Bridgestone Turanza ER300 - User reviews

Since January 2005 I've been reading what I could find about different tyre models. ER300 was the leader of many tests. I don't remember what was the reason of purchase (certainly not the price as they weren't cheap), I fitted two to check them out. First few miles were very disappointing - I wanted to fit my Barum Bravuris 2s back! But after about 350 miles they showed their true potential which ensured me I made a good choice. They handle well on both dry and wet. They lead the car where I want, and they're very predictable. No matter of the surface is dry or wet, braking is very good. Rolling resistance is maybe a little higher than on stock Firestones and Bravuris and are a bit lounder because of that, but it's not annoying. When it comes to abrasion, I did about 35 000 miles on them and I'm sure they will do well till the end of this season. I wrote that I'll buy them egain for 95%. I left that 5% in case someone convinced me to get something better.

Very good tyres, braking excellent - summer abs virtually nothing to do. In winter, I have not tested. The tyre allows for a lot more than the standard suspension allows my car (corolla). As for the 16 "and a height of 10cm profile very good comfort. Regretted not buying not for a moment.

Bridgestone Turanza ER300s are exemplary tyres, that's what I can say after using them on both front and rear axles in the summer and once in winter (!). Although the latter was mainly to practice winter driving skills because this is obviously not the season they're designed for. Precise, quiet, comfortable and, what is strange, they do not squeal during quick starts or braking. They are sensational on both dry and wet. They transfer the movements of the steering wheel to front wheels very precisely and allow to sense the surface in a proper way. I always have them inflated to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer of the car - 2.7 bar on the front - rubber compound is really hard but handles fine and rolls very smoothly. It can be sensed that rolling resistance is lower than on 2.2 bar, as well as fuel consumption. I don't have any objections about the quality of the tyres. The ones that I have are made in France.

All like some nice and cheap. The only drawback is the battery life. Two seasons and the tyres do not have

Once caught in the rear wheel rubber due to lack of supply drove 15 km on it, the tyre very well exercised without air, not damaged alloy wheels. Sam lands on the spare tyre :)
