Bridgestone Turanza 6 (225/55R18 98H)

The 2026 Benchmark for Wet Safety and Efficiency.

The Turanza 6 is designed for drivers who prioritize a quiet cabin and total control during sudden summer rainstorms. It has been independently recognized for offering “best-in-class” wet performance, particularly in cornering and emergency braking.

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🌧️ Class-A Wet Performance:

  Featuring a Divergent Shoulder Lug Design, the Turanza 6 channels water away from the contact patch more aggressively than its predecessor. This significantly reduces the risk of aquaplaning and ensures the car remains stable during wet-weather highway maneuvers.

• 🔇 8% Noise Reduction:

  The tread incorporates Slit Silencers—special notches in the grooves that break up air resonance before it enters the cabin.7 At 69 dB, it provides a “whisper-quiet” ride that is ideal for the echo-prone cabins of modern SUVs and quiet electric vehicles.

• 📏 22% Increased Mileage:

  By using Double Angle 3D Washboard Sipes, the tread blocks interlock to increase stiffness. This prevents “scrubbing” (premature wear) and ensures that pressure is distributed evenly, allowing the tyre to last much longer than traditional touring options.

• 🔋 Range & Fuel Optimization:

  The ENLITEN technology uses a new mixing process and low-gauge body plies to reduce the tyre’s weight. This lowers rolling resistance by 4%, which directly translates to extra battery range for EVs or improved fuel efficiency for internal combustion engines.

• ⚖️ Planted Stability:

  The updated tyre shape features optimized ply tension.11 This allows the tyre to deform more flexibly over bumps while maintaining an ideal contact area with the road, providing a “plush” but stable driving feel.

📊 Performance Summary

• Wet Grip: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading safety)

• Ride Comfort: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Smooth and vibration-absorbent)

• Fuel Efficiency: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Optimized Class B rating)

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (One of the quietest in the 18-inch category)

The Bridgestone Turanza 6 is the premier “peace-of-mind” choice for 2026. It is highly recommended for family SUVs that spend a lot of time on the motorway, offering a luxury-tier ride with the highest levels of safety.
