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.

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.

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

Bubba's Review

The Alenza AS Ultra offers strong all-season performance, with good traction on various surfaces including wet and dry roads. The tread design typically enhances grip and handling, contributing to a more stable driving experience. Tires provide a quiet and comfortable ride, minimizing road noise and vibrations. The comfort level is often appreciated for daily driving and long trips. Bridgestone tires, including the Alenza series, are generally known for their durability.

Joe's Auto and Tire, Rochester, MN

We live 9 hours away from Rochester, MN. After multiple trips back and forth since February, it was determined health issues need to be addressed thus we became residents since May. Our tire were giving us problems with the wear and tear of the many trips we've had to make. We went in to Joe's, given immediate attention! Thus we were given quotes, accepted Bridgestone. The tires were ordered and several days later hooray! We had new tires to head home 9 hours away! Zach treated us with professionalism, patience, and was friendly, taking the time to answer our questions! Give the man a bonus! He is a keeper! Thank you Joe's Auto and Tire, the service staff, and especially Zach! This shop and staff are first class!

New tire review

Had to get tires when on vacation and these were available. They looked to be good tires with good reviews so I bought them. The Firestone store team did a great job installing. Overall they ride well, are responsive and handle well. They have an aggressive tread pattern so should handle well in snow, they did excellent in the rain. They are quiet but are a little louder than my old tires and I can feel certain types of road surfaces through the steering wheel most likely due to the aggressive tread pattern. Overall happy with them and hope they run the full 80k miles.

Bridgestone's Have Never Let Me Down!!!

This is my fourth set of Bridgestones and so far I am very pleased with the Ultra. When I bought these ties, I had over 93,000 miles on my previous set of Alenza Plus. They still had a few more miles left in them before getting to the tire tread wear bar, but I was getting ready for a road trip to Indiana and wanted to be prepared with new tires in case of winter road conditions My tire shop can never believe how many miles I am able to get out of a set of tires, especially since my SUV is used in my Limousine business and runs the roads hard. My secret to long tread life? I use a tire shop that offers a lifetime alignment package and also does oil changes so it is super simple to make one stop for service every 5,000 miles. Rotate, balance, check alignment and oil change every 5,000 miles like clockwork and you too can get amazing life out of your 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.

High end tires at low end prices

I bought my truck used right at the beginning of the pandemic. At the end of 2 years, issues with tires were frequent. The Honda dealership made the recommendation to replace all 4 tires at once. I have had no issues since then (despite having made a few long driving trips to visit family. I would recommend these to friends

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.
