About Bridgestone Turanza T005A 225/40R18 92Y

The Turanza T005A is designed for drivers who prioritise a comfortable and quiet touring experience while still requiring dependable performance on wet and dry paved roads. The 225/40R18 specification has a 225 mm nominal section width, 40-series profile and 18-inch rim diameter. The 92Y service description indicates a 630 kg maximum load capacity per tyre and a maximum rated speed of 300 km/h. 

Wet-Road Performance

The Turanza T005A is engineered with an optimised contact design intended to maintain consistent pressure between the tyre and road. Bridgestone positions the T005A as a safer touring tyre with improved grip, particularly on wet roads, making it suitable for everyday driving in changing summer weather conditions. 

Wet Braking

The T005A's tread and construction are designed to support controlled braking and stable road contact in wet conditions. Bridgestone highlights wet-road grip as a key characteristic of the pattern, while the optimised contact design helps maintain consistent tyre-to-road contact during braking and cornering. 

Dry-Road Handling

The Turanza T005A is designed to provide stable handling and a controlled steering response on dry paved roads. Its touring-oriented construction makes it suitable for urban driving, motorway use and longer-distance journeys where predictable handling and stability are important. 

Ride Comfort and Noise

Comfort and reduced road noise are central characteristics of the Turanza T005A. Bridgestone describes the model as quieter, safer and smoother, while its optimised contact design is intended to reduce road shock and impact noise. 

Rolling Resistance

The 225/40R18 92Y T005A specification listed in European product data carries a C rating for rolling resistance, B for wet grip and an external rolling noise value of 71 dB with a B noise class. These values apply to the documented 92Y XL AO specification and should not automatically be applied to other 225/40R18 T005A variants. 

Summer Road Use

The Turanza T005A is designed as a summer passenger-car touring tyre. It is intended primarily for paved-road driving in warm-weather conditions, with emphasis on comfort, quietness and predictable wet and dry-road performance rather than severe winter or off-road use. 

Load Capacity

The 92 load index corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 630 kg per tyre under the applicable operating conditions. Vehicle axle-load limits and the manufacturer's recommended inflation pressure must always be followed.

Y Speed Rating

The Y speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 300 km/h under the applicable load and inflation conditions. The vehicle manufacturer's specified speed rating should always take priority. The 225/40R18 92Y service description is documented for the T005A specification.

Bridgestone Turanza T005A 225/40R18 92Y should only be installed on vehicles approved for this exact tyre size and service description.
