Bridgestone Turanza 6 any good?
Been using Pilot Sport 4's for ages, no complaints either, but apparently don't have them stocked at the moment, plus they are bloody expensive.
Kinda fancy a change anyway.
Can't speak about the 6 from experience, but I've used the Turanza t005 extensively which are an older variant of the tyre.
+Assured feeling in the wet with good control and excellent wet braking performance.
+Low rolling resistance = good economy.
+Handle cold temperatures well - no significant change in performance until you pretty much get to 0-1C.
-Quiet but they make a low frequency droning kind of noise which can get annoying on long journeys (supposedly one of the things they improved on the 6).
-Definitely not a snow tyre, average on ice.
-In very warm dry weather they can feel a bit vague and lumpy (we only get like 2 days a year that qualify anyhow) - not sure if this is the same on the 6 or not.
-I had crazy cracking between the tread blocks start appearing premature on more than one set (supposedly one of the things they improved on the 6) - though I am/have put them through a lot of miles on fairly heavy, high centre of mavity vehicles which have plenty of torque on tap, on not the best roads.
(I currently have the Bridgestone AS6 on my Qashqai but I've mixed feelings about those, but they probably don't share much with the 6).
