Not a single word on comfort, noise, rolling resistance or durability, all extremely important aspects of a touring tyre. I expected a lot more from a specialized channel. I’m glad we have tyre reviews for that.
For confort bridgestone is better, for rolling resistence i think bridgestone and continental are almost the same, durability/wear, continental is better. I have a set of bridgestone turanza 6 on my car, i love them. But next time i will buy continental premiumcontact 7 just because of the dry and wet breaking.

Hi Pedro, As per the first response, this type of testing is lengthy and expensive. Even in real world scenarios it will take a long time to determine how long tyres will last as it depends on a variety of factors such as how often is the car driven, how far, road conditions and temperatures. All of which can't be catered for. Instead we focus on the direct impact on having the best possible tyres for your vehicle. If you decide to use our advice, great, if not that's also totally fine.
I also have the Turanza 6's all-round on my Audi A3 Etron and they are a great tyre-stable, quiet and they seem to eek out good mileage when in pure electric state and stunning MPG in hybrid or petrol modes (60-70 mpg average, even on long trips).

Comfort is very important to me. I can live with a tyre that is 0.2seconds slower round a track, if it doesn't break my back. But theres no information to this?
Bridgestone managed something really impressive with the Turanza6, because of all of the tyres reviewed here it has the less rolling resistance which directly translates to up to 10 % fuel saving, which at the end of the year is a hell of a lot of money, the difference in all the other characteristics compared to the competitors is very small, only wet braking can be a problem.
i have the asymmetric 6 on the front of my accord diesel, and just yesterday put the turanza 6( fancied a change of manufacturer ) on the rear , on other sites the turanza 6 does not get great test results, i hope i have made a good decision i guess a lot depends on the car and driver
Just had Conti PC7 (235/45R18) fitted to my Tesla Model 3 after driving on Michelin PS4 for 2 ½ years (43,000kms from new to tread limit). The Contis are absolutely better in every way than the Michelins.
I have the Pirelli's and I really love them. Please everybody, buy decent tyres so that both you and the ones surrounding you are safe. Cheap tyres offer cheap performance, always.
Ive got turenza 6’s on my 2.0 cdti insignia, (225/55R17 XL) amazing tyre. Fitted in august done 15,000 on them in all weather and it is faultless. If you push it beyond what it’s really meant for it still clings on and behaves predictably, when pushing it on fast direction changes, roundabouts etc. Wet weather feels like its dry, ive hit some god awful standing water down here in cornwall at 50+ and it doesn’t even move the steering wheel. When i first got them i tried seeing how far the limit was in the wet and gave up when it became apparent the speeds i would need to be doing were not going to be great for me when they did let go.
@ not bad at all really on a second set of front after doing 18k on the fronts they were at 2.4mm and I just got them changed, rears are on 25k and have 5mm still, the replacement fronts are on 7k and have 5mm on, my car weighs 1.7 ton and I drive quite aggressively at times. I’ve got no complaints really.
@@FCI1908 db depends also on the size of the tyres, even if they are of the same type. I have just fitted my MB C Class coupe with Turanzas 6, 225/45/17 at the front and 245/40/17 at the rear, wanted Contis Premium contact7 but they dont have them in 245/40/17, so I went with the Turanzas. Front 225/45/17 are rated at 69 db and the rear 245/40/17 at 70 db. Nice and quiet ride!
Nice test, thanks. I own an Alfa Giulia (300hp, 500 Nm torque), with the stock Continental EcoContact 6 that I hate (noise, aquaplaning). I am still hesitating to replace them with one of these touring tyres, or with sport tyres (like Michelin PS5). I appreciate silence for sure, but do not want to degrade the driving pleasure I have with my current setup. Would you have any recommendation please ?
@@manu02 Thanks. Since then I got GoodYear Eagle asymetric 6. I don’t know if they are the best, but they are a huge improvement already. Very satisfied.
I had stock Conti Eco Contact 6s too and my God, they were terrible and dangerous when wet . I got rid of them after 2 months with 5mm still left on them. I changed to Turanza 6s and the difference is night and day.
@@BatfinksWings i know, eco contact 6 are bad. Try premiumcontact 6-7 or sportcontact. Huge difference. Btw, i have turanza 6 too,i like them. But next time i will try continental premiumcontact 7 or 8. For winter, continental wintercontact ts 870 p.
Hi all guys, soon I will have to change the tires on my Jeep Renegade 1.6 130hp 235/45/19. I'll start by saying that I don't do (offroad) but only city use (urban and extra-urban) here in Italy the roads are full of potholes! I now have the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport. what do you recommend?
Are 19" wheels standard on the Renegade? I thought the biggest one was 18". Anyway, 19" on 235mm width tyres are a bit much for such a underpowered engine. You need to look for something with very low rolling resistence, such as the Michelin Primacy 4.
what happened to the test of best Mid.range UHP test published a few days ago. Gone missing and old link goes to "this video is private"... who did you irritate, forcing you to take it off...
Michelin' Primacy 4+ s are worst tyres ever had in 41 years of motoring. Wore out in 8400 miles to bald and nearly killed me aquaplaning on motorway at 60mph when they still had plenty of tread. Just terrible. I have / had expensive tyres (Goodyear F1, Conti 6 and now Bridgestone Touranza 6) on my E350D but they seem worse than the Landsail budgets that I had on my previous Jag in every way. They lasted forever, gripped well (never aquaplaned and felt secure in the wet) and were half the price.

Comfort and noise are the most important, since not everyday we go for racing or drive above the speed limit.
Road noise and comfort? Two very important categories
I'm driving Conti PC7 and you have to drive it to belive it how good they are.... Absolute blast!
Do you have problem with excessive wear like i see many of people have...some said after 15000 tyres are for garbage
@@darioborovcak341 nope, I don't believe so much in so called "comments", just a payed trolls. Conti PC7 have excellent wear.

Please keep up the good work doing these video's, there aren't enough videos like these and I find them fascinating.
Great review.
Tyre test on 225-45-18
But the footage seems to be of 17" wheels and tyres
What about turanza 6 vs asymmetric f1 6 ???

What is the thread now?? I see people have complaint about excessive wear. They said tyre is for garbage after 15-20000 kilometers
Thanks for your review! You made up my mind!

@@cloric1 Really appreciate the info. Deciding on the Turanza 6 or Goodyear efficient grip 2. 👍
continental premium 7 quieter than turanza 6?
continental should be 72 DB and turanza is 70 DB according to both manufacturers
Turanza 6 is 71 db. I mounted them 3 days ago on my Audi Q7.
@@FCI1908 db depends also on the size of the tyres, even if they are of the same type. I have just fitted my MB C Class coupe with Turanzas 6, 225/45/17 at the front and 245/40/17 at the rear, wanted Contis Premium contact7 but they dont have them in 245/40/17, so I went with the Turanzas.

Nice and quiet ride!
How come no Goodyear was tested, there a premium tyre manufacturer so should be in the test.
Hi, unfortunately the Goodyear tyres ordered weren't delivered in time for this test. You can see how they performed in our 2022 test.
Keep going Steve!!

Good Year Assymetric 6 is much better than all of these together
COMMON ????
I.ll buy the cheapest!😂...but my wife drive only Miche..
A very very bad review from all perspectives . If you don't have the money to perform a thorough test DONT DO IT. You mislead people
What a load of rubbish, the time in the wet is faster than the dry time. 😂
I can see where the confusion lies, however the wet track is a lot shorter than the dry, hence the quicker time.
Bridgestone turanza t 005..
