TURANZA T005

<p>Over the 82.5K kilometres i have driven on them they have left a really good impression! Wear is uniform, wet grip is really nice, handling while overinflated is predictable and there is amazing steering feel, feedback when you are on the verge of losing grip is strong and gives you room to adjust, they are extremely fuel efficient and during the first 60K kilometres they were babied and had 6.5 millimeters left. There were a lot of aggressive pulls and a lot of spirited driving since that. Fuel economy is good, now at 3.5 or so millimeters all round they are still very good in heavy rain, and although I refuse to push it hard in the rain there is still really good feel even if there is slight or less slight understeer it still leaves you room to adjust and is a very feely tire to the point where it almost automatically finds it's sweet spot for grip for the speed you are traveling at. Replacing early due to high amounts of rain in Denmark and don't want to risk aquaplaining. Next tires are Nexen N'fera Primus</p>

<p>I'm only here to complain about noise level and comfort. After only 3.5 years manufactured date and 10000 miles (miles are low because this is like 3rd car for my family), it become intolerable to drive, too much noise in cabin that I can barely talk with another passenger and can feel every surface. I already checked tire pressure and it's already exactly the same as they recommend so I decided to get another tyre from different brand. Dry/wet braking and handling still great. Comfortability was decent at 3 years ago but got worse way too fast.</p>

During these last kilometers I've driven, the feeling of safety and confidence is very high, both in dry and wet conditions. The wear is really good; estimating what has worn down so far, I believe I can reach about 50,000 kilometers with these tires.

The tires work really well when they're new, but as they wear down, they get exponentially worse, especially in wet conditions (they're scary). The noise levels are low and the consumption is also low; in this regard, they are among the best on the market. The lifespan will be between 55,000 and 60,000 km. If they didn't lose so much grip as the kilometers go by, I would buy them again, but they seem dangerous towards the end of their useful life.

<p>100% reccommend this tyre for r14 and r15 sizes, where newer tyres simply are not avalabile, i believe this is the best choice outside some other models that have limited sizes in r14 and r15. after 5 years, some spirited miles, and most normal miles. i can with confidence say, these are long lasting tyres, that even after 5 years do not lose predictability, still a very safe tyre to drive. wet grip has diminished a smidge this year, dry grip is still great. i still have 4mm left on all 4 tyres, but i have decided to replace them with premiumcontact 6 on my golf 7, as i got a very good deal. you will not regret this tyre, please spend the 10 eur per tyre extra instead of buying some budget, the difference is night and day. on the attached image you can see the tyre after 5 years, the tread on the edge is from agressive driving, dry rot has begun, but it is not bad yet, i think these tyres would last 6 years before grip would diminish too far.</p>
