The Bridgestone Turanza 6 emerges as a well-regarded summer tire across various tests, albeit with a nuanced performance profile that varies slightly depending on the testing organization and tire dimension. One of its most consistently praised aspects is its environmental and economic performance. The tire is noted for its good projected mileage, low wear, very low weight, and low fuel consumption, traits that contribute to a positive environmental footprint. This is complemented by a kraftstoffsparender (fuel-saving) rolling resistance mentioned in multiple reviews, underscoring its efficiency.
When it comes to handling and safety, the Turanza 6 presents a mixed but overall commendable picture. It is credited with good aquaplaning properties across different dimensions, securing a reputation for safety in wet conditions. Moreover, its handling and braking performance on wet surfaces have been highlighted positively, with specific mentions of its short braking distances and balanced driving characteristics. This suggests a reliable performance that doesn't compromise on safety.
However, the tire exhibits some variability in performance between dry and wet conditions. While there are acknowledgments of its excellence on dry roads, including dynamic handling and a propensity for low fuel consumption, there are noted weaknesses in traction and corner grip on wet surfaces in certain tests. Such discrepancies indicate that while the tire performs admirably in dry conditions, its wet condition performance, although secure, does not always reach the same heights, displaying moderate grip levels and understeering in earnest situations.
It's important to note that despite these minor impairments in wet conditions, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 does not suffer from serious weaknesses. It maintains a decent level of performance that, while not always convincing, avoids critical shortcomings. The use of Enliten technology is heralded for enhancing the tire's efficiency by significantly reducing rolling resistance, which is a key factor in its favorable environmental evaluation.
In summary, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 is an environmentally friendly summer tire that offers a balanced high-performance level, especially notable for its low wear, fuel efficiency, and good aquaplaning prevention. While it excels on dry roads, offering dynamic and controllable handling, its performance on wet surfaces, although generally secure, may fall slightly behind in certain aspects such as grip and handling. These characteristics make the Turanza 6 a solid choice for drivers prioritizing sustainability and efficiency without drastically compromising on safety and handling in variable conditions.
Bridgestone Turanza 6 is made in 115 sizes, starting from 195/50 R16 up to 285/30 R22.
