Quiet smooth ride

Bought these as recommended replacement for the duelers that came on truck. They seem great so far but, if you live in a state that has "grooved concrete" on freeway, know that these tires really grab those grooves causing an unstable feel which isn't fun at freeway speeds

Frequent buyer of Bridgestone Tires

I replaced another competitor's brand of tire on my Tiguan and chose Bridgestone of all the available brands on the market for various reasons: 1- previous satisfaction with Bridgestone on multiple vehicles over the years 2- quiet ride 3- all season capabilities 4- price compared to other major brands 5- tread design I have had satisfactory results on previous vehicles (Cars, Pickup's and SUV's) when equipped with Bridgestone tires. The Alenza A/S tire continues the satisfaction I've received from previous Bridgestone tires. Signed Happy Repeat Customer

i'm LOVING THEM!

Just got them put on today and I can't stop driving my car. THe ride is super smooth and quiet. I had Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS Plus II on the SUV and loved them but I wanted to try the Alenza Ultra. The Alenza Ultra drives better than the Pirelli's. I"M SO HAPPY I WENT WITH THE ALENZA ULTRA 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.

Poor Quality / Poor Customer Service

Purchased these tires for 2021 Volvo XC90, 6 months later, 6100 miles, the rear tires measure 4/32 at the rotation service. Service center/Bridgestone tire dealer did not rotate tires due to condition and reached out to company with concerns of condition. Bridgestone rep stated the tires started at 10/32. Didn't even make 10% of the 80K warranty. When speaking with customer service, both the dealer and myself were made aware that Bridgestone would not fully cover the replacement. In addition, they would not cover the front tires being they are 7/32 and cannot do anything until they are 4/32. They calculate they would last another 3000 miles, and at that point reaching 4/32, I could submit a another claim in which the would calculate another percentage for that replacement. Customer Service agreed these are not a good tire for Volvo XC 90s. Estimate is less than 10,000 miles before they fail inspection. I would search for another brand in this size and WOULD NOT buy if you have a VOLVO XC90

Alenza Sport

These came on my care and lasted 4 years and 50,000 miles without any issues. So when it came to replacement, I Purchased the same tires. I don't see the Sport on the list anymore, only the Ultra. I hope these are not old outdated tires. I was very happy with the Sport tire.

Back with Bridgestone

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.

Noisy

I noticed road noise the first day I got these tires. I drove for a while and finally got annoyed enough to call Bridgestone. I was told to go to a certified dealer. I did at about the 1 month mark. The tech didn't agree that the "noise" was enough to warrant any further investigation. I don't have any other complaints with these tires other than it sounds like a jeep with Bobby tires on the parkway.

ALENZA AS ULTRA, early review

Only driven 300 miles on them but already can say handling is improved over the stock Michelins which only had 24000 miles on them. The are a little louder than the Michelins, but still vey good. Tried them on a little snow as I needed a better tire for weather conditions in Michigan as I deliver meals to elderly people and need to be safe, these seemed to did in well for an all season tire. So far happy.

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.
