The Turanza 6 is quite a new addition to Bridgestone’s lineup, being introduced in 2023. Featuring the new ENLITEN technology, it should be lighter and have positive effect on fuel efficiency. In the tests, the efficiency is confirmed alongside with higher mileage. That being said, it somehow lacks the performance of other premium tyres, so we would recommend it only when the price is lower.

Ventus Prime 4 Is our favorite every day tyre, as it offers premium safety at an affordable price. Short braking distances, good handling, but slightly worse at aquaplaning and comfort.

The P Zero range is with us for a long time, also being a favorite choice for car manufacturers as first equipment. It’s a good, well balanced and enjoyable tyre. It tends to get quite a few mid-life updates so make sure you get the latest one.

235/65 R18 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 15 tyre models available, which can be compared to 195/70 R15, 195/45 R15, 205/50 R16.

The total circumference of the tyre is 2396.09 mm, which is very similar to 255/50 R20(2397.04 mm), 255/55 R19(2397.35 mm), 255/60 R18(2397.66 mm), 255/65 R17(2397.98 mm), 255/70 R16(2398.29 mm), 285/45 R20(2401.75 mm), 235/55 R20(2408.03 mm).
