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.

The stand out feature of these tires in my mind is the wet weather performance. I signed up for a track day and it turned out to be a downpour. I almost canceled but I'm so glad i didn't. these tires inspired tons of confidence in the wet and i ended up moving around a bunch of much faster cars.

Best tires I've ever had; I have them on both my E90 335i and my E92 M3. Traction is high and extremely predictable. Wet traction in our frequent Florida afternoon thunderstorms is superb. Excellent, even treadwear. What's not to like!

...These tires provide all around excellent performance and I cannot make them slide or squeal, even when pushing them quite hard!...

Expensive, but such an excellent tire. I run the same type on my 2003 SL500 (staggered) and love them…leading to me putting them on the E350 also. These tires provide all around excellent performance and I cannot make them slide or squeal, even when pushing them quite hard! Just a great product.

...Amazing on dry and wet surfaces, even the best of all tires I've installed on my car!...

The best sport tire you can find. Almost the same grip as the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup but with amazing performance on wet and especially on resistance to hydroplaning. This is by far the best tire I've put on my car and I am very demanding. Amazing on dry and wet surfaces, even the treadwear is the best of all tires I've installed on my car!
Highly recommended.

...The ride comfort is amazing and the road noise is much reduced. I can actually hear my engine!...

These Michelin's are far superior to my OE Goodyear's. The ride comfort is amazing and the road noise is much reduced. I can actually hear my engine! My car handles and tracks much better than with the OE tires. I didn't rate the treadwear because I've only had the tires for a short time. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for new tires for their vehicle.

...Really cannot tolerate the noise and hard ride of the PZero... These Michelin PSS instantly improve ride qualify and comfort, because it is softer tires, when cornering on undulated road, it much more forgiving and hence better grip thru out...

Replaced my P-Zero after 4K militate.. Really cannot tolerate the noise and hard ride of the PZero... These Michelin PSS instantly improve ride qualify and comfort, because it is softer tires, when cornering on undulated road, it much more forgiving and hence better grip thru out. The wet weather condition is much improved. No aqua planning. I regularly cruising at highway speed exceed 180kph. On many occasions, PZero is unsafe on wet pouring rain, I often reduce my speed down to below 80kph and need to avoid puddles of water.

...I like how sharp the steering feels while maintaining a comfortable ride, a very impressive feat...

Now that I have 20,000 miles on these tires, I have experienced them through two full years of spirited driving through Pittsburgh's hilly roads and combined highway driving. I use my car mainly for a fun commute towork and the occasional track day when I have time (1-2 times per year). I do not have any experience driving these in snow but I have driven them in cold weather conditions below freezing. When I was looking for a tire to replace BF Goodrich Eagle summer tires (Not impressed with those tires), I wanted to find a tire that can combine sporty driving in dry and wet conditions, provide a semi-comfortable ride on my daily commute, can provide the responsive and sharp steering response while at the track and can provide at least 30,000 miles of tread life with my lead foot. It was a lot to ask so I figured if I get 75% of what I'm asking for it would be good enough. Well I can say this, this tire exceeded my expectations in most of the those categories, I like how sharp the steering feels while maintaining a comfortable ride, a very impressive feat. I cannot speak for the tread life getting me to 30,000 miles as I see that my rear tires are wearing considerably and may not get me to that goal with my driving style on the rear wheel drive M3 (I guess thats expected). My front tires have enough tread to likely last approx. 2 rear tire cycles so that probably gives you an idea of the wear on the tire without the heavy acceleration. There is lots to talk about these tires, so the reviews gave me the info I needed to make the right decision. Overall I summarize this tire as a good fit for sport oriented vehicles that are on the road for three season driving (except winter), it combines high cornering traction, steering confidence, good tread life with spirited driving even on the odd track day, confidence inspiring wet traction on rainy days and more. Can't speak highly enough of this tire for achieving these goals, I believe Michelin really raised the bar here

...For the performance capability of the tire, The treadwear is fantastic and I fully expect to get 30,000 miles out of a set of tires.

One of the best performance tires available and I wouldnt hesitate to take these onto a wet race course as the Wet traction is even more amazing to me than the dry traction. For the performance capability of the tire, The treadwear is fantastic and I fully expect to get 30,000 miles out of a set of tires.

...Treadwear is noticeable - these are not 60,000 mile tires by any stretch of the imagination - but not objectionable given the grip, comfort, and respose they give...

I replaced the OEM runflats with these and have never been happier! The traction - wet and dry - is significantly better than the OEMs! Road noise and ride comfort are extremely improved. Treadwear is noticeable - these are not 60,000 mile tires by any stretch of the imagination - but not objectionable given the grip, comfort, and respose they give. I ran these in an autocross - my first ever - and finished in the middle of my class on these tires. The car went where I intended it to and were very predictable.

I recommend these for any performance driving!
