FAQ
Is the Bridgestone Turanza T001 good?
Yes, for drivers who value a soft, quiet ride. Bridgestone developed the T001 for luxury touring, and it is the factory-fitted tire on Mercedes-Benz models and the Mazda 6. Its strengths are comfort, low noise and wet braking.
Is the Turanza T001 quiet?
Yes. Bridgestone designed a 5-degree Noise Reduction Groove with cavities in the tread that trap sound and control its frequency, reducing road noise in the cabin. Actual quietness depends on the road surface and each car.
Does the Turanza T001 come in a run-flat version?
Yes. Subphaisal carries both the standard Turanza T001 and the Turanza T001 RUN FLAT. Run-flat tires only fit cars that support them, meaning cars the manufacturer specifies for run-flat tires and that have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Bridgestone says its run-flat tires can keep going for another 80 km at up to 80 km/h after a puncture.
What cars is the Turanza T001 for?
Premium sedans on 16–18 inch tires that value a soft, quiet ride. In Thailand, the standard version comes in 215/60R16, 225/50R17 and 225/40R18, and the run-flat version in 205/55R17 and 225/50R18. Choose the size shown on the placard on your car's door.
What country is the Turanza T001 from?
It is a Bridgestone tire, a Japanese brand founded in 1931 in Kurume and headquartered in Tokyo. The T001 is original equipment on some European and Japanese cars. The country of manufacture of each tire is shown on the sidewall.
