The Bridgestone Turanza 6 (225/35R18 98Y) is a premium comfort touring summer tyre designed for daily driving, low noise, fuel efficiency, and wet safety. It is part of Bridgestone’s latest “comfort + eco-performance” generation.

• 225 → tyre width (225 mm)
• 35 → very low profile (sporty look, stiff ride)
• R18 → 18-inch rim
• 98 → load index (≈ 750 kg per tyre, very strong for this size)
• Y → speed rating up to 300 km/h

$225/35R18\Rightarrow \text{ultra low-profile tyre giving sharp steering but reduced comfort due to short sidewall}$

✔ Comfort & ride quality

• Better comfort than older Turanza T005
• Designed to reduce road noise
