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.

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.

Alenza AS Ultra

Great service from the crew at Somersworth NH Firestone Company Store. From the time leaving the store a noticeable improvement in handling and tracking. Quiet on dry pavement and the next day we had torrential downpours , they handled great in the rain at highway speeds.

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

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.

Fabulous

I really like the Bridgestone tires I chose over the Michelin tires that I normally buy. These are quieter and handle better on the horrible OK roads. I hope the 80,000 wear will be better than the Michelin tires. Michelin had a 60,000 wear but I only got 34,000 miles. Bridgestone tires will be my "go to tire" if the performance and wear keep impressing me.

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

Best tires I've ever used

I recently replaced the Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza Plus with the new Alenza Ultra 265/65R17 on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma 4DR w 6'BD. When I purchased the original tires my vehicle mileage was 53838. I replaced the tires recently at 135846, over 82K on them ans still had 4/32 tread remaining. They are quite, ride comfortablely, and long lasting. I had two sets of the 80K tires on my 2005 Tacoma and currently on my wife 2008 Toyota Highlander P245/55/R19 is on her second set also. Too make sure my vehicles tires last, I have them rotated every 10K miles and I puchased a life time alignment from the shop where I purchased the tires, smart investment I believe. Great tires if taken care of.
