Review on Bridgestone Turanza T005 245/40 R19 98Y summer by Ada Szymaniuk ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Medium quality, especially for that kind of money.

The rubber is ambiguous, in principle, it does not like the rut, it behaves rather nervously in it, but from experience, the soft and comfortable rubber for driving is not all friends with the rut, but this rubber is just that, soft, comfortable, not noisy. But what I experienced on the Hong Kong Ring Road is not allowed for me to rate this rubber highly. In heavy rain, you always have to be on the alert with this rubber, while I repeat that it keeps a smooth, without deep puddles, wet road well.

Pros
  • Pretty quiet and comfortable to drive on a flat road, tires. Handles small bumps in the road pretty well. Despite the fact that the sidewall is incredibly soft, I was even a little confused when I took this rubber for the first time in my hands, it withstood several fairly strong blows when it pierced the suspension.
Cons
  • At low temperatures, the rubber requires warming up until it warms up, it is quite noisy and does not hold the road very well, Well, this is nonsense, the most important minus I found on May 8 when I was driving to the dacha in the rain along the Hong Kong Ring Road, the car was terribly floating in a wet rut, it was scary not only for me but also to my wife and children who felt it for themselves, as the car throws from one side of the track to the other, the car actually floated. Maybe someone will say that this is how it should be, but I have encountered this for the first time in 22 years behind the wheel, on a different rubber you will fly into a rut, hit the water, the speed will drop, the vibration on the steering wheel, but you drive the car, and then you just swim across the rut and that’s it . At the same time, the rubber holds a wet road well if there is no track, I went to Hong Kong on it, I didn’t have any problems in St. Petersburg on a pay road in the rain of 150-160 km / h, but that was before I swam on the Hong Kong Ring Road, it was really scary.

Some pros: One of the best summer tires of the 2022 season. Cons below: I don't see - even the price is good
