ADAC Summer tyre test 2024 215/55 R17 satisfactory Ranked #6 of 16In its debut appearance, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 secured 6th place among 16 competitors, earning a final rating of 'Satisfactory'. The tyre was praised for its excellent aquaplaning resistance, predicted long lifespan, low wear, incredibly light weight, and reduced fuel consumption. However, it demonstrated minor weaknesses on both dry and wet roads which impacted its safety ratings. While its performance in terms of feedback and precision on dry roads left something to be desired, its braking capabilities were noted to be commendably good. On wet surfaces, despite good aquaplaning test results, it fell short in braking distance measurements and handling, with a mediocre grip level that struggled to effectively combine longitudinal and lateral forces. The tyre stood out particularly in aquaplaning - longitudinal and interior noise, showcasing its strengths in both water displacement and providing a quieter ride. Its environmental impact was positively noted, with good points for lifespan, wear, and efficiency, although it missed higher marks for exterior noise and sustainability aspects.
