Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 — strengths & weaknesses
- Strengths: Exceptional dry and wet handling, very short wet braking distances, strong longitudinal aquaplaning resistance, and overall balanced comfort — repeatedly praised in Autobild test reports. Consistently ranked 1st in multiple Autobild tests and 3rd in ACE.
- Secondary positives: Dynamic handling in all conditions and very competitive price‑to‑performance in recent test summaries.
- Weaknesses: Slightly higher rolling resistance reported in some tests and a moderate weakness in curve aquaplaning (described as “mäÃßiges Kurvenaquaplaning” in one summary).
Verdict: The Turanza All Season 6 is the better choice when prioritizing braking safety, all‑weather handling and overall driving dynamics. It’s the test winner for drivers who want the most balanced, high‑performance all‑season tyre.
Toyo Celsius AS2 — strengths & weaknesses
- Strengths: Attractive value proposition, low running costs and good mileage, comfort and low exterior noise in some tests, plus acceptable dry braking and decent aquaplaning in isolated notes.
- Secondary positives: Lower rolling resistance and cost-efficiency make it appealing for budget-conscious drivers focused on mileage rather than ultimate wet or winter performance.
- Weaknesses: Consistently weaker in wet braking and winter traction—tests report understeer on snow and wet surfaces, extended wet braking distances and only “satisfactory” winter qualities. Test positions (7th, 9th, 12th) underline these limitations.
Verdict: The Toyo Celsius AS2 is a pragmatic choice for buyers prioritizing cost, fuel economy and comfort at moderate speeds, but it requires accepting compromises in wet stopping and winter handling compared with top‑ranked all‑season tyres.
Which tyre is better overall?
Based on aggregated test positions, objective measurements and our ratings, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is clearly the superior tyre for most drivers who want high safety margins and all‑weather performance. The Toyo Celsius AS2 is best considered a budget/mileage option when price and rolling resistance are the primary concerns, but it trails significantly in wet and winter safety metrics.
Recommendation: Choose Bridgestone for performance and safety; choose Toyo only if lowest cost per kilometre and comfort/noise are your dominant priorities and you accept modest wet/winter capability.
