The Alenza AS Ultra is Bridgestone's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of SUVs, crossovers, and light-duty trucks looking for a quiet, luxurious ride; good performance; and long tread life. The Alenza AS Ultra is designed to combine good dry handling with enhanced wet traction and all-season capability for confident performance, even in light snow.

An advanced, high-silica compound is molded into a symmetric pattern for inclement weather traction and noise comfort while allowing for flexible rotation options to maintain even tread wear. Wide circumferential grooves reduce hydroplaning and feature Quiet Tracks at the tread base to help reduce pattern noise and improve driving comfort. Tread blocks feature Snow Vices that create powerful biting edges for winter performance, along with generous siping for slippery surface traction.

The internal construction of the Alenza AS Ultra utilizes a two-ply, polyester casing that balances a luxurious ride with durability. Twin, steel belts provide stability along with a single, nylon reinforcement for enhanced high-speed capabilities to suit modern luxury vehicles.

Overall quality of tire is excellent. I have tried multiple times to break traction on both wet and dry roads and have been unsuccessful. The overall reaction to high speeds and sharp maneuvers are some of the best that I have experienced with this tire. When braking on braking on wet roads the tires have stopped without any slipping. Would highly recommend this tire for all vehicles that are daily driven.

These tires give me much confidence in the rain, superb dry handling for an AWD SUV.

These tires are fantastic and a definite upgrade in wet and dry handling and noise from the OEM Michellin Premier LTX. The SUV is handling much better around the corners and in the recent rain. The Michellin tires had 6/32 inches left but kept slipping in the rain while driving on the freeway. These tires give me much confidence in the rain, superb dry handling for an AWD SUV.

Great ride and performance. Very Happy overall. Solid traction in the rain and snow. Drove from Minneapolis to Kansas City at the end of March in various weather. Purchased due to availability over Michelin Defender. Because of the MN weather, I'll keep on only 9 months out of the year and switch to Blizzak from Dec to Feb.

...Dry grip is very good, and I have greatly increased confidence over the half-mixed set of Bridgestone Dueler HL400 (OEM tire) and Goodyear ComfortTred Touring that these replaced on my vehicle...

I bought these to replace a mixed set of tires that I was dissatisfied with that came on my XC90 V8 that I got last year. I'd previously had a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus on my prior XC90, and I was very happy with them (the most satisfactory tires I've yet owned prior to these) but I wanted improved winter performance. These are exactly what I had in mind, with improved focus on winter performance from the tread design without compromising other characteristics.
Somehow they're just as quiet - if not quieter - than the Dueler H/L Alenza Plus! Most notably they seem to have a more-subdued tone over road imperfections. Like the Dueler H/L Alenza Plus, they are almost eerily quiet driving around parking lots. You can definitely tell they're related to the Bridgestone QuietTrack, Turanza Serenity, and Dueler H/L Alenza Plus for their noise control. Perhaps Bridgestone could have called them Alenza QuietTrack just for branding similarities, even if QuietTrack is more for cars.
One of my favorite things with the Dueler H/L Alenza Plus was that they were very comfortable, as befitting a luxury-focused vehicle. Even though these are on bigger wheels than my previous XC90, these Alenza AS Ultra are just as comfortable as the Dueler H/L Alenza Plus, with minimal transference of minor road imperfections.
Dry grip is very good, and I have greatly increased confidence over the half-mixed set of Bridgestone Dueler HL400 (OEM tire) and Goodyear ComfortTred Touring that these replaced on my vehicle.
My sole critique so far is that they don't look as special/unique as the Dueler H/L Alenza Plus, which I can pick out from a short distance on a parked vehicle in a good way. However, I'll gladly sacrifice style for improved noise and ride comfort and safety, since I can't look at the tires when I'm driving.
I look forward to updating the review when I actually get some practical experience in winter conditions.

This is the top of All Season tires. Very responsive on dry and wet. Ran hard through Oregon and Washington mountains, down through California and scorching hot Texas and Arizona. Alenzas are the most quiet and comfortable. Also extremely durable. Reparable nails and 2by4s could not stop the original set of 4 Alenza tires I purchased from Firestone. There are no other tires like these.

The Tires are amazing, just what the Acadia needed, noise and bouncing are gone. Steering is easier as is the ride and the, potholes and uneven pavement are not even noticed. I would recommend to anyone who has tires that are unsatisfactory to buy these, they improved our drive and ride more than 80%.. I am pleased as is my husband who chose the tires. the tires are better with dealing the gravel and dirt roads of the country. We haven't had them long enough to try them in the snow and Ice but the type of tire we purchased they are ment to be better than average for those conditions.
