Both produced by reputable manufacturers, Pirelli and Bridgestone, each of these tyres presents distinct strengths and weaknesses.


The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2, rated at 92% by our website, is an evolved version of the previous model Pirelli P7 Cinturato. Impressively, it secured the second position in Autobild's test out of 53 tyres, with its performance in wet braking particularly highlighted. For those prioritizing wet handling, this tyre proves to be a strong contender. However, there are some areas that require improvements, such as wet traction and fuel efficiency, as noted in the TyreReviews.com 2023's test.


On the other hand, the Bridgestone Turanza T005, scoring 89% in our assessment, stood out in tests for its rolling resistance and dry braking. Noteworthy is its strong performance on both dry and wet roads, earning it the fourth spot in tests conducted by ADAC. Its eco-performance is also praiseworthy, ranking highly for low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions according to Autoklub ČR and Tyre Reviews tests. However, it might see slight increased wear over time, as per ADAC 2021's review.

Generally, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 tends to have a more balanced performance while Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 shows its strengths in specific areas of wet driving conditions.


In conclusion, both tyres perform very well in their own ways.
