The following comparison distils independent test results and lab data for the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 and the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive. Both are marketed as all‑season tyres, but test outcomes and performance profiles differ sharply. Neither model has been replaced by a newer generation at the time of testing.
At a glance: the Bridgestone scored 89% in our rating and finished 3rd of 16 in Autobild tests, while the Ceat managed only 45% and placed 15th. These headline numbers reflect consistent gaps across wet, dry and winter-relevant checks.
Summary of test data
Across Autobild test editions (2023, 2025 and combined comparisons) the Turanza All Season 6 is repeatedly praised for short wet and dry braking distances, agile handling and strong aquaplaning reserves — traits that underpin its top‑three finish. The Ceat 4 SeasonDrive scores positively for long mileage, low rolling noise and an attractive price, but shows clear weaknesses: limited winter traction, weak lateral control on snow and longer wet braking distances, which explain its low placement.
Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 — strengths & weaknesses
- Strengths: Excellent dry handling and braking; strong wet performance (short wet braking and good aquaplaning resistance); balanced, secure on mixed conditions. These traits produce consistent podium results in independent tests.
- Weaknesses: Higher price point is repeatedly noted by testers as a trade‑off for performance.
- Verdict: The Turanza is an all‑season that performs like a premium summer-capable tyre with added wet safety. It is best for drivers prioritising safety and dynamic handling year‑round.
- Manufacturer: Bridgestone
Ceat 4 SeasonDrive — strengths & weaknesses
- Strengths: Good kilometrage (wear), quiet rolling, and a competitive price — attractive for budget‑conscious buyers focused on mileage and comfort.
- Weaknesses: Noticeable compromises in winter performance (poor snow lateral grip) and extended wet braking distances; these factors drive down safety margins in adverse conditions and produce low test rankings.
- Verdict: The 4 SeasonDrive is a value option for mild climates and drivers who prioritise cost and tread life over top wet/winter safety.
- Manufacturer: Ceat
Head‑to‑head conclusion
When comparing mutual test positions and overall scores, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is clearly superior. It delivers stronger wet and dry control, better aquaplaning resistance and far better braking performance — key factors for a safe all‑season tyre. The Ceat 4 SeasonDrive only stands out on price, noise and mileage; however, its compromised wet and winter behaviour make it a less suitable choice for areas with frequent rain or snowfall.
Recommendation: choose the Turanza for best overall safety and handling; choose the Ceat only if budget and tread life are your highest priorities and you accept reduced wet/winter performance.
