Having Duelers on my previous vehicles SOLD me! I purchased my truck last year, it had new tires so off I went...ugh! I quickly learned I could not go through another winter with them. I love my dealership and have all work on my truck done there. I talked long with them about my tires and new wheel purchase. I also told them I will only consider Bridgestone. I learned my tire of choice is being phased out and not readily available. I chose the Alenza AS Ultra, and although I have had them for only a few days, I am very pleased with my decision. No noise and a very smooth ride! However, I did want to take advantage of the financing offer, so I opened a CFNA account only to learn it is not honored everywhere. My advice for you is to confirm this with your dealer or tire store first!

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.

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.

Purchased these tires a week before driving from Dayton OH to Chicago IL for the weekend. These tires are great. They're really smooth and quiet. The traction on dry and wet roads are incredible. I will say that they are a little high on the price but I did get a lifetime warrenty on the rotation and balancing with 4 free oil changes. But I do recommend this tire, just search around for the lowest prices. Plus check for rebates as I did and I'm receiving a $120 gift card back.

These Bridgestone Alenza tires came stock on my new BMW X5 and they offer great performance, comfortable and quiet ride. I was so satisfied with the them that I replaced them with another set of Bridgestone Alenza's. Then I also put a set on the wife's Expedition and she couldn't be happier with the ride quality and performance.

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.

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.

I selected the AS Ultra to quell some of the issues with the OEM tires that came with the car. Better traction, quicker off the mark, better handling in wet conditions, the orginal tires were worn but serviceable. The better half was ecstatic about the new feel of her ride, I was pleased with the long drive milage to Atlanta from Houston.

So far very happy with purchase. Great riding tire in dry and wet conditions. Cannot comment yet on winter performance. Newly purchased and therefore wear is also unknown at this time. For the Lexus the tire has improved the ride and handling has been improved over the replaced tires. No regrets would buy again.

And I have driven only 40k. Lexus dealership told me to change two tires at 35k. I have just pushed it a bit more. But I am disappointed that these tires last only 40k. And I have mostly highway driving. Everything is great with tires except the durability. Which I think is a major issue. Bridgestone should fix this.
