Bridgestone Alenza 001 review

“Soon will have to replace tires on my NX350h Hi all, Soon I will have to replace the 2022 NX tires. The car came with "Bridgestone Alenza 001" so far so good, the ride quality has been nice, the noise is OK, and the rim protection (tire being wider than rim) worked well (narrow entrances with curbs in parkings in the city we live). We've made 75.000Km with the OEM tires and we will still make the summer with them before replacing them. In the area were we live is very rare to see snow. The car has no place for spare tire so runflats will have to be. I know runflats don't get "lots of love", but safety is a must and we will mount runflats again. The guy at the dealer offered us the GOODYEAR EFFICIENT GRIP 2 SUV. But as far as I've seen, those are not runflat. If we would like to improve, what would you recommend and why? Thanks!”

“Bridgestone Alenza 001 on a Lexus LC 500. Mistake? These things seem sooo buzzy compared to the Bridgestone Potenza S001L that came with it. I was told they’re the same tire basically. Not! Now is see they’re designed for SUVs. They’re not cheap tires either. Sounds like knobby jeep tires compared to before. 245/40/21 Is it because they’re new? Will the buzzing stop? Will they quiet down? Actually makes the steering wheel buzz a little. I’ve bought new before. Lol. Don’t remember this much difference.”

“towing with Bridgestone Alenza 001 I am looking for a set of new tires in 255/55/18 for my diesel X5, and I will be using the car to tow an open trailer with a car (5000 lbs). The price of these Alenza 001 is attractive, but wondering if it would be a mistake to buy these for towing. The car is rarely driven in rain and rarely driven at all, so they will probably age out before I wear them out through mileage.”

“Not that you asked, but I had the alenza 001 and replaced with continental dws tires because the 15k mile tread life on the alenza's against the cost of the tire was too crazy. Alenza's were quieter and a bit smoother. I do hear great things about the hanook's, wishing I had gotten those!”

“Need All-Weather Tires for my BMW X3 Hello. I am looking to purchase all-weather tires for my 2022 BMW X3 XDrive30i. I live in an area that does not get a significant amount of snow throughout the year and can vary. Some seasons upwards of a couple feet to some seasons with a few inches. The tires the car came with are absolutely god awful in the snow, even a dusting. The car currently has Bridgestone Alenza 001 RFT tires on it, yes I know they are Summer tires. I've been doing a lot of research regarding tires and everybody seems to rave about the Michelin CC2. Unfortunately, my car has staggered wheels 245/45R20 & 275/40R20. They make the front tire size, but not the rear. It seems the closest thing they have is 275/45R20. Is it possible to use that size for the rear? I know it would mess up the Odometer and Speedometer. Is it easy to adjust the car's setting to update the tire size? In my tire size I think the "best" all-season/all-weather tire I've been able to find is the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3. It seems the Vredestein Hypertrac All Season may also be good? Has anyone else been in my situation? Any other X3 owners with staggered wheels recommend a good all-weather tire with strong winter performance? I've considered doing the Summer/Winter switch, but given how hit or miss our winters are it seems silly to go through all of that effort if I have to drive in the snow maybe 3 or 4 times per year. Thanks for the help! Read more”

“Safe to drive? These tires (Bridgestone Alenza 001) have about 23k km on them, DOT date code 1922. Previous owner drove about 5k km per year hence the low mileage. I plan to purchase a complete new set but wondering how many more km’s I can safely get out of them. Read more”
