TECHNICAL FEATURES & BENEFITS
Optimised tread pattern
For that extra grip on wet roads
The Turanza T005 tread pattern helps you feel more secure and prepared when driving through heavy rain or over wet patches on the road. The high blocks in the shoulder area and a wide gap in the centre work together to disperse water from the tyre surface quickly and reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
NanoPro-Tech™ in the tyre compound
Best-in-class wet performance
Independent tyre tests show Turanza T005 outperforms other leading tyres in braking and turning on wet roads. What sets Turanza T005 apart from other tyres is its compound, which uses NanoPro-Tech™. This exclusive Bridgestone technology helps the rubber absorb water on the road to improve the tyre’s wet grip.
Robust construction and tread
Outstanding EU Label Grades
Our tyre engineers chose the best materials to enhance Turanza T005’s performance characteristics. Under the rubber, stiff polyester and steel strengthen handling and reduce rolling resistance to help your vehicle save fuel. Together, these enhancements, along with the compound and tread, earned Turanza T005 EU Label Grade A for wet grip and B for rolling resistance.
