Strengths & weaknesses

• Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6
  
  
  
  • Strengths: Excellent dry handling and dry braking, short wet and dry braking distances, strong aquaplaning resistance (longitudinal), agile and safe behaviour in mixed conditions — summarized repeatedly by Autobild as a new all-round talent with high safety reserves on wet roads.
  
  
  • Weaknesses: Higher purchase price compared with budget options; positioned as a premium all-season tyre.
  
  
  
  


• Ceat 4 SeasonDrive
  
  
  
  • Strengths: Good mileage, quiet rolling noise and a very attractive price — a value-oriented all-season choice.
  
  
  • Weaknesses: Limited winter capability with poor lateral guidance on snow and noticeably longer braking distances on wet surfaces. These wet and winter weaknesses negatively affected its test ranking.
  
  
  
  

Summary of performance across tests

Autobild’s textual summaries for the Bridgestone emphasise short wet and dry braking distances, good aquaplaning resistance and strong overall safety margins — consistent with its high test position (3/16) and our 89% score. The Ceat’s summaries repeatedly highlight economy, low noise and long service life but warn of “restricted winter qualities” and “extended braking distances in wet”, explaining its low placement (15/16) and 45% rating.

Verdict — which tyre should you choose?

If you prioritise safety, consistent wet and dry performance and high scores in independent tests, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is the clear recommendation: it outperforms the Ceat in almost every dynamic category and ranks much higher in head-to-head testing. If you are on a tight budget, mostly drive in mild climates and value mileage and low noise above peak wet/ winter performance, the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive is a reasonable value option — but be aware of compromised wet braking and limited winter grip.
