Both tyres offer excellent performance and have been highly ranked in various tests. In this comparison, we will analyse their strengths and weaknesses based on the test results, and determine which tyre is better overall.

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 is a highly-rated tyre, with a rating of 89% on our website. Made in countries like HU, PL, FR, and IT, this tyre offers a balanced performance on both dry and wet roads.

This tyre, made in countries like SK, DE, and CZ, is known for its excellent wet performance. It has received top marks for wet braking, wet circle cornering, and wet handling. It also performs well on dry roads, with good scores for dry steering response and handling. However, it has some weaknesses in terms of efficiency.

In the mutual tests, the Continental PremiumContact 6 generally ranks higher than the Bridgestone Turanza T005. For instance, in the ADAC test, the Continental PremiumContact 6 ranked first, while the Bridgestone Turanza T005 came in third. This trend continues in other tests, such as the Autozeitung test, where the Continental tyre ranked first and the Bridgestone tyre ranked fifth.

Both tyres are recommended by their respective manufacturers, with the Bridgestone tyre excelling in dry braking and fuel efficiency, while the Continental tyre offering outstanding wet performance and overall balance. The choice between these two tyres ultimately depends on your driving preferences and the specific conditions you often encounter.

In conclusion, while both the Bridgestone Turanza T005 and the Continental PremiumContact 6 are excellent summer touring tyres, the Continental PremiumContact 6 has a slight edge overall, due to its better performance in wet conditions and higher rankings in mutual tests. However, if dry performance and fuel efficiency are your top priorities, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 may be a better choice for your needs.
