The Turanza EL400-02 and Turanza EL400 w/UNI-T are Bridgestone's Standard Touring All-Season tires developed to meet the Original Equipment and replacement tire needs of drivers for their sporty coupes, sedans and vans. Turanza EL400 tires are designed to provide a luxury appearance, long wear and responsive handling along with dry, wet and year-round traction, even in light snow.
Bridgestone's Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire Technology (UNI-T) features three core elements: CO'CS, a Computer Optimized Component System which allows design and manufacturing processes to work more cooperatively, leading to a more effective tire that doesn't significantly sacrifice one area of performance for improvements in another; O-Bead, a rounder bead structure that minimizes overlapped joints in the bead area for improved ride; and L.L. Carbon (Long Link Carbon) which helps the rubber compound resist microscopic tread tearing related to wear.
On the outside, Turanza EL400 tires features their tread rubber compound molded into a symmetric tread design with straight circumferential grooves to balance dry and wet road traction with noise comfort and hydroplaning resistance. On the inside, the Turanza EL400 features twin steel belts for strength and stability with a polyester cord body to enhance ride comfort.
*Specific sizes featuring UNI-T technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's Specs tab.
Los neumáticos Turanza EL400 y Turanza EL400-02 de Bridgestone pertenecen al grupo Turismo Estándar Para Toda Estación y han sido desarrollados para cumplir con las necesidades de conductores de autos deportivos cupé, sedán y vans en cuanto a Equipo Original y neumáticos de reemplazo. Los neumáticos Turanza EL400, han sido diseñados para proveer una apariencia lujosa, características sobresalientes de desgaste y mayor maniobrabilidad; sin hacer concesiones en tracción sobre superficies secas y mojadas, durante todas las estaciones, inclusive en superficies cubiertas con poca nieve durante el invierno.
La tecnología UNI-T de Bridgestone consiste de tres tecnologías fundamentales: CO'CS (Computer Optimized Component System) ) es un proceso computarizado que optimiza el diseño de bandas de rodamiento, la forma de la carcasa, los materiales y la construcción para lograr el máximo rendimiento del neumático; O-Bead elimina la unión traslapada en el cable del talón o alambre de aro, utilizando un cable único y continuo. Esto crea un neumático más redondo, lo cual mejora el andar; Long Link Carbon (Carbón de cadena larga) es un material de refuerzo mejorado que aumenta la resistencia al desgaste y disminuye la pérdida de energía del caucho.
La construcción externa del Turanza EL400, presenta una mezcla de caucho moldeada en una banda de rodadura con diseño simétrico. Canales circunferenciales rectos encuentran el balance entre tracción sobre superficies secas y mojadas, niveles de ruido más bajos y resistencia al deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning).
Internamente, correas gemelas de acero proveen fortaleza y estabilidad, mientras que, una capa de cordón de poliéster aumenta el confort del andar.
*Tamaños específicos que cuentan con la tecnología UNI-T son identificados, como tales, en las páginas de Tamaños y Especificaciones.

Tire Rack Test Results Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02
Why Gamble With Winter Tire Selection When Four of a Kind Always Beats Two Pair?(01:56)
Some drivers still doubt the industry's requirement for equipping front-wheel drive vehicles with matching winter tires all the way around. To address those doubts and demonstrate what can happen when mixed tires reach their limits on hard-packed snow and ice, we did some tests at our local skating rink.
Ratings show mixed results for this all-season touring tire. Dry traction receives positive feedback, with many scores in the 7-8 range, though some report inconsistent grip. Treadwear raises notable concerns, with frequent 0-3 scores suggesting premature wear. Comfort also underperforms, with noise and ride harshness frequently criticized. Winter traction struggles in snow and ice, with many ratings below 5. Wet traction shows variability, with hydroplaning resistance often scoring 4-6. While the tire handles basic dry conditions adequately, its weaknesses in durability, comfort, and seasonal versatility make it less compelling for drivers prioritizing year-round reliability in a touring all-season tire.

...Poor traction in wet weather, and you can forget about snow...
These tires came standard on my 2017 Toyota Camry when bought new several years ago. At only 47,000 miles, they are in need of replacement. They have been very noisy especially when turning since at least 20,000 miles. Poor traction in wet weather, and you can forget about snow. Dealer said to replace at the 40,000 mile service as the treadwear was so low. Based on other reviews, it's definitely not just me with these problems. I take good care of my vehicle and tires, getting service done with rotations every 5k miles. I will be replacing these for better tires soon. Avoid at all costs!

Winter traction receives concerning scores (0-5 dominate), with customers reporting slippery in snow, getting stuck, and lack of ice grip. While some rate 7-9, performance is unacceptable for an all-season tire's intended winter use.

These are by far the worst tires when it comes to snow. I have no idea why VW or Toyota would ever put these on any of their cars... These tires have roughly 12,000 miles on them and are downright dangerous in snow, the 1.8 Turbo in the Jetta easily sets off the traction control in the rain even if you are going very easy on the peddle from a stop...
These are by far the worst tires when it comes to snow. I have no idea why VW or Toyota would ever put these on any of their cars. These tires have roughly 12,000 miles on them and are downright dangerous in snow, the 1.8 Turbo in the Jetta easily sets off the traction control in the rain even if you are going very easy on the peddle from a stop. I had a 500HP Mustang that was better in the snow, these tires are downright scary in any amount of snow at the 35PSI that VW recommends. Last winter I ran them at 30 PSI and they were slightly better but I mostly drive my Jeep in the winter. Do not even consider buying these tires, at 12,000 miles I have to replace them. The Yokohamas on my Mustang were pretty good until about 30,000 miles in the snow but I really cannot express how bad these tires are in any amount of snow. If you live where it snows get rid of these tires ASAP before winter if you buy your car and do not lease a car that comes with these tires like a Camry. You WILL crash.

The Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 shows mixed comfort results, with a concerning number of low scores (0-5) for harsh ride and unbearable road noise. While some rate it 9-10, dissatisfied customers highlight jarring bumps, loud cabin intrusion, and poor ride quality.

These tires came on my 2014 Camry SE and I have been disappointed with the rough ride and noise level of these tires since day one. At first I thought it may be due to the car being an SE or because I lived in Michigan and how bad the roads were. I had owed a 97 Camry prior to this one and remember how smooth and quiet it was...
These tires came on my 2014 Camry SE and I have been disappointed with the rough ride and noise level of these tires since day one. At first I thought it may be due to the car being an SE or because I lived in Michigan and how bad the roads were. I had owed a 97 Camry prior to this one and remember how smooth and quiet it was. I’ve been needing replacements for about 2 years now but since I retired and moved to TN I don’t drive much and have put off replacing due to fear I could end up getting something as bad or worse than these. I am doing a lot of research and learning all I can about tires before I replace these. I would not recommend these tires. And would be skeptical of this brand now.

Numerous customers report rapid treadwear, with scores between 0-4 highlighting premature wear and needing replacement early. Despite occasional high ratings, poor durability remains a common complaint for this all-season tire.

These tires are absolutely terrible. Don't wear well, don't hold air, ride hard.. Took them off after 5k miles because they were so terrible... Will never buy Bridgestones again. Car drives and rides better with the Generals I installed... And I don't have any of the problems I listed previously

...However being very retentive with my tires: always rotating at about 5000 miles, weekly pressure checks with an accurate gauge, regardless these tires are nearly bald at 20,000 mikes. Additionally they only have a manufacturer treadwear rating of 260, these are essentially overpriced disposable tires.
These tires came with my ES350 from the factory and are likely the worst tires I have owned in many years of driving. The Bridgestone EL400-02's do provide a quiet comfortable ride in dry conditions. However being very retentive with my tires: always rotating at about 5000 miles, weekly pressure checks with an accurate gauge, regardless these tires are nearly bald at 20,000 mikes. They are also somewhat pricey, unfortunately Lexus only equipped higher optioned ES350 models with the excellent Michelin MXV4's. I would suggest that you look at Michelin's offerings when replacing these tires. Additionally they only have a manufacturer treadwear rating of 260, these are essentially overpriced disposable tires.

Are Front-Wheel Drive and All-Season Tires Enough for Winter Driving?(02:33)
Drivers living in the northern U.S. have already discovered a set of dedicated winter/snow tires increases their vehicles' wintertime capabilities enough to reduce their driving times, tension and stress. However, if you're among the skeptics who still question if the added traction is worth the expense, watch this video.
Testing on Ice: Winter / Snow vs. All-Season vs. Summer Tires(03:38)
First we tested all-season and winter / snow tires on our snowy test track.
Now watch as we compare the difference between winter / snow tires, all-season tires and summer tires by evaluating acceleration, stopping and cornering capabilities — this time using an ice rink as our test track.
