nice looking tire

The tires are very nice looking however the ride is a little bumpy and I have a vibration in the steering wheel which I did not have before. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they looked at everything on the front end including an alignment and could find nothing wrong. I had them rebalance the tires and the vibration is still present. I can't put another set of tires on I spent over $1100.00 on this set and I'm sure they are not going to take them back and put on another set if they can't find anything wrong with them, so I guess I am stuck with these I don't know what else I could possibly do. Next oil change I am going to have them rotated and see if that gets rid of the problem and if it does one of those front tires has some kind of defect.

Back with Bridgestone

I've been around the block with OEM tires on my 2014 Porsche Cayenne S as well as a 2013 Mercedes GLK 350 and sorry to Pirelli and Michelin but nothing compares to the immediate satisfaction of a smooth quiet ride of the new Alenza AS Ultra and with an 80K mileage warranty, I'll be reporting back for a long time. I had the Bridgestone Dueler H/L on a Mercedes ML350 and they were great as well regarding wear and ride. Make no mistake, the Pirelli and Michelin brands make fantastic tires but neither never made it to half the mileage warranty even with consistent rotation. I did receive a prorated cost due to early tire wear but it gets expensive replacing tires like these every 12 - 18 months.

Replacing Alenza Duellers

I drove my Alenza Duelers for 8 years and put over 80K miles on them along with an additional 20K flat towing miles behind my RV. Those tires wore evenly which is remarkable of a 4WD vehicle; and still had a lot of tread depth left. However, I decided to replace them even tho they had served me quite well and may have a year or two more left on them. The new Alenza AS Ultras have already impressed me with a smooth, quiet ride that I am sure will not disappoint in all weather conditions for many more years. Great tires! The best!

Comfortable but low tread life tires

These came with my Audi eTron and were very comfortable. The tread life was very low considering the site mentions 70k mileage. I got around 29k out of them. Doesn't seem to be a good tire choice for heavy cars, which most luxury vehicles are heavier.

Excellent choice so far

I replaced the OEM Continental tires with the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra because this was Tire Rack's highest rated Bridgestone in my size, although it was not their top tire, and I already had Firestone's Lifetime Alignment on this vehicle. They matched Costco's installed price, also. One of the Continental tires had a belt break, and winter was just around the corner and tread was thin, so I replaced all four tires just before a 600-mile road trip from SC to VA. I've had Bridgestones before, and was never disappointed when I bought a highly rated tire. The first thing I noticed was the effortless steering, like the front tires were on ice. I don't know if that's good or bad. On the Interstate, the tires soaked up minor bumps like they weren't there --- the bumps didn't make it into the car, which the passengers appreciated. Is this because of fresh rubber or a tire characteristic --- time will tell? Concrete pavement separators, bridge entries and exits, and pavement repair bumps disappeared as-if I had new shocks. And road noise from tires vanished. We have lots of stretches of some very noisy pavement, but you wouldn't know it with these tires. Again, is it the tire or simply fresh rubber? As the driver, I really appreciated this. I have TPM and the pressure never wavered. I drive on curvy roads, faster than I care to admit, but these tires didn't squeal or slip. We have not had winter yet, so I can't report on that, but if the tire performance so far is any indication, I've got a real winner of a tire.

Terrible Treadlife

With an 80K treadwear rating this tire is the worst performing tire I've ever owned. Despite rotating the tires every 5 to 6K miles and keeping them properly inflated, they will not make 30K miles before requiring replacement. Traction and comfort are OK, but nothing special. Without question this will be my last set of Bridgestone tires.

ALENZA AS ULTRA, early review

Only driven 300 miles on them but already can say handling is improved over the stock Michelins which only had 24000 miles on them. The are a little louder than the Michelins, but still vey good. Tried them on a little snow as I needed a better tire for weather conditions in Michigan as I deliver meals to elderly people and need to be safe, these seemed to did in well for an all season tire. So far happy.

Overall good tire

I bought ALENZA AS ULTRA 265/50R20 as replacement for original ECOPIA H/L 422 PLUS. With Ecopia I had 69.000 miles at time of replacement, could do couple more K but did not want to push the limit as they were rated to last up to 70K miles. Alenza so far has really good comfort ride, it is more quiet than Ecopia, provide good stability and so far, I am happy with performance and buy. Drove a little bit on snow and tire had good traction, I hope Alenza to last at least as previous tires I had. The only reason why is getting 4 star and not 5 is that my mileage per gallon went down about 15-20%.

Amazing

My truck rode like a truck prior to switching to these tires. My truck now rides like a Cadillac you don't feel the potholes or the ruffness of the road. I'm switching my SUV to these tires also. Little expensive at $250ish apiece, but you get what you pay for I guess

Not so good vibrations

Had these 295-40-21 Alenza As Ultra installed on my 2019 GLS 550 in July, immediate shakes. After 8000 miles, 3 balance attempts, roadforce and a bunch of money spent at 2 different shops I gave up and trading my car in. These do not ride well and have an inherent shake in the vehicle, very annoying. The ride is rough, should have stuck with the michelins I had before.
