Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus Tire Review & Rating

The Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus is the replacement to the original Serenity that has been popular for several years now. This newest touring all-season tire is designed to provide excellent year round performance, a more comfortable ride and a longer lasting treadlife. Built for drivers of all types of coupes, sedans, minivans and crossovers, the Serenity Plus also sports a lower rolling resistance for added fuel efficiency.

A silica enhanced NanoPro-Tech rubber tread compound increases traction, especially on wet and snow covered road surfaces, by controlling the interaction between the silica, carbon black and other polymers which reduce friction and energy loss. It’s a high-tech process, but it does its job very well, which has been mentioned in many driver reviews.

Bridgestone’s exclusive Resonance Noise Attenuated silencer grooves around the tread dramatically reduce road noise, which is another area where drivers agree that it is one of the most quiet tires in this class. The tire’s continuous center rib further eliminates noise, while also providing increased steering response and stability, as well as enhanced braking and acceleration performance.

Three circumferential grooves combine with lateral grooves to give the tire exceptional wet surface traction and hydroplane resistance. An added 3-D Sub-Surface Platform increases snow traction due to the biting edges that grip snow, hard-packed snow and ice.

Inside the tire you will find two steel belts that are nylon reinforced for added strength and durability throughout the speed range. A polyester cord body provides improved ride comfort and increases stability. Bridgestone provides up to an 80,000 mile tread guarantee on this model, and offers 15-19 inch sizes in H, V or W-speed ratings.

Pros

• Dry and wet traction are outstanding   
• Excellent cornering performance and steering response   
• Exceptional ride comfort   
• Treadlife is very good   

Cons

• Deep snow and ice traction   

Overall Thoughts

The Serenity Plus was released in mid-2012, and has quickly positioned itself as an exceptional touring all-season tire. Dry and wet surface traction and cornering grip are excellent. The steering feel and overall stability this tire provides is among the best in this class.

Ride comfort is another area in which this tire excels and is on line with the better tires in this class. We’ve heard this from many drivers as well. The ride is smooth and very quiet, which is precisely what you want for those longer drives on the highway.

The only issue you may find with this model is its performance in deeper amounts of snow or on thick ice. This is an issue which gets more problematic as the tire begins wearing. As is the case with most all-season tires, it isn’t built to perform as a winter tire. Treadlife has already shown to be long lasting, which is backed up with an 80,000 mile tread guarantee.

Overall, this Bridgestone tire is an above average model. The price is budget-friendly, and the performance you can expect is exceptional.
