💡 Is the Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT 225/40R18 a Good Tire?
The Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT 225/40R18 is a summer grand touring tire designed for luxury sedans and performance coupes. It delivers strong dry handling and reliable wet traction thanks to its advanced silica compound and asymmetric tread pattern with run-flat technology. Ride comfort is good despite the low-profile sidewall, though road noise is noticeable at highway speeds due to the reinforced RFT construction. Tread life is adequate for its category, though the run-flat design typically reduces longevity compared to conventional tires. Rated Good by TireRack based on 46 consumer surveys, it provides puncture protection for luxury vehicles but is not suitable for winter conditions. Currently priced from $278.17, it is available through major online tire retailers.
