Bridgestone Turanza EL440

The Bridgestone Turanza EL440 is a solid choice for drivers who value comfort and quietness in a grand touring all-season tire. Its comfort and noise scores both meet the category averages, ensuring a pleasant ride. Wet grip is a slight standout, with a 7.5 rating that edges out the category average, making it a reliable option in wet conditions. However, the tire's treadwear warranty of 50,000 miles and a UTQG treadwear rating of 480 are below the category averages, which are 62,053 miles and 574, respectively. This suggests that while the Turanza EL440 offers a comfortable ride, it may require more frequent replacements than some competitors, such as the General AltiMAX RT45, which could be more cost-effective over time. For those prioritizing speed, the R speed rating may not meet expectations compared to other options in the segment. If you drive high mileage annually or prioritize a longer tread life, you might want to consider alternatives like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control or Vredestein Quatrac Pro+.
