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.

Excellent Tire!

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.

Bridgestone's Have Never Let Me Down!!!

This is my fourth set of Bridgestones and so far I am very pleased with the Ultra. When I bought these ties, I had over 93,000 miles on my previous set of Alenza Plus. They still had a few more miles left in them before getting to the tire tread wear bar, but I was getting ready for a road trip to Indiana and wanted to be prepared with new tires in case of winter road conditions My tire shop can never believe how many miles I am able to get out of a set of tires, especially since my SUV is used in my Limousine business and runs the roads hard. My secret to long tread life? I use a tire shop that offers a lifetime alignment package and also does oil changes so it is super simple to make one stop for service every 5,000 miles. Rotate, balance, check alignment and oil change every 5,000 miles like clockwork and you too can get amazing life out of your tires.

Don't buy these Tires

I have a 2005 Toyota 4Runner that has really low miles and is in exceptional condition, and so I wanted nothing but the best for it. I previously had a set of Bridgestone Alenzas on my last 4Runner and they were awesome. Smooth, tracked straight, great in rain, and incredible tire life. They were replaced by these which are supposed to be amazing but they're not. With these being more expensive than the top of the line Michelins I had high hopes. They perform like a low end tire with a high price tag. Terrible in the rain, balancing issues, the car won't track straight anymore and is all over the road. The only thing they have going for them is they're quiet. I wish I would've got something else. After spending nearly $1500 I now have to live with my car driving terribly, or fork out more money to replace these brand new tires with something else. I travel a lot and these tires make the car almost dangerous to drive at highway speeds. I constantly have to correct the steering wheel because it just follows the road. Do not buy! Most expensive means nothing!

Didn't last long

I have had these tires a little over a year and have put 21,000 miles on them and already time for new tires. I love bridgestone dueler thinking these would be as good with them having 80,000 mile warranty. Boy was I wrong. I would not recommend these tires. I should have gotten another 3 years out of them.

Alenza AS Ultra

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.

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

First time having Alenza AS Ultra Tires

Bought these tires around 7200 miles ago. so still new. But I have had other Bridgestone tires and have success with them. So I bought these. I live in Wisconsin and winter is coming so I wanted a tire that can handle the snow and slippery conditions. I have not yet been able to try in winter conditions. But I am so impressed by their traction in heavy rain weather. The last tires I had hydro plained real bad in wet weather not even heavy rain. so extremely happy so far.

Terrible tread life

BMW X7 comes with these and first set lasted only 23k miles whenI usually get 40k plus on prior X5 run flat low profile tires. Replacement set only last 11k miles of almost all highway driving - by far the worst tread life of any tire I've ever owned.

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.
