Did my research for 3 weeks on tires and bought a set of these I am happy with the grip and minimal noise and the fact the Bridgestone people did me right on prorated tires, great product

This is the OEM tire on my brand new 2021 Honda Odyssey EX-L. We just took the van to the snowy mountains and ski resorts. It performed very well on snow and one of the first things we noticed when we got the vehicle is that it is a very comfortable and quite van!

I purchased a set of these not long ago right after I bought my car because the Factory Ecopia was just not cutting it for me. These are awesome and super quiet! How does Bridgestone Designate a plus status for a tire? Let say they upgrade the tires wet traction and call it the Turanza Quiet Track +. I know the Reason behind why pirelli uses the Plus badging but how does Bridgestone market a Plus tire.

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

Great tires. No complaints.

[@javik8756]

Great tires so far. The wet traction is so so and I would definitely prefer something that grips a lot better in the wet that's just as quiet. I would buy them again but they just went up in price so I think I'll look for something else next time. Pure contact LS and Cinturato P7 as plus II are my picks for next set of wheels.

[@tirerack]

We appreciate you sharing your experience with us!

[@RyanONeill86]

How did you like them for wet conditions as time went on? I am deciding between these or the weatherpeak for my FWD toyota rav4 limited 4 cyl

[@gregslabaugh7565]

Hi There! Do these come with rim protection molded in? All sizes? Thank you!

[@pinnacleren4389]

Any feedback on how fuel efficient they are? Notice a dip in fuel economy? Thank you.

[@michaelcjohnsonmj]

I have been looking at tires and narrowed it down to 2 brands for my 2005 Lexus LS430. The Yokohama Avid Ascend GT and Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack. I live in Houston I see no snow but plenty of rain/flooded areas and hot summers what do you recommend between the these?

[@tirerack]

Thank you for reaching out! The Yokohama Avid Ascend GT and Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack are excellent tires. However, based on your preferences we recommend the Yokohama Avid Ascend GT. During our tire testing, the Avid Ascend GT was dominant in our wet testing, with objective stats that are head and shoulders above the rest of the group. In addition, it is easy to drive, with good reserve grip and steady behavior. Take a look at our full test report for more information:bit.ly/32dpvW4. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Do the alenza ultra as with quiet track

[@andrekleyn727]

Living in South Africa where we only have All Season tires and no snow, will this specific Bridgestone Touring tire give you good milage especially if you're a relaxing driver? My current tires are Kumho HS51 tires which have siping groves in them and I must say, after two years they're showing no wear on the tread at all.

[@tirerack]

Great question! Unfortunately, we cannot provide the exact number of miles you can expect out of this tire due to the differences in individual driving habits. However, this tire has received ratings of 9.3/10 for treadwear performance, which is excellent.

I just got these installed yesterday. I did not find it not quite quiet

[@mbburg2149]

Trying a set of these on my Lexus ES300h. Picked this tire due to all of the great reviews. Replacing Toyo Versados which I got 40k out of. Will report back with my findings.

[@mbburg2149]

Put on a set and they are fantastic My fifth set of Bridgrstones. Prior have used the Driveguard (50k miles), Simplicy (40k) and the dealer installed Bridgestones. I thought the Toyo were great and I did get (40k) out of them. But the Quiet Track are the best so far. Great wet and dry traction, smooth ride, and great cornering ability. They are very quiet on the freeway. I drive long commutes and no longer have the turn up the radio to drown out road noise. I put them on a Hybrid and I am currently running my mileage numbers with varying air pressures. I started at 36psi, now up to 40psi. And my fuel economy keeps increasing. Max pressure is 52psi. I'm averaging 40 to 42 mpg at 40psi. I worked in the tire industry way back. Road tested many vehicles and tire brands. The ride quality is similar to many Michelin tires that I test drove. Be that on a road test or many ride and drives that I attended. It is not an inexpensive tire but I am very pleased with the purchase. I am religious about tire pressure and routine tire rotations.

[@tgamirov]

@@mbburg2149 thanks for the detailed response. What do you think about cross-rotation of these? The pattern doesn’t not look totally symmetrical. I’m planning to cross them regardless, fwd pattern.

[@mbburg2149]

@@tgamirov Well I worked fot one dealer that just mandated straight rotations. Another mandated cross rotations. But this was done due to uneven tire wear. I have been doing straight rotations for 15 years. Get 40k to 50k miles (Toyota/Lexus sedans). This is with 5000 mile rotations, regular air checks, and reg alignment checks.

[@mbburg2149]

I guess after all those years in the shops. Replacing tires and selling tires with premature wear due to lack of maintenance. IE rotations/pressure/alignment it had an affect. I'm pretty diligent with my oil changes. Started back when I was into OHV motorcycles and ATVs. Japanese and Italian motorcycles. Always used synthetic oil and K&N filters. Still do to this day. Change it every 3000 to 5000 miles. Batteries every 4 years whether it needs it or not.

Notice any loss in your mpg?

[@abashashraf8440]

@@ELP1125 honestly little bit because I got more better pulls compared to the other tires I had. At the end of the day it depends where you live and how you drive...

[@mrc79]

I’m torn between this tire and the Michelin Defenders T+H. The ecopias from Bridgestone had terrible wear , much lower than their rating for my Prius. The Costco tire techs agreed. In fact they told me to stay away from bridge stone and stick with Michelin. Your thoughts between the two? I care most about treadwear and a quiet drive.

[@tirerack]

The Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack is a top-rated tire with excellent reviews.

[@ronaldavis6018]

Bought these tires in late September 2020 and 1.5 years later I'm not so enthusiastic about these tires. For the 1st 15k miles they were very quiet, had excellent wet weather traction, and handled great in all weather conditions. Now that they have 25k miles on them the traction has become an issue in wet weather or snowy conditions. These tires come with 80k warranty and with approx 30% of that put on my tires they look as if nearly 50% of the tread depth has worn away. I can't imagine these tires getting anywhere close to 80k miles. That's with a car that has had the entire suspension and steering replaced with premium parts just days before purchasing the tires. Check pressure regularly, keep them balanced and rotated more frequently than necessary but the tread depth has worn away much faster than it should. All 4 tires have even wear across the face and there is no evidence of premature tire wear. Other than me believing the tires will not last 80k as advertised, they are simply amazing, well at least for the first 15-20k miles.

[@tirerack]

We're sorry to hear these tires didn't live up to your expectations! Next time you're in need of a new set, please reach out. We'd be happy to help you find another option that may better suit your needs.

[@EXCELSIOR_INC]

Will Robbins Bridgestone dude is correct, having the tread depth throughout the life of the tire 80,000 is very important for wet braking Compared to new tires there is only 7 feet difference in the wet and same dry braking compared to the best, driver error and reaction time would vary more than this Now look at the braking distance when other tires wear down to 4/32 and 2/32 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHKZfoiii7Oegq8

[@williamjoens4865]

I am very disappointed in the QuietTrack, which I purchase on April 7, 2021. On the freeway, when the pavement has grooves, the car moves around as if the wind is blowing it around. Sometimes it is so extreme that my passenger feels it. It doesn't happen on smooth pavement. Also, it is loud, not at all quiet when the pavement is not perfectly smooth. I took my car back to the Firestone dealer where I bought them and they took it for a test drive.The technician did not find any problem. At that time I had not realized that it was only when the freeway pavement was grooved. So, I took it to the Toyota dealer, where I bought my 2018 Camry, and their technician did not encounter any wobbling.They did some minor adjustment on the steering but it didn't take care of the problem. I am not sure where to go now. Maybe a different Firestone dealer. I hate to keep driving around until I find someone to identify the problem. I am sure that it is the tires because since 2017 I have not experienced the same problem with the original Turanza tires that came with the car. They weren't QuietTrack though. And, I have never had this kind of tire problem before.
