Bridgestone Turanza T005 Alternatives
Hi Forum,
In need of some tyre advice, I have a Mazda 3 with factory fitted Turanza 215 / 45 R18 89W (T005). Have found the 18" rims a little harsher than say my previous car on 16" wheels and was wondering if there are any alternative 18" brands I should consider which would offer a more cushioned drive, or would it be better just sticking with the ones I have on the basis they are already "best in class"? Thanks for your advice and feedback
Regards
Mark

From memory you would need to go to say 215/50/18.
The side wall would be 107.5mm from 101.5mm.
A little softer, Speedo would be a little out.
