Bridgestone Tyre 205/55R16 91V Turanza 6 ENLITEN
The Bridgestone Turanza 6 ENLITEN in size 205/55 R16 91V is a premium touring summer tyre designed for drivers who demand high safety margins, long service life, and improved efficiency—particularly in wet weather conditions. Engineered with Bridgestone’s latest ENLITEN technology package, this model is developed to deliver best-in-class wet performance while also reducing rolling resistance and supporting modern vehicle requirements, including electric vehicles.
Whether taking a corner at motorway speeds or braking unexpectedly in city traffic, the Turanza 6 ENLITEN is built to meet and exceed expectations in both wet and dry conditions. It provides best-in-class wet performance, with strong resistance to aquaplaning, reliable wet cornering stability, and outstanding wet braking performance. The tread design supports efficient water evacuation, helping to maintain consistent road contact during heavy rainfall and reducing the risk of loss of control on standing water.
A key advantage of this tyre is its superior mileage and longevity. Bridgestone’s ENLITEN development targets significant durability improvements, with up to +20% mileage versus its predecessor under comparable usage conditions. This is supported by smoother pressure distribution across the tread area, enabled through an interlocking mechanism that increases local pattern stiffness and reduces slippage, helping to reduce uneven wear and prolong tread life.
The Turanza 6 ENLITEN is also engineered for improved fuel and energy efficiency, featuring a reduced rolling resistance profile (up to -4% rolling resistance versus predecessor). This is achieved through advanced compound and construction engineering, including new mixing and filler-polymer chemistry to optimise filler dispersion and improve reaction control. The tyre also utilises a new low gauge body ply and tread ply construction, reducing tyre weight and hysteresis losses, allowing the tyre to travel further with less fuel or battery energy consumption.
This tyre is additionally EV-ready, meaning it is designed to meet the specific demands of electric vehicles, including higher torque delivery, weight considerations, and efficiency targets—without compromising braking, aquaplaning resistance, or handling performance.
With a load index of 91, this tyre supports a maximum load of 615 kg per tyre when inflated correctly. The V speed category symbol certifies safe operation up to 240 km/h (where legally permitted and vehicle-specified). External rolling noise is rated at 69 dB, supporting a quieter touring experience compared with many tyres in its class.
