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.
Owners report excellent dry traction and confident wet performance, with many highlighting responsive handling and a comfortable ride. Scores in the 9-10 range dominate for dry and wet conditions, aligning with the tire's summer-focused design. Comfort receives consistent praise for smoothness and low noise. However, treadwear shows mixed results-some note rapid wear, particularly with aggressive driving, though others report satisfactory longevity when used as intended. Overall, the Pilot Sport 4S excels in its performance categories, with most concerns centered on tread life rather than dynamic capabilities.

...Dry and wet it feels like 20% more grip (I'm not saying you can get 20% more G on the skid pad, just describing how it feels). The GY always complained and made you wonder if it would let go when things got exciting. These just grip. No complaints. No drama. Just grip...
I have 40k on the non runflat version of this tire on an almost identical MB wagon. The run flat is noisier. I read the reviews that mentioned that. But I expected a low rumble, not the mid frequency I get. It sounds like waving a switch slowly at 30, and quickly at 55. But like putting a ceiling fan in a room without one, at first all you can hear is the new fan, but pretty quickly you stop hearing it. After a couple of weeks I mostly don't hear them, and when I do notice them I forget in a mile. What do I notice? The grip. It is MUCH better than the OEM Good Year Eagle runflat. Dry and wet it feels like 20% more grip (I'm not saying you can get 20% more G on the skid pad, just describing how it feels) . The GY always complained and made you wonder if it would let go when things got exciting. These just grip. No complaints. No drama. Just grip. These tires are fantastic combination of dry and wet grip, durability(I expect), and run flat. I was concerned dropping from a 45 to a 40 (they don't make it in a 45 for my size), but I honestly can't tell the difference in comfort. I would accept a bit of noise for the confidence these tires give me every day of the week.

The tire walls are impressive. More importantly, they provide a stable ride throughout the workdays and weekends. When it rains, I still experience the same stability. I look forward to purchasing two more tires to replace the front pair.

...I floor it, sticks to the road without spinning. Really an amazing thing for a so called all season tire...
This is an amazing tire. Probably the best tire I've ever seen. I floor it, it sticks to the road without spinning. Really an amazing thing for a so called all season tire. It's really comfortable. It is noticeably more comfortable than the last tire I had on my car, which I also purchased on this website. I've driven on them a thousand miles and they still look new. For there ability to have so many great things into one super tire I applaud Michelin.

These tires stick to the ground in everyday driving conditions better than the PS Cup2 tires that came on the car. Also i used them on the track once and they stick real good when warmed up.

These tires seem to have better traction than the stock Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP's. With accelerating hard off the start, I would get some wheel spin, but these tires don't spin at all under hard acceleration in dry conditions. With the increased wet traction and the ability to drive in cold conditions, these tires are an upgrade all around. No more worrying about if it is going to rain and how my car is going to handle. Lastly, there is no tire chatter when taking a sharp turn at slow speeds - again signaling better traction than the OEM summer only tires.

...I'm always spinning the tires when driving not including spirited driving. I can feel the tires breaking traction on dry pavement. I have a 7 speed manual trans and running the gears even at lower speeds will some times spin the tires...
Tires are great accept not great for a Corvette Z06. I'm always spinning the tires when driving not including spirited driving. I can feel the tires breaking traction on dry pavement. I have a 7 speed manual trans and running the gears even at lower speeds will some times spin the tires. I bought these tires thinking that all seasons would give me the opportunity to drive year round which they do. However, owning a Corvette is reason to accelerate occasionally just to hear the exhaust. These tires again are great accept not for any type of Corvette driving.I mostly experience spinning shifting into 2nd and 3rd gear under 40 mph. However, to each their own. It appears that the life of these tires might be great because of the wear rating of 540. Just my opinion as a purchaser.

...Also looking Forward to getting more than 5000 miles out of a tire set...
The tires work extremely well under hard acceleration compared to the factory eagle super car 3 without extreme temperatures which Goodyear requires , I have not driven it at the track to see how they hold up, but I wanted a tire like this that if I got caught out in the rain, which I don’t usually try to drive in the rain that I had a tire that was safe . Also looking Forward to getting more than 5000 miles out of a tire set .

Love how my Vett seemed to ride smoother with these tires. They are a lot more quiet than my older tires. Time will tell if I get 25K - 30K miles out of them. As of now, I am definitely happy with these 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.
