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.

Bridgestone, has for the past 40 years, has been my choice for OEM replacement. Quiet ride has always been my objective, If the ride is quiet I feel all other atttributes to safety and mechanics are in place. Plus it always feels good to have a new set going into winter.

I bought ALENZA AS ULTRA 265/50R20 as replacement for original ECOPIA H/L 422 PLUS. With Ecopia I had 69.000 miles at time of replacement, could do couple more K but did not want to push the limit as they were rated to last up to 70K miles. Alenza so far has really good comfort ride, it is more quiet than Ecopia, provide good stability and so far, I am happy with performance and buy. Drove a little bit on snow and tire had good traction, I hope Alenza to last at least as previous tires I had. The only reason why is getting 4 star and not 5 is that my mileage per gallon went down about 15-20%.

These tires are rated for 80,000 miles. At 30,000 the belts started to separate, at 31,000 rubber started to peal off. Car dealers would not help said original tires don't have a mileage warranty...Bridgestone said the same thing. Poor quality tire, would not recommend.

These Particular tires are very durable and at the same time the quite ride is awesome. This tire is the type of Product you would want to have on any of your Vehicles particularly for the quality, durability, comfort, quite ride, and most definitely for the Performance you'll immediately notice with out a doubt. This is a well thought out yet overall tire that you'll come to agree that it's the only type of tire that you would recommend, to family and friends alike for any Vehicle that they own.

I went with this all-season radial to see if they would be comparable to the light truck tires I normally use on my truck. From the moment I started driving until the present, I think these are the best tires I have ever bought. They feel great on the dry road and wet roads.I am very confident with these. They are a great smooth quiet ride as well.I have told all my friends this same thing. The long tire life is a bonus also. I have 3 cars that I currently have and when tires need replacement I will definitely think about using this same tire.So far I am very pleased with my purchase.

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.

Just purchased a new set of these tires and have driven a few hundred miles mostly highway at 70. Car is very quiet, excellent grip and handling on the road. Local driving is as quiet if not quieter. Handling around corners, freeway entrances and winding roads is excellent. Excellent tire.

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!

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.
