Bridgestone Turanza ER300

Great run. No worries still 0.5mm when replaced with Bridgestone serenity plus at 59000km – Well now here we are in may2025. Back to the past these tyres have ripped me off!!! Sneaky Bridgestone, did they use the old moulds and rebrand it serenity? Now outside warranty the tyres have worn through the honeymoon layers to the patchwork quilt they have used in the inner layers. I sent it in to our mechanic with around1 MM over the ribbed… Read more

marker ribs. Just a little rub rub type noise. They found it’s the tyres. Just like the last lot! Use Bridgestone again? I don’t think so! Sorry to put you crook initially. Be warned about this sneaky underhand brand.

Initially below is still true. They have lasted well. Shame about the developing noise!

Performed well in the wet and dry on Suzuki SX4. Standard equipment 205 60 14. Got noisey as they hit 0.5mm off marker ribs on tyre. Ok on loose stone in 4x4. Braking was excellent dodged two Roos! Recommended replacement by Bridgestone is the serenity plus. Got the 3 plus 1 extra for $10 deal. Just over $500 fitted and balanced.

Big wet weather improvers; great all-round performers – I'm not sure about the ER300 bizo (going by the tread pattern, I have what looks like the 'Serenity Plus' model, with the two big grooves to one side of the tyres and one big groove on the other) but I definitely have a set of 215/60R16 Bridgestone Turanza 'Eco' tyres on my VX II S Commie. I bought the car second-hand and soon discovered the tyres… Read more

that were on it (Hankooks, I think?) were short on grip. When I moved to an area with lots of roundabouts I was alarmed to find the car readily breaking traction on all four corners and slipping sideways in those roundabouts whenever it rained, even at quite modest speeds. On recommendation from my mechanic, the Bridgestones went on the car and they made a huge difference. I could drive 'normally' and confidently through those roundabouts in the rain and in fact, the tyres have never slipped on me even though I'm generally a quick (though not a properly 'fast') driver. I've since moved to the country and the tyres feel good on the small, bumpy highways and tight, curvy sections of hilly road, despite they're not being "low profile" sports tyres.

These are designated 'Eco' tyres, which is to say they have a silicone-infused rubber compound that is said to markedly improve rolling resistance while retaining excellent road grip (you can read about 'Eco' tyres here: https://www.tyresales.com.au/help/tyre-buying-guide?gclid=CLqRgsTfstQCFdgjvQodCDYPQw). I don't know if my Commie's fuel economy improved all that noticeably, what with petrol prices oscillating so violently lately, but at times I am astounded at how far I can go on a tank-full of juice. By the way, I always inflate my tyres to 40 psi and let 'em slowly ease back to 35 over a couple of months before pumping 'em up again. The grip is definitely there and the tyres seem to be quite long wearing – after approximately 50,000 kms there's still plenty of wear left in them.

The only caveat with these tyres – and it's probably peculiar to VT/VX Commies running 16" factory alloy wheels – is that the front wheels seem to be rubbing a little on the body at full lock. I suspect the tyre shop guys might've known it would be a tight fit due to some hesitancy with their recommendation ... but they insisted that the Turanzas were the best solution and the one they'd go for if it were their own car. Since I bought these tyres during a Bridgestone "Get the 4th tyre free" promotion, I think at $450 (+ wheel balancing) these tyres strike that happy combination of quality and value for money, so I have to give these tyres full marks; the slight sizing issue on my Commie notwithstanding.

[edit 2018] So the Commie briefly broke traction on the most dangerous section of road I regularly travel: a black spot that in the last two years has claimed at least two European exotics that I know of. Powering hard uphill to overtake a slower driver in the rain on that steep, tightly bending, slippery and too-short overtaking lane, I felt the car's backside suddenly lighten and step out a little. Some dashboard lights briefly fired and I felt a little engine power come off momentarily: I later realised it was the Commie's Traction Control system working to help the tyres bite into the road again, which they did in very short order. The car's rear-end tucked back in and I just kept going like normal: it all happened so quickly I didn't even have time to react, though my heart skipped a beat I can assure you! Phew! GOOD TYRES!

Good but way overpriced... 225 55 16 – Put a set of these on my 2009 Aurion AT-X and have been quite impressed. * Wet grip is exceptional - going through deep waters during various severe drenchings on the Huume Highway between Canberra and Sydney - never aquaplaned or ever felt like it would aquaplane. Inspired confidence in wet at any speed. * In the dry around corner handles… Read more

very well considering its on a standard AT-X model. However from a start position (like a set of lights) - no better than crappy Duplop 300E (OEM tyre) where you still get torque steer when you put boot the boot in.

* On the open road through winding roads at all speeds feels comfortable and safe. In city driving jumping lanes, etc no problems.

* Braking is very good and better than OEM tyres. Pulls up fast and staright - wet or dry. ABS never kicks (i.e also never locks up) in even in wet during severe braking when a car pulled out in front of me at 80km/h.

* Price - very expensive. Probally the size but still .... (had cashback offers from Kmart and Bridgestone - so really only paid about $169 a tyre).

While they are asymetrical which is really a selling gimmick as regardless of asymetrical, unidirectional, etc - a tyre either does the job or doesn't. There are plently of non-asynmetrical tyres that grip just as well as this tyre in both wet and dry (for e.g. Maxxis MA-Z1 Victra).

* Noise:

Very quiet - dead quiet - now i can hear the occasional rattle better ... [OEM tyres were shockingly noisy on every road surface and just got noisier and noisier].

* Quality:

Made in Japan (a surprise but the price makes it less surprising). Well made (casting, sidewall, etc) and the side wall is sexy and not an advertising board for the manufacturer.

* Sidenote:

I had to put on 225 55 16 on my Aurion as they are not available in a normal and most poplular size of 215 60 16. Stupidly, you can get 225 60 16 which rarely gets used. What the? Can't use that size as would put speedo over by about 3km/h. Grip wet and dry - sexy looking Price. Most popluar 16" size of 215 60 16 not available but weird tyre sizes are.

Great tyres – We changed four tyres 6 months and no complaints so far. It is for my small car yarris, good grip on road during dry and wet season. And bridgestone company also provide half price on alignment on 6 monthly or 10,000 km. And they have the offer of Buy 3 get one free so when compare to the local tyre prices it is not a bad deal.  Show details

Smooth and comfortable – Once I have changed my previous one with these new ones I can feel much more smooth driving with them. Good performance on fuel and nice and professional look. No more slip when I turn so, Have more control on the car on the road bends even when I push the gas pedal quickly.  Show details

23K, should be 40K – Took Toyota Aurion Presara to Tyre Power for a wheel alignment. Manager contacted me and said they can't do a wheel alignment as the four tyres need replacing. Firstly, at 2 years from new and 23K, that's not good. I expected 40K. Disappointed too with Tyre Power, the tyres still have 1.5mm tread although edges are a 'bit how do you do'. Not everyone has a spare $800 this time of year.  Show details

Smooth drive and no noise – Never had Turanza Tyres before, drive so smooth and no noise. Seem to have good control in the wet too. Only complaint is that they are losing colour already. Brown around the outside, I am sure this shouldn't be happening. Apart from that the grip isn't showing wear yet. I have only done 10,000kms on them but so far so good.  Show details

Good value – I've got a buy 3 get 4'th free offer, it's not something like very perfect, bit based on the price and the period I need the tyre, it was an excellent deal for me. The replacement also was included in the price and didn't took that much long. Generally happy with it.  Show details

Good quiet grippy tyre – Got these for a good price at Jax - 195/65/R15 size on a Toyota Prius. Car came with some Achilles brand garbage, swapped out immediately for these. Nice and quiet, good dry and wet weather grip, fairly comfortable ride due to softish sidewalls. I noticed that they got a fair bit louder near the end of their life which was odd, not sure if all… Read more

tyres do that. Also didn't last quite as long as my previous Michelin Energy XM2's - got 66000 kms instead of my usual 80000, but those tyres were significantly more expensive. Fuel consumption a little high too - not a low rolling resistance model.

In summary, good all round low price tyre that could do a bit better in the lifespan and fuel economy categories.

Road noise a spoiler – My 2016 Jazz came standard with these tyres . Good grip in wet and dry but noisy(hum) on smooth and rough road surfaces now at 22000km. Critical to check tyre pressures for optimum ride and handling. Show details

Great Tyres and excellent service – I have had these Tyres for two years now and every three months I can take my car back to Bridgestone at greenhills Nsw and they will rotate Tyres to give them the best lifespan. Very happy with my Tyres and I was given all the right details, eg what my tyre pressure should be and if I should be getting a balance done too  Show details

Long lasting tyres – These tyres were purchased on a 4 for 3 deal in 195/65/15. They lasted around 63k kms. They were rotated every 10k kms. Tyre pressures were kept at 34psi. They were not noisy and the grip in the wet was good. I would purchase again but only when the deal is available.  Show details

Decent for the price - – Bought these for the work ute. The traction and stability in the dry is really good. In the wet it seems they're just average. Fuel economy is about the same as the last set (Pirellis) but the wet traction through turns feels a bit less stable otherwise they'd have scored higher. They're wearing OK at about 3000 km, which was a concern as I've had other Bridgestones that wore fast. They're quiet at highway speeds, Would probably buy again.  Show details

Excellent - durable original equipment tire – Got the 16 inch as OEM on my 2014/15 Honda Jazz. Very good wet handling and trade off on grip/mileage. They lasted 30,000 klm over 4 years and didn't get noisy until about 20,000 on the clock.This compares favorably with all of my previous small city car tires: Pirellis were quieter, softer but less durable; Yokohamas fine but overpriced; MAXis… Read more

cheap and noisy. The Turanza is a great deal replacement tire if you can get it on sale. Would have bought them as replacements but the small 16 inches were considerably more expensive than Yokos, Toyos, and wound up purchasing highly rated, but inexpensive Hankook. Will report on these when they're on the road for a while.

reliable passenger vehicle tire – I bought my vehicle on March 2014 with this brand tires fitted. Replaced on November 2017 and 55,000km on clock. Based on my experience on 60% highway drive and 40% city drive, Bridgestone Turanza ER300 is quiet, works well and reliable. Highly recommended Bridgestone Turanza ER300. Ideally for family cars  Show details

Best performer any conditions! – My ve series 2 commodore had a set of these on when I bought the car but they were well worn. I replaced them with another Tyre brand and the difference in handling and performance was so great that I’ve replaced those tyres with a set of Bridgestone ‘s within weeks. There is a reason why Holden puts these on the commodores! Their performance is… Read more

outstanding in any driving conditions. I will never put any other tyres in my car..as for how they will wear..time will tell.

Very good reliable tyres – These are the best tyres I have had for my sedan. The look great but they also provide a very smooth ride. I get more than 12 months of wear out of them, more than I was getting for tyres a little less in value. I would definitely recommend and repurchase these tyres  Show details

Great Price and Great Service – Extremely happy. Bought these for my son's Falcon. Great value tyre and has an incredible amount of grip in the wet. I can't detect any road noise and the handling is fantastic. My local Bridgestone Select in Albany Creek recommended them. I'm very happy they did. I feel very comfortable knowing my son is driving around with these tyres on his car.  Show details

Crash Saver – I can honestly say these tyres saved me from an accident. I had recently purchased 4 new tyres for my car when I was heading to the city in the wet. The car in front of me locked up and hit the car in front od them. I stopped on a dime and the car behind me hit me. Out of 5 cars involved I was the only one not at fault and I owe that to these great wet weather performers.  Show details

Going to replace with another set of Bridgestone Turanza ER300! – My original OEM set of Bridgestone Turanza ER300 have lasted 55,000 km and are only now becoming a bit hard and "glassy" with a noticable loss of grip particularly in the wet. They have 2.7mm tread left, but I will be looking at replacing all four shortly. They have provided excellent grip and handling for a FWD car and annual rotation of tyres.… Read more

Noise levels only increase significantly when up at 100km/h and car has been very economical with them. I usually run them at 35PSI. Strongly recommend them and will replace with another set of the same.

great – great tyers performance is great and they have amazing traction lasted me 3 years in that time i did 48000km they were better then the dunlop tyres that came with the ford fg from factory that only lasted for 10000 km. the only down side is they are expensive 4 tyres cost $1200  Show details

Reliable and good value – Brought and fitted at Kmart Tyres with Costco price match 300 for a pair, never got a better value than that. Tyres are factory original fit with Commodore VE omega and very durable with solid grip, feel safe taken them through heavy rain and rough roads. I have not had any problem so far.  Show details

Happy with the performance so far – Got these tyres for my Toyota Camry Hybrid 2010 and have driven 7000 kilometers so far. I am pretty happy with the performance of the tyres so far. They have really nice grip specially in the wet conditions. Noise is also low. I have also got 50k kms warranty on these tyres from Bridgestone so have some peace of mind too.  Show details

Normal price, normal performance – The bridgestone Turanza tyres are the tyres most peoplo used, the price is standard through the product line. The performance is normal too, the braking distance might be longer than the prestige one. But anyways, it still a good tyre for daily crusing. They provide run flat tyre as well, I would recommend these tyres to the people have limited budget.  Show details

Perfect tyres – They are really good and reliable tyres. I had put this tyres on my holden commo ve 2010. These tyres are quite on road and haven't got any probs so far driven 10k. Bit expensive than other brands but no compromise with safety and security. Car feels good when driving on all sort of terrains.  Show details

Excellent performing – Tyres have longevity without compromising grip. I went to another brand briefly and hated it, straight back to these I went! They perform well in dry and wet weather conditions. I have now gone through about 4 sets of these. The potenza series are excellent also. I'll always be buying bridgestone from now on.  Show details

Decent Tyres, No Problems – Bought and fitted at Bridgestone and haven't had a problem, taken them through heavy rain and bad roads, with potholes and the lot with no dramas. Tyres are durable, done 10,000 ks without an issue yet the wear and tear has been minimal. The car does seem less controlled at higher speeds as to my previous tyres  Show details

Impressed – I'm now on my third set of tyres on my 2001 Lexus LS 430. It's a large, heavy, powerful V8. When I bought the vehicle it had a worn out set of rubbish on it so replaced these with Conti MC5's. These were not good tyres, handled poorly (on par with the Chinese stuff the car came with). The Turanza's were OEM equipment on the LS430, so through I'd… Read more

given them a shot.

Such a serious improvement over the MC5's. The ride is quiet, handing very good and I've done around 40,000km on them. They have about another 5k left in them. Compared with the 18k I got out of the Continentals, I'm extremely satisfied. Good in the wet and dry, I'll be replacing them with exactly the same when these ones wear out.

Good mainstream tyres – I bought a set of these to replace the horrible Kenda things the prior owner had fitted. I do over 1200km a week, sometimes a lot over. Have now just fitted my 3rd set of these in 225/60 after getting 40k out of the last set. Quiet, good braking, acceptable lateral grip and excellent durability (rotate your tyres and get your front end aligned).  Show details

Outstanding Tyres – I put a set of Turanza ER300 205/55 R16 tyres on my Corolla after the original set of Dunlops ran out at 47000kms, I've now done 75000kms and will be replacing them with the same ER300 again, brilliant durability. They hold the road, grip well, and handle safely in wet conditions. I would highly recommend them as after investigating, no-one can tell me a passenger tyre that can do this kind of mileage.  Show details

Wear out very fast – At my service, my mechanic told me that I need to replace tyres at at the next service. Only done 28,000 km's and I always got around 60,000 kms. I won't recommend this tyre for any large car. Really disappointed with having to replace tyres so soon after paying $700.  Show details

Great all rounder with good wet performance – These tyres have good wet performance with emphasis on braking. In terms of life-span they are middle of the road from my experience, and possibly shorter than what people expect for a family car. I think I got around 40,000kms from the last set, and recently got a new set (with some RE002 in between). However to balance that out is great wet… Read more

weather performance. In terms of noise I think they are pretty good compared to tyres I have had previously.

I also found these tyres made my car more responsive to steering wheel input, over the Dunlops that came on the car originally. At first it was strange but I quickly got used to that, and now prefer to car to turn in the direction I want without any lag.

Great tyres!! – I had a set of 4 for my VW Golf. Got them around 9 months ago for a good price from Tyroola and happy with the purchase. I check tyre pressure every 3000 KM and I'm a pretty aggressive driver, the tyres have been keeping well. I am definitely going to buy them again  Show details
