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.

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.

Sidewall blowout and tires wearing quickly

My RAM 1500 came with the older version of these tires that had a 40,000 mile warranty. At 30,000 they had strange wear patterns on three of the four tires even though they had been rotated multiple times, correct pressure maintained, and NO alignment issues. Got a 25% reduction is new set of four due to prorated mileage failure and really loved the new ones at first. Now with only 25,000 miles on them it is clear they won't make it to 50,000 let alone 70,000 or 80,000 or whatever they claim. Bigger problem is today pulling out of driveway the passenger front tire blew out. I did not hit anything, there was no road hazard, the sidewall simply failed going over the 1" curb from my driveway to the street. Thank God I was not driving down the highway with my three kids in the car. I am filing a report with NTSB to see if their are manufacturing problems reported with these tires as I do not feel safe keeping them on my truck. The dealer insists a tire cannot simply blow out and I must have hit something but the RAM Roadside tech said it was clearly a sidewall band problem and it was obvious I hit nothing, and there was nothing in the road or stuck in the tire.

Disappointed in tread life

I bought these tires in June 2022 with the expectation that they would last at least 3-4 years with the limited 80,000 mile warranty. I took the car in for an oil change and tire rotation last week. The technician inspected the tires and said the tread life was nearly exhausted. I've had the car serviced regularly including tire rotation, and driven 20,323 miles since purchasing the tires, so this was not welcome news.

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.

Less than 30,000 miles on a 80,000 mile tire!

We purchased a brand new Volkswagen ID4. The tires need to be replaced @ ~27,000 miles. Sad to see such a discrepancy in stated vs. Actual mileage tires. I will say they are very quite tires.

These tires are not worth it

My wife's car is barely at 42000 miles and one tire is almost completely bald. I assume these were done at 35000 miles not worth the ridiculous price point or miles they claim

Reliable Tire

Tire is very reliable in a wet or dry pavement. Feels like it grips the pavement very well while driving on winding roads and the highway. Very pleased with the smooth and noise free ride.

Smooth ride

Since purchasing 4 new Alenza AS Ultra tires, the car rides much smoother. You don't feel bumps n the road as much. The tires grip the road better, resulting better steering.

Very smooth & quiet

I put these on my wife's Yukon XL because I put the same tire on my GMC Sierra and they performed excellent. Very quiet and great performance in the rain.
