About Bridgestone 225\45 R18  95Y Turanza T005 MOE   2024

Tyre Size and Vehicle Fitment

The 225/45R18 specification features a 225 mm nominal section width, 45-series profile and 18-inch rim diameter. This exact version carries a 95Y service description and MOE/MOExtended Mercedes-Benz original-equipment specification. Bridgestone identifies the fitment for selected Mercedes-Benz applications, including the C-Class.

Load and Speed Rating

The 95 load index corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 690 kg per tyre. The Y speed rating permits speeds of up to 300 km/h when the tyre is operated within the correct load, inflation pressure and vehicle manufacturer's requirements.

Run-Flat and MOExtended Technology

The MOE designation identifies Bridgestone's Mercedes-Benz Original Equipment Extended specification. The tyre uses MOExtended run-flat technology, allowing the vehicle to remain operational for a limited distance after a loss of inflation pressure, subject to the manufacturer's operating conditions and restrictions. This technology is designed to provide additional mobility following a puncture rather than replacing the need for prompt tyre inspection and repair or replacement.

Wet-Road Performance

Wet-road performance is one of the main strengths of the Turanza T005. Bridgestone uses a high-silica compound, NanoPro-Tech™ technology, high-volume shoulder slots and an optimised centre-void distribution to support water evacuation, wet grip and braking performance.

Dry-Road Grip and Handling

The Turanza T005 is designed to provide confident dry-road handling and responsive cornering. Its enhanced carcass construction supports precise handling, while shoulder block connectors help reduce deformation during braking and cornering.

Rolling Resistance and Efficiency

The enhanced carcass construction is designed to combine handling performance with controlled rolling resistance. The exact 225/45R18 95Y MOE specification is listed with a B fuel-efficiency rating in Bridgestone's European product data.

Comfort and Road Noise

Although this is a performance-capable touring tyre, the Turanza T005 is engineered to maintain a refined road experience. Its tread design and construction are intended to control pattern noise and vibration while providing stable highway behaviour.

Seasonal Use

The Turanza T005 MOE is a summer passenger-car tyre. It is intended for warm-weather road conditions and is not a dedicated winter tyre.

Production Year

This product is listed as a 2024 tyre. The exact manufacturing date should be confirmed from the DOT/date code printed on the tyre sidewall.

Who Should Consider the Bridgestone Turanza T005 MOE?

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 225/45R18 95Y MOE is suited to Mercedes-Benz drivers who require the correct MOExtended original-equipment specification and want a combination of strong wet performance, high-speed capability, stable handling, touring comfort and run-flat mobility.
