Hi Bob,

I had some Turanza's on a bmw 525i, 205/65 15 HR. I read all the 
reports, thought they would be a great tire. Not to me anyway. They were
a very quiet and smooth riding tire, but the traction (on dry)
wasn't what I expected. Maybe I had too high expectations. Overall, I
think they are an above average tire for an "average" driver/car.
D40M2's ; RE71 ; Comp T/A all vg tires. So many to choose from, it's
hard to tell until you just buy a set and experience them.

My .02 worth
