Today we're comparing two popular summer tyres: the Nokian WetProof and the Bridgestone Turanza T005. Both these tyres are renowned for their performance, with the Nokian WetProof rated at 83% and the Bridgestone Turanza T005 at 89% on our site.
The Nokian WetProof is manufactured in Finland. It doesn't have a replacement model or previous versions. In comparison to the Bridgestone Turanza T005, it generally ranked lower in most tests. Yet, it consistently excelled in noise reduction and wet circle cornering. Tests by Autoklub ČR and Firmenauto particularly featured the tyre's superior exterior noise and sophisticated wet handling. However, the WetProof was observed to have weaknesses in performance consistency and tyre wear in the Autoklubcr 2023 summary.
The Bridgestone Turanza T005 is produced in multiple European countries, such as Hungary, Poland, France, and Italy. It specializes in touring. The Bridgestone Turanza T005 took high positions in most tests, regularly outperforming the WetProof. A repeated strength was its rolling resistance and wet circle cornering, as documented by Autoklub ČR and Autobild. Yet, it showed unparalleled performance in dry handling and dry lane changing, as identified by Firmenauto.
Despite those differences, both tyres show exceptional attributes in specific domains. The WetProof parks itself as a true performer when it comes to reduced exterior noise, and wet handling. The Turanza T005, on the other hand, stood out for its lower rolling resistance and dry handling.
As a result, the fundamental decision between these two fine Nokian and Bridgestone tyres comes down to specific needs. If you value noise reduction and wet handling, the WetProof could be an excellent choice. But if excellent rolling resistance and dry handling are crucial to you, the Turanza T005 may suit you better.
Verdict: Both the Nokian WetProof and the Bridgestone Turanza T005 deliver solid performances. However, the Turanza T005, with its overall higher ratings, tend to lead in the tests, and thus often comes out ahead.
