Tyrereviews.com gave it 2 stars for a reason
It’s a budget Bridgestone honestly, wet grip is horrible with plenty of thread-life left, dry grip is average, road noise is low (only plus point) I would stay away if you are concerned about your safety
100,000 km and still good.
Six years ago we installed our first set of Turanza Serenity Plus tyres on our trusty little Toyota Echo. They came with a 50,000 km warranty. We've recently replaced them, with four of the same, after 100,430 km!
All tyres were evenly worn and still had roadworthy tread, as confirmed by a Bridgestone specialist who inspected them, with a likely 5 to 10k of legal rubber remaining. However, with an extensive road trip pending, it was an appropriate time to change them. Because of their condition we've retained two for use as spares ..
... Read more. See the photo's and judge for yourself. I trust the Bridgestone brand! Over the years we've had several sets. All exceeded 60k, but the Turanzas have certainly proven the best and provided outstanding value for money ... I could not have asked for better! They've carried my wife and I extensively throughout Australia, including over some punishing outback roads, sealed and unsealed, all without a hitch! We've had one puncture in six years and no other issues. At the time of installation I was confident these tyres would exceed their warranty, expecting them to travel 80k or more, but to reach 100 was all bonus. So, why have they done so well?Purchased in at Bridgestone Select for $327.

Perfect for Mid Range cars.
I purchased these tyres about 5 years ago after a range of tyres. These have lasted 105,000km and have been driven across Australia on highways (eg from Adelaide to Perth) and driving extensively through the Adelaide Hills, and city driving. The handling has been great on bitumised surfaces in the extreme heat and on very wet Hills where leaf litter, mud, stones and branches have affected the road. They have been quieter than my other tyres and the grip is great for the life of the tyres. While other cars squealled as they came into corners, my car remained silent. The fuel economy has been exceptional as I have averaged <7L/100km.

Glide serenely
For my second trye review, i comment on the bridgestone turanza serenity plus; very aptly named. My second car, also a C class, started the wobbles literally up and down while in slow traffic developing into harsh vibration at speed. The tyres seemingly looking ok until i discovered the rears were well down to the bars which caused the vibration and extra cabin noise when the rest of the tread is worn away. Back to Donnellans for the second time in the month. Again, they were excellent in their dealings and sensitive to my dread of forking out
... Read more for the second time in a month, facing the fact I needed two new on the back and a badly worn outer shoulder on the front passenger side, left no choice but to go four new tyres and the wheel alignment. The 'bridgies' are a hefty price too, but soon forgotten. I can report that my Elegance has never travelled so smoothly since I've owned it after 9 years. Combined with its recent servicing and engine mounts in particular, these tyres are worth every penny if you are looking for extra joy in a luxury car. They bought back to the driving experience of this car what unwittingly seemed to have gone missing over the proceeding years. Control at the wheel is their standout feature apart from almost zero road noise, supple comfort, sure footedness and silky smooth highway ride. The Melba highway to Yea is full of road repairs and potholes at present (Jan 23) and these tyres made the journey fun, safe and smooth. I made sure Donnellans lowered the pressures to 32 which helps enormously I discovered and I'm happy to pay for the so-called shorter life span given I only travel about 8Ks a year.Purchased in at Donnellans The Tyremen.

Best Tyre for Long distance running
I purchased 4 tyres from a Bridgestone Select dealer on a buy 3 tyres and get a 4th free, with a special 60,000km/36 month warrantee whatever comes first. If a tyre suffers any damage you would get a pro rata cost rebate based on how many kms you have done or at what point of the 36 month warrantee the tyres were at. I had 2 tyres damaged by a pothole in the 1st- 4 months of the warrantee (see photo), and it was replaced at a prorate cost of $5.59 each. You just have to take the vehicle for a free inspection every 10,000 kms where they rotate t

Good wet weather handling during it's life. If you are doing frequent long distance running, I would recommend this tyre.Purchased in at Bridgestone Select for $537.

Ashamed about the tyre failure otherwise an excellent tyre!
I owned these tyres for only 1.5 years and 30,000kms before one of them had a pin stick in it and failed during highway. But here me out, why I gave it 5 stars:
- great traction in the wet
- strong and durable. I drive them mostly in the highway but I also drove them in the Australian unsealed gravel tracks for at least 150km driving in an eroded road full of massive potholes, rocks, undulations etc. They still held pressure after the trip and had not grip problems in the heavy rain in muddy ground. Ride was stabled and I felt confident, bumpi

Fantastic improvement, comfort, handling. Great 4 for 3 deal.
Mazda 6 GJ - 225/55R17. Big improvement on handling. Very quite and with the added comfort as it rolls over these crappy Brisbane roads. Best was the price from 'BridgeStone Select' with great 4 for 3 deal and wheel alignment. They are new so time will tell on durability and grip but so far very very good.
So good I also put 4 new tyres on my kids Mazda 3 BK (205/55R16) and the Mazda 3 BL (195/65R15). The ride is transformed in the BK. The kids have noticed the added comfort, and quiet, and handling. My only gripe is the tyre pressures were at

Disappointing compared to much less expensive tyres
I really wanted to like these since they do very well what they promise on the tin - reduce road noise. The difference versus the original stock tyres in terms of road noise was quite noticeable. However in hindsight, many competitors are now introducing noise reduction features into their own tyres and the brand differences in this respect are no longer as stark as they might have been a few years ago.
But where these tyres really fell down for me is in the harsh ride quality as well as the propensity to induce quite noticeable (rear end) bum
... Read morep steer on my (admittedly bread and butter) torsion beam rear-ended car. Bear in mind however that a very large number of cars these days sport this type of inexpensive rear end and it is only the more premium or sports oriented models that have independent and / or more sophisticated suspensions. Yet the much less expensive tyres I now have show no sign at all of producing this handling issue on my car - it is now perfectly neutral once again. But with the Serenity plus, it did not even matter if I reduced rear tyre pressures in order to try to increase rear end grip - the tyres still produced that bump steer on higher speed roads with imperfect surfaces even at 3 psi below placard (I was not prepared to go any lower than that and other pressures including at placard or higher made no difference either). Perhaps this relates also to the ride being quite uncomfortable regardless of tyre pressure (though I stuck mainly to the placard recommendations). These tyres felt very "wooden" especially once the tyres were around a year old - which in turn might go some way to explaining why they made the rear feel less secure with so much less weight over the tyres being a front wheel drive car. Bottom line is after 12 months I had had enough of them - I had come to dread driving due to the ride quality. My new tyres are no louder than these were, do not induce any handling issues at normal road speeds and the ride quality is back to its organic self. A big disappointment given the brand pedigree and premium price.Purchased in .

Fantastic stopping in the wet, 20% more tread so lasts well too.
We have a Subaru Outback and tow a camper trailer so really keen to have good performance tyers especially braking in the wet. This tyre has done a great job of meeting this need and also lasting well (we got 5 years). Just now we had a little slip in the wet on bitumen and decided it is time to replace them.

Very durable and confident tyre
I left the faith of fitting a good set of Tyres to my wife’s Subaru levorg to Bridgestone Coomera approx September 2020, as we had just bought the car, it past roadworthy but the Tyres were worn. So with no 2nd guessing just get new Tyres.
My wife does drive very aggressively at times and we do carry a bit of weight
After the 2nd Tyre rotation in 12months
They still look near new with very little to no wear after 26,000ks
Very confident in all conditions so far.
No I wouldn’t use them as a racing Tyre but they are not designed for that.
I’m that confident in them I put a set on my daughters car as a Xmas present.
Excellent service from Bridgestone
These Tyres are a great value, safe durable Tyre even for the fussiest of drivers.

What an improvement they've made to the car
We've just upgraded the misses car to these from a lower end tyre that were installed on the car by previous owner. The improvement is hard to believe. My wife, who normally couldn't care less about such topics has praised them without prompt. Sometimes, you get what you pay for.
While their life and durability will take more time to assess, I can say that handling, ride, noise and overall feel of the car has been positively transformed. Compliments the suspension very nicely. I have little concern over their wet performance either, if other r
... Read moreeviews keep true. I honestly had never liked driving this car, a 2013 Impreza, until this week when the tyres got swapped to Serenitys. We live in Tasmania with rough and twisty roads. Even with alignment well set, the previous tyres made the car a bit of a chore to drive. I can honestly say it is a pleasure to pilot now and I wish we'd put the tyres on when we first bought the car.Purchased in .

Questions & Answers
Pressure of Serenity Plus
Can the Turanza Serenty Plus tyres be rotated diagonally?
Sorry, I can't answer your question. All I can say is that with my driving routine and high freeway klms the wear has been pretty even across all 4 tyres and rotation has not been necessary to date- on any of the 3 sets of these tyres I've had fitted. Currently, I've reached 60,000-odd Klms on 3rd set and there's easily another 20,000+ remaining. As an economical tyre on my daily driver, I can't fault them. Cheers.
