When comparing summer tyres, two notable models stand out - the Bridgestone Turanza T005 and the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. Distinguished by their impressive grips, aquaplaning resistance and handling performances, both tyres hold strong positions in ADAC and Autobild tests. Let's take a deeper dive into their features and performance to understand their value.
The Bridgestone Turanza T005, rated 89% by our analysts, is a top-notch touring tyre manufactured in Europe (HU, PL, FR, IT). Bridgestone, a leading tyre manufacturer prides itself on the T005’s dry driving behavior, wet braking, and wet handling. It notably excelled in Wet Circle Cornering in ADAC tests and effectively resisted Aquaplaning, lending drivers a peace of mind. In the Autobild test, it showcased excellent wet handling, securing second position out of 51 tyres. T005 is not succeeded by any recent model.
On the other hand, the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5, produced in Czech Republic, scores significantly lower at 68%. However, do not be misled by the score as it has plenty to offer. The strengths of this Continental include Aquaplaning, an attribute shared with the T005, and reduced interior noise. Ranking 9th out of 16 tyres in the ADAC test, this model did not perform as highly as its counterpart. But, in the Autobild test it managed to clinch the 5th position. Impressively, the ContiPremiumContact 5 has been further refined and replaced by the newer Continental PremiumContact 6 model, which warrants a look for those interested in the latest advancements in tyre technology.
To sum up, both tyres offer commendable attributes for summer conditions. The Bridgestone Turanza T005 tends to provide superior wet and dry handling, while the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 is a strong performer in aquaplaning resistance and offers quieter interior noise. However, when we consider their overall performance in mutual tests, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 has a slight edge due to its higher ranking positions. Nevertheless, it's essential to identify the specific needs from your tyres based on your driving conditions and preferences when choosing between these two models.
