Comparison: Bridgestone Turanza T001 vs. Dunlop Sport BluResponse

Let's take a comprehensive look at two summer tyres available on the market: the Bridgestone Turanza T001 and the Dunlop Sport BluResponse. Both tyres manufactured by renowned companies Bridgestone and Dunlop, have been put through rigorous testing by various organizations such as ADAC, Autoklub ČR, Autobild and Autoexpress to help you make an informed decision on which tyre suits your needs best.

The Dunlop Sport BluResponse stands out in summer tyre tests, consistently placing in the top three. One of its best features is its excellent safety measures and its performance in wet braking. In ADAC's test, it successfully secured the third position out of 16 tyres. Autoklub ČR and Autoexpress were particularly impressed with this tyre, placing it second in their respective tests.

On the other hand, the Bridgestone Turanza T001 while demonstrating commendable wet braking capabilities, had inconsistent results in test positions, ranging from fourth out of eight in Autoklub ČR's test to twelfth out of 16 in the ADAC test. In all tests, however, it never overcame its competitor, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse.

It's vital to point out that our own rating system gave the Dunlop Sport BluResponse a high score of 71%, while we weren't able to evaluate the Bridgestone Turanza T001 in the same manner. This grounds the conclusion that the Dunlop Sport BluResponse displays a sturdy edge when it comes to testing performance, affirming its agile handling and safety in wet conditions, resulting in an overall standing superior to the Bridgestone Turanza T001.

However, the Bridgestone Turanza T001 still offers valuable performance features, and its wet braking capabilities should not be overlooked. While it might not have secured top positions in test results, it still stands as a solid option among other summer tyres and from a reputable manufacturer, though it may not match the all-round performance depth of the Dunlop Sport BluResponse. It's also important to check whether any of these models have been replaced by newer ones before making a purchase.
