Our take

The Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 RFT is a solid choice for drivers who value comfort and quietness in their daily drives. With both comfort and noise scores at 8, it matches the category benchmarks, ensuring a pleasant driving experience. Its wet grip score of 7.5 surpasses the category average, making it a reliable option for wet conditions.

However, the tire's treadlife score of 5 is a notable downside, falling short of the category average and lacking a treadwear warranty. This could mean more frequent replacements, which might not appeal to those seeking long-term value. In comparison, competitors like the Continental ProContact TX and BFGoodrich Advantage Control offer better treadwear warranties, providing more assurance for longevity.

Overall, if comfort and wet grip are your main priorities, the Turanza EL400-02 RFT delivers. But if you're looking for a tire that promises longer tread life and comes with a warranty, you might want to consider alternatives like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores both hit 8, aligning with the category benchmarks, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride.
  • Wet grip score of 7.5 exceeds the category average of 6.9, offering reliable performance in rainy conditions.
  • Handling score of 7.5 matches the dry grip, providing balanced performance across various driving situations.

Cons

  • No treadwear warranty and a lower treadlife score could lead to more frequent replacements, impacting cost-effectiveness.
  • Treadlife score of 5 is below the category average, indicating a shorter lifespan compared to competitors like the Continental ProContact TX.
  • No treadwear warranty is offered, which could be a concern for budget-conscious buyers looking for long-term value.
  • The BFGoodrich Advantage Control offers a higher treadwear warranty, making it a potentially better choice for those prioritizing longevity.
