When it comes to choosing tyres for your vehicle, you want to ensure that you're making the right decision. In this comparison, we'll be looking at the Bridgestone Turanza T005 and the Uniroyal RainSport 5 summer tyres. Both tyres have been tested extensively by various organizations, and we'll be summarizing the strengths and weaknesses observed in mutual tests.
Let's start with the Bridgestone Turanza T005, a touring summer tyre from Bridgestone, boasting an impressive 89% rating from us. Manufactured in France, Hungary, Italy, and Poland, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 has consistently performed well in tests. In the Autoklub čR test, it earned the 3rd position out of 19 tyres, with highlights including low rolling resistance and excellent wet circle cornering. Similarly, the tyre secured 3rd place in the ADAC test, out of 15 tyres. In the Autobild test, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 ranked 7th out of 53 tyres, showcasing strong performance in dry braking, wet braking, wet circle cornering, wet handling, and low rolling resistance.
On the other hand, we have the Uniroyal RainSport 5, a summer tyre from Uniroyal with a 77% rating. In the Autoklub čR test, the RainSport 5 secured the 5th position, excelling in longitudinal aquaplaning. However, it landed at a lower 13th position in the ADAC test, with strengths in cross aquaplaning, noise, and exterior noise. Lastly, the tyre ranked 19th in Autobild's test, featuring strong performance in cross and longitudinal aquaplaning.
In summary, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 stands out for its balanced performance on both dry and wet surfaces, good environmental impact, efficiency, and precise handling. Its only drawback is a somewhat limited mileage. Meanwhile, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 shines in wet conditions, particularly in aquaplaning resistance, but falls short in overall balance, performance on dry roads, environmental impact, sustainability, mileage, and fuel consumption.
Based on the test results, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 appears to be the better choice overall. While the Uniroyal RainSport 5 can deliver good performance in wet conditions, its weaknesses in other aspects may make it a less attractive option for drivers seeking a well-rounded summer tyre.
