitted my winter wheels/tyres so cannot comment on performance in snow/ice. I will be looking to fit them on the rear as well when I fit my summer wheels back on. Read more Collapse

The tyres perform very well. So far I have driven them for only 10,000 km, but for less than two months of use it is quite an intensive exploitation. I am very happy with them, because they perfectly suppress road unevenness, and we know what roads we have: better and worse ones. The noise level is also low so no annoying sounds can get inside the cabin. I highly recommend these tyres to people who are considering buying them! Read more Collapse

For the time being: tyres are very good on dry and wet surfaces. They make a bit of a noise but it shouldn't bother you. With such a profile, I can not judge the attenuation of the road unevenness. The look is very slick. In addition, super Oponeo service. Read more Collapse

I have driven about 3000 km on these tyres and I can say that they work very well. I travel mainly around the city, sometimes I have to brake rapidly and these tyres work great on the dry, as well as on the wet surface. I highly recommend. Read more Collapse

When buying new tyres, do not take the cheapest ones made in China. Just buy something better. 100 times better driving experience. The tyres are quite silent and the car is running nicely, good grip. Read more Collapse
