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.

500 miles; seems ok but louder than old tires

These tires replaced the OE Dueler H/L Alenza on my Tundra. So far, I have about 500 miles on them. The ride is better, and the new tires seem to have better grip in dry and rain than the old tires. However, they are louder, especially in the 35-50 mph range. Once up to 60 or so mph, they aren't singing quite as loudly. I specifically sought out tires that were not AT (all terrain) because I didn't want to hear a lot of tire noise. Maybe its due to the width (275/55R20)? Not sure. So if you want a really quiet tire, the Alenza AS Ultra is probably not it. I know Bridgestone makes an excellent tire, and I like that these tires are made in the USA, grip well, ride well, and hopefully function well for many miles as a good tire. But the noise is a put-off, and I just hope maybe it gets better after some more riding.

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!

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.

So far, I'm impressed

The tires are great so far. The only reason I didn't give it 5 ✨ across the board was because i can't really say how they wear / longevity. But if they last longer then all the other tires I have purchased in the past ( other brands) then they will be worth every penny. I have a good feeling that they will.

Love These Tires!

Lots of potholes in RI and these tires increased the ride quality of our Wrangler Sahara Unlimited immeasurably. They do everything well, but their ride quality combination of comfort and quietness are so superior, we just bought a pair for our 2012 BMW X5 35d! These are the best riding tires we have ever owned and I may not wait for my run flats to wear out before I have a pair mounted on our 2020 X5 M5Oi.

Very Disappointed

I purchased these tires to replace the set my vehicle came with. They are rated for 75000-80000 miles, which was a major factor when buying. 35000 miles later the tread is shot! I drive the speed limit and am not a reckless driver. It was a complete waste of money buying these horrible tires. I now switched to Goodyear, as I have had very good usage on my trucks. A much better ride, very quiet and a lot cheaper. I'll never waste my time or money on Bridgestone again.

Good Tire, Nowhere Near Warranty

Great tire for my minvan, quiet ride. Very comfortable for highway commuting and daily driving. Barely met half of the warranty amounts. Firestone will be paying out a fractioned prorated replacement for the tires based on the reduction, would get again. Trying out the WeatherPeaks next though to get a comparison between the two

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.

Don't buy these Tires

I have a 2005 Toyota 4Runner that has really low miles and is in exceptional condition, and so I wanted nothing but the best for it. I previously had a set of Bridgestone Alenzas on my last 4Runner and they were awesome. Smooth, tracked straight, great in rain, and incredible tire life. They were replaced by these which are supposed to be amazing but they're not. With these being more expensive than the top of the line Michelins I had high hopes. They perform like a low end tire with a high price tag. Terrible in the rain, balancing issues, the car won't track straight anymore and is all over the road. The only thing they have going for them is they're quiet. I wish I would've got something else. After spending nearly $1500 I now have to live with my car driving terribly, or fork out more money to replace these brand new tires with something else. I travel a lot and these tires make the car almost dangerous to drive at highway speeds. I constantly have to correct the steering wheel because it just follows the road. Do not buy! Most expensive means nothing!
