Unmatched Wet Grip and Performance
Experience the pinnacle of driving confidence with the Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT, designed to deliver exceptional wet grip and outstanding EU label ratings. This tire ensures you maintain control even in challenging driving conditions, offering superior braking and cornering capabilities, particularly on rainy days.
Optimized Tread Design for Enhanced Safety
The innovative tread pattern features large shoulder grooves and an optimized cavity distribution in the center, significantly improving water evacuation. The interlocking shoulder blocks provide a stable tread profile, ensuring consistent road contact during braking.
Advanced Casing for Superior Handling
Constructed with a unique blend of steel and robust polyester, the Turanza T005 RFT enhances handling while reducing rolling resistance. This results in lower CO2 emissions and improved fuel efficiency, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
New Tread Compound for Maximum Grip
The tire incorporates an advanced silica distribution using NanoPro-tech™ technology, further refined with a new mixing process. Combined with the new tread design, this maximizes the contact patch adhesion, enhancing grip on wet roads.
Built for Passenger Cars
Specifically designed for passenger vehicles, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT in 225/40 R18 92Y XL * size offers a run-flat feature, ensuring peace of mind and safety even in the event of a puncture. Ideal for those seeking reliability and performance, this tire is your perfect companion for every journey.

The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
