Bridgestone Turanza ER592

Good – The first set I used was on a Nissan Pulsar (175/70/13). They immediately gave a better overall 'feel' to the car. There was improvements in interior noise levels, the steering response was more positive and the ride comfort improved. Wet weather driving too had a better and secure feel. Driving on unsealed roads there seemed to be less 'floating' than on other brands.

During their life of 51,000kms they did not seem to 'go off' with age, but I did find they were a touch better with 4 PSI over the vehicles recommendations for tyre inflation.

Currently I am running a set of 205/65/15 on an AU Falcon wagon.

The same applies with the Falcon as with the Pulsar, both have improvements overall.

At this stage the Bridgestones on the Falcon have covered 35,000kms, and I look to be getting the same mileage from these as I did with the Pulsar.

Pricing is what you would expect in the sizes mentioned, and generally within 5 to 10 dollars of the competition.

Overall, a tyre well worth considering as a replacement on the family car, and a worthy option to consider as a touring tyre. Reasonably quiet running tyre at highway speeds.

Better steering control.

Stable on unsealed roads.

Good mileage. Currently only available at Bridgestone Retailers

Excellent – Excellent product. Previous tyres on this AUIII Falcon wagon were Dunlop NCT Eagles, which gripped well but wore out in 31,000km. The bridgestones have now done 45,000km and are less than half worn Good grip, quiet, long life, excellent ride. Not cheap. Paid $150 each in a set of 4.
