Designed as a high performance summer tire, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 is used as original equipment for select models from Volkswagen, Volvo, BMW, and Lexus vehicles. The Turanza T005 delivers excellent traction and handling in wet or dry weather, with a specialized summer rubber compound, circumferential and lateral grooves to resist hydroplaning, and a stiff shoulder for great cornering. Additionally, select sizes feature Bridgestone's B-Silent design, with a layer of sound-absorbing foam in the subtread for a quiet ride.
