Bridgestone 12101 Turanza T005 225/50R18 99W XL Summer Touring Passenger Tire

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 225/50R18 99W XL is a high-performance summer touring tire engineered to meet demanding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. Designed for passenger vehicles, it delivers confident, precise performance in both wet and dry conditions while providing the quiet, comfortable ride that luxury and sport vehicles demand.

Built around an asymmetric tread design and advanced summer compound, the Turanza T005 maximizes road contact and adhesion across the tire's footprint. Circumferential and lateral grooves channel water away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning and maintain grip on wet surfaces.
