Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

Street/Sport Truck Summer tires are for drivers who want to combine aggressive low-profile tires with large rim diameter wheels to enhance their vehicle's appearance. Sometimes used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on 2WD and 4WD pickup, crossover and sport utility vehicles, Street/Sport Truck Summer tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

O.E. Street/Sport Truck Summer light truck tires are typically purchased as direct replacements for worn-out pairs/sets of the vehicle's original tires. They can also be used for other vehicle applications in complete sets of four or axle pairs if available in an appropriate size, load range and speed rating to match the existing O.E. tires' performance category and specifications.

NOTE: Run-flat tires are only recommended for vehicles that are originally equipped with self-supporting run-flat tires and equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system.

Bridgestone Alenza 001 RFT Reviews

User feedback reveals the Bridgestone Alenza 001 RFT excels in dry traction, with many ratings in the 8-10 range highlighting confident cornering and responsive handling. Wet traction shows variability, with scores ranging from 3-10, indicating strong performance in light rain but reduced hydroplaning resistance in heavy downpours. Most drivers praise the comfortable ride, though some report harshness over rough surfaces. Treadwear is a common concern, with numerous low scores (0-4) suggesting shorter lifespan than expected for a summer tire. While noise levels are generally acceptable, a few note increased road noise at higher speeds.

...I've driven high speeds in rains and not once did these tires hydroplane. I've stomped the gas pedal at stoplights during the rain and never spun a tire...

These tires came on my new BMW. I'd had Bridgestone tires before but not in an RFT. Was I ever surprised!!! I love these tires. Great high-speed cornering along with great stopping. I've driven high speeds in rains and not once did these tires hydroplane. I've stomped the gas pedal at stoplights during the rain and never spun a tire. Tis a shame that these tires are not offered in all-weather RFT tires with the 168mph rating. I'd buy them. They respond very quickly. Wear on them is great too. I am a stickler for tire pressures. I check my tire pressures several times weekly and if they're not at the factory recommended psi when checked cold, I make adjustments so they are. Due to the weather, I am now being forced to remove these tires and buy another tire that is all-weather instead of high performance summer. I'd gladly buy them again.

...The only gripe I have about them is the hydroplaning resistance. Puddles about a half inch deep at 40 to 50 mph will send you all over the place...

Tires came on a 2019 BMW X4 M40i. I must say that I am impressed with the car and tire combination. The stability and handling (wet or dry) is some of the best I have encountered to date. They are a little noisy and stiff but they are 20 inch low profile performance tires so I wouldn't expect anything else. All around a very well balanced tire. The only gripe I have about them is the hydroplaning resistance. Puddles about a half inch deep at 40 to 50 mph will send you all over the place. Overall, I would buy again but living in the PNW where it rains a lot, hydroplane resistance is a top priority for me. I haven't tried them in the snow yet but the recent freezing fog we had, they did well. Being that I have only put 2,000 miles on them I won't expect more than another 10,000 miles. You have to pay to play... Can't have a tired that does everything well and I'd rather replace my tires often knowing that the grip is there, vs having a more comfortable ride.

...Completed a road trip with a torrential thunderstorm for 500 miles and tires were solid, no hydroplaning at all...

I really cannot complain about these tires since we dont have that many options to choose from. These tires have been great but would like to see some michelin tires available at some point. I did put 25k miles on the first set. I had them balanced every 6-7k miles. Now car has 31k miles total, so the new set has 7k miles, they seem to be wearing a bit faster than the first set, however no problems. Completed a road trip with a torrential thunderstorm for 500 miles and tires were solid, no hydroplaning at all. Will keep you posted as they eat the miles.

I was surprised by the plushness of the ride. I was expecting them to be harsh, but they have good enveloping feel and very quick damping of impacts.

I wanted the extended mobility of runflats for my daughter since the Venza doesn't have a spare tire. I was surprised by the plushness of the ride. I was expecting them to be harsh, but they have good enveloping feel and very quick damping of impacts.

This is a great looking run flat tire. Everything about the tire is great except I feel that even though it’s a summer tire, for the amount of highway driving I do it’s wearing a little faster than I had anticipated. That being said it’s a great tire.

...The tread life of these tires is only around 6,500 miles and even a single puncture often requires replacement of both left and right tires for safety reasons. As a result, I have to replace the tires almost every year...

I have had a terrible experience with the Bridgestone Alenza tires that came as OEM on my BMW X3 M40i with 21" rims and run-flat technology. The tread life of these tires is only around 6,500 miles and even a single puncture often requires replacement of both left and right tires for safety reasons. As a result, I have to eplace the tires almost every year. Additionally, the ride noise is quite loud, the grip when wet is bad and the ride is hard, which is what I would say is a common issue with the many run-flat tires I've had on other BMWs. I have decided to switch from Alenza tires to Michelin Primacy Tour tires. The Alenza tires are too expensive and suitable only for summer use, whereas the Primacy Tour, although not having run-flat technology, will hopefully last twice as long if not longer. If you like expensive tires that need to be replaced anually, these are the tires for you, look elsewhere such Michelin for better tires for your BMW.
