Terrible

Purchased these tires because of all the positive accolades but this is what I found out after two weeks: The ride comfort and noise were just okay compared to the OEM tires on my Volvo. The mpg was reduced by 3.2 mpg over the OEM tires. However, the worse thing is that these tires tramline terrible on grooved concrete which is unavoidable in my area. I have driven over 60 years now and never saw/felt something this bad = even my mud/snow tires on my truck do not do this. I returned the vehicle to the local Firestone dealer and the manager drove the vehicle to see. His comment was "terrible tires". Anyway, I hate returning anything but these tires are so scary to drive on that I had to. Thank goodness that the dealer totally agreed and returned all my money. Firestone needs to do a lot better and warn people about this or there will be accidents due to these tires.

Smooth Ride

I purchased Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra my 3rd set of tires. My daily driver a F150 Limited with 275/45R22 v rated tires. The tire selection for my truck is minimal without going oversized. When I purchased my vehicle factory tires were Pirelli Zeros they only lasted about 38,000 miles. My 2nd set of tires I purchased Michelin Premier LTX 60,000 mile tire lasted almost 48,000 miles before the tread was @ 3/32nd and needed replacement. I was nervous purchasing a new style of tire with limited reviews. After driving for 3000 miles ( about 3 weeks) the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra ride is much quieter and smoother than the Perelli's and the Michelin's. The Bridgestones Alenza AS Ultra have a very nice looking sidewall and tread pattern. Also important to preform in all weather. So far great dry performance and wet road traction plus stopping. I have not driven in the snow yet! I live in Dallas Texas area no snow yet this year. Hopefully the tires last close to 80,000 miles. If so I'll purchase again.

Very Good Tires - Alenza AS Ultra

Tires Plus, Thank you for replacing the worn tires on my 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan (GT) with these new Alenza AS Ultra tires. We did not expect these tires to make such a difference in our driving experience - but they have! My wife and I both agree that these tires are so much quieter than previous tires. Plus, they provide a significantly much smoother ride. We are actually looking forward to our next family road trip and expect that these tires will certainly make the trip more enjoyable. Thank you very much for all your help.

Wear Out Real Fast

These tires worked well, no complaints about performance for an all season tire. However the tire wear was abysmal. Tires were rated for 80K, they were down to the wear bars at less than 30K miles and had to be replaced. They were on the truck for only 2.5 years. I'd never buy these again.

Alenza Ultra AS

Tires were just what I needed. I had heavy-duty truck tires on my Dodge before but did not really need them. These Bridgestone tires are just what I was looking for the 80000 mile wear is nice. I have had them out in torrential downpours and they work great. These tires offer a great ride and are a quieter ride than my old tires. Very happy with these so far.

New tires

I just purchased these tires 3 days ago and so far so good. Quiet ride and smooth driving. All I hear when driving is the sound of my engine. The roads have been very wet here in Connecticut in the past couple of days and I have had no problems driving in the rain. I haven't felt any hydroplaning and the truck seems to handle quite well in the current conditions. Like I said, " I've only had these tires for 3 days" so far so good. A bit skeptical from the reviews I have read, but I'll will have to see once the tires break in and get more wear on them. I have been driving on Michelin's for the past 3 1/2 years and the wear pattern was showing on the outside edges and tread life was low too. I kept the tires properly inflated and rotated about every other oil change. I guess I will have to see what Bridgestone tires do after 5K to 25K. They claim to be an 80,000 mile tread life... time will tell. If I don't like them within the next couple of months, I will return back to Firestone and Find something else. I hope these Alenza Ultra's make me a believer! These are my first set of Bridgestones.

I have had this tires rebalanced 4 times already

There is a constant shimmy in my steering wheel ever since I've had these new tires installed. I've had it back to the dealer repeatedly and they rebalance them. I can't imagine why they won't stay in balance. Not a comfortable ride. It's actually quite upsetting considering the amount of money I paid for these. Very disappointed!

Alenza Sport

These came on my care and lasted 4 years and 50,000 miles without any issues. So when it came to replacement, I Purchased the same tires. I don't see the Sport on the list anymore, only the Ultra. I hope these are not old outdated tires. I was very happy with the Sport tire.

Noisy

I noticed road noise the first day I got these tires. I drove for a while and finally got annoyed enough to call Bridgestone. I was told to go to a certified dealer. I did at about the 1 month mark. The tech didn't agree that the "noise" was enough to warrant any further investigation. I don't have any other complaints with these tires other than it sounds like a jeep with Bobby tires on the parkway.

This tire should not be sold for luxury SUV's /Terrible wear

Purchased the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra for my wife's Mercedes GLS with the expectation of having a comfortable, quiet tire with long treadwear as Bridgestone advertises and I've experienced with Michelin tires. Within 17,000 in 1 year of use, the Alenza's are at 3/32 and closing in on the wear bars. I didn't feel safe having my wife and son continue to drive the vehicle with these tires after only 17,000 miles due to the potential to aqua-plane due to the worn tread. As such, I was forced to buy new tires. I wouldn't recommend this tire if you are thinking that Bridgestone's claimed 800 treadwear rating has any validity to it unless my 4 tires were defective. I'm sure I'm not the first consumer to bring this matter to Bridgestone's attention. These tires do not perform as advertised.
