Review on Bridgestone Turanza T005 205/55 R16 91W summer by Janis Skrindzevskis ᠌

Bought at the beginning of June Bridgestone Turanza T005 225/45 R19 on Mazda 6 (2022). Happy as an elephant. Rubber is great. I recommend. Prior to that, I drove three full summer seasons on the Bridgestone Turanza T001 and erased about 50%. It would be possible to skate a couple more seasons, but over time, two small bumps (non-critical) appeared and the rubber began to "grab" all sorts of small pieces of iron and stones (apparently, strength has fallen over the years). I also tried Michelin and Pirelli tires with similar parameters. I don’t remember the exact models, but these manufacturers don’t have many models for ordinary cars (not SUV / XL). Michelin is softer and quieter, but wear resistance is not very high (I can’t say for sure, because I haven’t rolled full seasons). The Pirelli are +/- the same as the Bridgestone in terms of stiffness, but they feel louder and handling is clearly worse on them. Perhaps Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/45 R19 will have much greater strength (because the speed index is higher) and handling (some new technologies) compared to Turanza, but I could not test them.
