Bridgestone Turanza EL42
The Bottom Line
The Turanza EL42 is best for drivers prioritizing comfort and dry handling, with a reasonable 50,000-mile warranty. However, its wet grip is lacking, making it less suitable for areas with frequent rainfall.
Important Note
Wet grip is subpar, which could be a concern for drivers in rainy climates or those prioritizing wet-road safety.
Pros

- 50,000-mile treadwear warranty aligns with expectations for grand touring all-season tires, offering decent longevity.
- Dry grip and handling both score 8.5, providing reliable performance in clear conditions.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is below what you'd expect from a tire in this category, potentially compromising safety in rainy conditions.
- Lacks UTQG ratings, which could make it harder for buyers to assess performance benchmarks.
- The Michelin MXV3-A offers better wet performance, making it a more reliable choice for those frequently driving in wet conditions.
