Key Features & Sidewall Markings Explained
- ENLITEN Technology: A proprietary suite of advanced compounds and materials used in the Turanza 6 range to reduce rolling resistance (enhancing EV range and MPG), improve wear life, and enhance overall sustainability.
- EV-Ready: All Turanza 6 tyres are developed to handle the specific demands of electric vehicles—instant torque, heavy batteries, and noise reduction—while being fully compatible with combustion engines.
- EU Grade A Wet Braking: The highest possible safety rating for wet grip performance, crucial for Irish weather conditions.
- XL (Extra Load): Indicates a reinforced sidewall and carcass construction to safely support the increased weight of SUVs and CUVs.
- RFT (Run-Flat Technology) / DriveGuard: Sidewalls are structurally reinforced to allow driving for a limited distance (approx. 80km at 80km/h) after a complete loss of air pressure.
- B-SI (B-Seal): Bridgestone's self-sealing technology, featuring an internal viscous layer that instantly seals small tread punctures.
- *OE Markings (AO, MO, , etc.): These symbols confirm the tyre is "Original Equipment" approved, meaning it was developed in partnership with vehicle manufacturers like Audi (AO), Mercedes (MO), and BMW (*) to perfectly match their handling dynamics.
Popular 22" SUV, CUV & 4x4 Fitments
- BMW X5/X6: (Staggered fitments, e.g., 275/35 R22 front, 315/30 R22 rear) Often utilizing the (*) marked variants to match BMW M performance requirements.
- Audi Q7/Q8: (285/30 R22 or 285/45 R22) The Turanza 6 provides exceptional handling and stability for Audi's large premium SUVs.
- Range Rover & Land Rover Defender: (285/45 R22) The XL rating is essential for these heavy luxury 4x4s, offering car-like braking performance in urban environments.
- Tesla Model X: (255/35 R22 front / 285/30 R22 rear) Leverages ENLITEN technology and EV-Ready design to maximize range and manage the EV's extreme power and weight.
Summer tyres are most common in Ireland, offering peak fuel efficiency mileage and grip when temperatures stay above 7°C. However, they are not the official standard for winter safety. Motorists must show caution in cold conditions; below 7°C, summer rubber hardens, significantly compromising grip and wet braking performance on cold, saturated Irish roads.
All-Season tyres are the superior "fit-and-forget" solution for Ireland's wet, temperate climate. Specifically engineered to remain flexible in the cold, they provide shorter stopping distances on near-freezing, rain-soaked surfaces and carry the 3PMSF certification for frost and light snow. They offer total year-round peace of mind without the hassle of seasonal swaps.
Load Rating: Maximum Weight Capacity Explained
The load index is a numerical code representing the maximum weight in kgs that a single tyre can safely carry. To ensure safety, the combined capacity of all four tyres must exceed the vehicle’s total weight when fully loaded.
Speed Rating: Maximum Velocity Explained
Represented by a letter, the speed rating indicates the maximum kph a tyre can maintain over a prolonged period. Higher speed ratings are engineered to handle the heat and stresses generated at faster speeds more effectively.
Quick Reference Guide
- Check your requirements: You can find the specific requirements for your vehicle on the tyre information plate (usually located on the driver-side door pillar) or in the owner's manual.
- Replacement rule: It is vital never to fit a tyre with a lower load index or speed rating than those recommended by the manufacturer.
- Common Ratings: Standard ratings include T (190 kph), H (210 kph), and V (240 kph). You can view a full conversion table below..
In 2026, the Bridgestone Turanza 6 range in the Irish market extends to 22 inches for high-performance SUVs and CUVs, offering top-tier safety (EU Grade A wet braking) and incorporating advanced ENLITEN technology across all sizes to maximize efficiency.
