In this article, we will be comparing two high-performing tyres: Bridgestone Turanza 6, produced by Bridgestone, and Uniroyal RainSport 5, a product of Uniroyal. These summer tyres have been put to the test in a series of rigorous examinations, with each showing its unique strengths.


The Bridgestone Turanza 6 earned an impressive 87% rating from us, standing out for its comfort and low rolling resistance. It consistently held a respectable 16th place out of 50 tyres in Autobild's comparison. One striking feature of the Turanza 6 is its balanced ride characteristics, showcasing secure handling in both wet and dry conditions. Plus, it offers short braking distances and an excellent overall mileage - elements crucial for safety and long-term usability. However, the tyre displayed average economic efficiency in the Autobild 2023 test.


On the other hand, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 focuses primarily on cater to users who drive in wet conditions. This tyre performs exceptionally well when it comes to aquaplaning, both longitudinally and crosswise. It earned a rating of 72% from us, and it managed a close 17th place finish, right behind the Bridgestone Turanza 6 in Autobild's comparison. Its shortcomings, as pointed out by Autobild 2024, include a slightly mushy driving feel and restricted lateral guidance on dry surfaces.
