Bridgestone Turanza Eco 255/40 R20 101H XL (+)

The Bridgestone Turanza Eco is a tire designed for eco-efficient driving. It is suitable for both small and mid-sized sedans, offering excellent performance in terms of fuel efficiency, durability, and wet grip.

This tire features a special tread compound that reduces rolling resistance, thereby lowering fuel consumption. At the same time, it offers high durability due to its optimized tread depth and shape.

The asymmetric tread design of the Bridgestone Turanza Eco enhances traction on wet roads and reduces the risk of hydroplaning. The design of the tread blocks and sipes also provides excellent stability and steering precision on dry roads.

Overall, the Bridgestone Turanza Eco is aimed at environmentally conscious drivers who seek high performance in fuel efficiency and safety, without compromising on durability.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.

Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

These are the B-Silent Model and they were 235/55 R19 105Y but this system will not let me specify 55 height. These tyres are absolutely brilliant! I fitted them on the rear and they stopped the road noise from the rear completely. I just wish I had not fitted something different to the front previously, as soon as the fronts wear out I will change to these. I have had no problem with grip, despite racing others around roundabouts.

Excellent in the wet, no hydroplaning or wheeljerk when driving into puddles at speed. This is my second set of this tyre for this reason.

The tyre is with overall good performance. On wet is losing grip in the corners, however braking in wet conditions is solid

I'm sorry to say that the tires don't hold up. They always tend to slip.
