  After four years and 49,000 kilometers in various driving conditions, it's time to evaluate the Bridgestone Turanza T005 195/50 R15 82H TL objectively and without the enthusiasm of the initial purchase.

  During these years, the tires have proven their reliability in various driving conditions. Having tested their limits on different terrains, from asphalt to snow, gravel, glass, and charcoal from forest fires, I can say that the tires have demonstrated their performance in an exceptional way.

  On dry roads, they offered excellent grip and stability, while on wet roads, their performance was equally impressive, providing safety and confidence in driving, especially when braking or making turns. Truly, as shown in the photo, crossing every corner of the Peloponnese, I have tested these tires in every possible condition.

  In the first 20,000 kilometers, I noticed approximately one liter of fuel economy per 100 kilometers, and gradually, the wear brought the consumption back to previous levels.

  I tried these tires with different pressures and concluded that they work better with slightly lower pressure, offering smoother driving in all conditions. I also noticed that they hardly lost any air.

  In the four years, they saved me at least once from a collision on a turn, where I barely stopped on the front bumper, and they betrayed me once in heavy rain. Although they provided incredible confidence to drive at 100-120 kilometers per hour, in an area with pooled water, I faced hydroplaning. I know that the tires are not solely responsible for this, but I think that if I had a good branded 55 tire with the correct pressure, it might not have happened.

  For someone looking for a tire for everyday use, trips, and city commuting, I believe it is one of the best choices in this size, maybe even the best. It is not suitable for extreme sport situations, and overall, I think they have sacrificed very little to achieve such fuel economy. In general, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 195/50 R15 82H TL is an excellent choice that provides safety, comfort, and reliability in driving, while saving fuel and with minimal noise.

  P.S. A large part of the purchase cost has been offset by the kilometers I have driven and the fuel economy they have provided me. Now, when it's time to replace them and considering the options I have, they are number one on my list (but this time in 55 size)

  I expected years to pass before evaluating them, the best I have worn (Seat Ibiza 2003) in my car. Even now, when they are supposed to be at their last, I don't have any feeling of instability in the car, without meaning that I am tempting fate. The only downside now that I am writing the review is their incredible price increase. For goodness sake, from 55 to 80?? It's a shame because they are truly great tires...

  VW Polo 9N and daily use of 70km with smooth driving within Attica due to work. This is the condition of the front tires after 40,000 km (front-wheel drive car) and worn out two years ago. The rear tires are like new, so I estimate that 1 set of rear tires corresponds to 2 sets of front tires in this particular case.

  They may look tragic in appearance, but they still have grip and have not slipped at all. But yes, they need to be changed urgently and I don't think I will pay 40-50€ less for something less reputable.

  The tires are amazing in both wet and dry conditions, I believe they are perfect for everyday city cars and not for cars that do off-roading, turning, and racing. I think they are the top tire for such a small size, but they require a lot of attention because they are said to tear easily. I might put them on again, but it depends on the car and the size of the rim always.. for my size 195/50/15 I believe they are top.. I'm waiting to see their wear in 2 years or 25-30,000 kilometers and their performance. Those of you who have city cars, put them on without a second thought!

  I was late to write a review for a tire that is used on all 3 family cars. I am a fan of the Turanza series from T001. When it rains, you think you have a rain tire, when it's hot, you think you have a kart. It is hard and durable for our roads, I have been using them on my smart car for the 5th summer and I forgot about them! I'm going for a change...

  At 27,000 km installed on a Fiat Punto 1.200 cc model 2000, they showed external shadows.
  They take a long time to warm up and have moderate grip in the rain.
  The car is in the garage.
  I would not choose them again.

  Smart 454, driving in the city, winter or summer, the car has never slipped and I even drove uphill in the rain and started uphill in the rain, it never slipped. Of course, I will use it again

  The tire is the best available at this price. It is better in terms of fuel economy and better in braking on wet roads compared to UNIROYAL (although BRIDGESTONE is superior on dry roads). If you want it for racing on tracks and you are not concerned about fuel consumption and the cost of the tire, as well as its wear, then go for mp3. However, compared to well-known brands, it excels overall (including the energy saver)

  I have a Fiat Punto 95hp, I always wear good tires, the Turanza for me is the best tire I have put on. I had Michelin, now I wear the Pirelli P1 but I will still look to put on the Turanza

  I wear them on a Fiat 500 and before I used to wear Michelin Pilot Sport 3. The difference between the two brands is significant, clearly Bridgestone is inferior. It is a tire that offers relatively good grip on dry roads (if it has warmed up well), decent grip on wet roads, and a quiet ride. It is not suitable for playing around corners, etc., like the Pilot Sport 3, nor for high speeds. For their price, they are a very good choice in my opinion, but I would recommend you to increase your budget a bit and go for something better!
