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.

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.

...I've been very happy with the handling in both dry and wet conditions...

Overall I’ve been very happy with these tires in my 2017 Mazda CX-9 AWD. Road noise is more than tolerable, with slight humming a certain speeds (~75-80 mph). I’ve been very happy with the handling in both dry and wet conditions. I drive my CX-9 fairly aggressively (which is one of the reasons I bought it). Just came back from South Lake Tahoe and drove up and down a driveway with 1-2 inches of snow cover and freshly plowed but slushy roads. No issues. AWD and M+S tired were required to not have to use chains and both worked together perfectly.

...Was really impress with the wet weather traction. We have been having a lot of heavy rain falls this summer in the northeast and was glad I installed new tires this spring.

Have put only 5000 miles on tires. When I installed the tires they seem to be a little rough riding and noisy. After about 1000 miles both seen to go away and are acceptable. I rotate them at 5000 miles and have not notice any abnormal wear. Was really impress with the wet weather traction.

...My biggest kudos would be that after 27 inches of snow, these tires got me in to work and back home safely and efficiently. I never felt threatened. I am not sure what else to say about a tire that can drive 60 miles through 27 inches of snow.

These tires are very smooth and ride well. I have yet to have any issues with them.

...Good grip in the snow so far...

I had the LE2 a number of years ago loved em. Bought another truck with Geolanders on it. TERRIBLE wet, snow, and generally a sloppy tire. I finally gave up and went back to the LE3. Could not be happier. Great on the HI way at 80 mph 5 days a week 150 miles per day. Wonderful wet...no hydroplaning. Good grip in the snow so far. Bit of a ruff ride but I prefer to feel the road and it translates into better handling. A very goo tire and not too expensive.

...Handles heavy rain and snowy roads confidently...

Seem to handle well, stable in corners and quick starts and stops. Not a ton of miles on them yet, but seem to be wearing well. Handles heavy rain and snowy roads confidently.

My main problem is one a few others have noted -- these tires are NOT good on road surfaces that are grooved in the direction of travel! Along a stretch of highway where there are grooves cut going WITH the road direction (not across the lanes), these tires caused the vehicle to become pretty active -- these lines made the vehicle really shift & wander, requiring constant attention and a steady hand on the wheel. Fortunately, we have only small stretches of this kind of road where I drive -- because if you had to drive very far on that kind of surface you would become both exhausted and seasick pretty quickly. Honestly thought, the day I drove home after having them installed, that the mechanic had neglected to tighten the lug nuts -- but, checking them showed they were tight, and as soon as I hit a smooth patch of road again everything was fine. Thought it might get better as the tires got broken in, but has not improved a bit.

Not sure whether this is due to weak sidewalls (doesn't really seem to be the case), or a thread so aggressive it's too active in following the grooves -- but if I had to drive this kind of road surface regularly, I would be replacing these tires ASAP.

...Excellent wet/dry braking, hydroplaning performance. Dry cornering like on rails (ok it's a RAM truck)...

Awesome tires. No noticeable treadware after 8000 miles. Silky smooth and quiet ride on good pavement. Excellent wet/dry braking, hydroplaning performance. Dry cornering like on rails (ok it's a RAM truck). Ride a bit harsh on rough surfaces (stiffer sidewalls than some competitors?) but will take it anytime for the cornering gains. Looked at Michilen Defender LTX MS which we had on our last RAM 1500 but better wet braking (my neighbor hates the wet braking performance of his Michilens) and equal performance in all but one other metric (I think the Michelins are smoother on rough surfaces) led me to the Firestones. The Firestones and Michelins were both replacements for OEM Goodyears and, in both cases, were night to day improvements. So far extremely happy with the Firestones.

Read the reviews and ratings and tried these out. Very pleased with the ride comfort, traction and noise levels. Have no complaints. In fact, just purchased same for my daughters Ford Explorer. After three days she said "what a difference for the originals".

Can't wait to see them in snow. based upon reviews, possibly I do not have to put my dedicated snows on until later in the season.

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.
