Does this tire fit your vehicle?

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.

Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tires are for drivers who want a combination of sophisticated low-profile tires/large rim diameter wheels to enhance their vehicle's appearance with all-season versatility, including traction in light snow. Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tires branded with the M+S symbol are sometimes used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on 2WD and 4WD light- and medium-duty crossover and sport utility vehicles.

O.E. Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season 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.

...They have fantastic wet traction...

These are the original tires that came equipped on my BMW X5 - this review is about the "star" BMW version of this tire. I have had these on the car for 23,600 miles and they still look very very good. I'm expecting to get at least 50k out of a set with the way it's currently wearing, which is really great. They have fantastic wet traction, very comfortable and quiet. I really can't come up with any negatives for these tires yet. I will update as they wear.

...Ive driven in several heavy rain storms with these tires and the vehicle feels extremely planted and does not hydroplane...

My vehicle came from the factory with the Bridgestone DUELER H/L 400 RFT. Night and day difference switching to the alenza's. These tires don't even feel like run-flats. The vehicle is extremely quiet now and doesn't crash over bumps like it used to with the duelers. Ive driven in several heavy rain storms with these tires and the vehicle feels extremely planted and does not hydroplane. The steering response and handling feel a little softer and turn in isnt as sharp as it used to be. But still handles extremely well for an SUV. Will update review once these see snow. So far loving the alenzas!!

I rarely slow down on rain-slick roads and have found these tires stick to the roads when wet...

I am on my 2nd set of these great tires. I'm not a fan of rft's but these tires are helping me to like them. I drive hard and mostly fast. I like to be first off the line at a stoplight and hate it when someone passes me while I am going the speed limit, which is often. I drive hard in corners and usually go about 15-20mph or more around corners. I've taken a BMW high-performance driving school which I believe made me not only a safer driver but a faster one too. This past winter, I drove in 6-8" of snow and had no problems. All wheel drive helps too. I rarely slow down on rain-slick roads and have found these tires stick to the roads when wet. Cornering?!?! Love it. They're not Michelin Pilots but they're darned close to it.

...I have also driven the vehicle in light snow here in Illinois. In my opinion, these tires do a better job in the light snow...

My 2018 BMW X5 came with Michelin Latitude HP Run-Flat tires as OE fitment. I took delivery of the vehicle on a day when the roads were covered with fresh snow. The tires were unable to get acceptable traction in light snow conditions. Even at that time, I made the decision to replace those tires early in their life cycle because of this performance characteristic. Customer reviews of both the Michelin Latitude and the Pirelli Scorpion Run-Flats on the Tire Rack website were not giving strong endorsements on either brand. While checking out the Tire Rack website last fall, I saw a new option on Run-Flats was being offered. That was the Bridgestome Alenza Sport A/S RFT tires. The tire was so new, there were not even any customer reviews to read. I figured the Bridgestone product couldn't be any worse so I placed the order. It should be noted that the Michelins only had 23,000 miles, and there was still 3mm of tread above the wear bars. I have only put 3,500 miles on the Alenza tires which included a winter trip to Connecticut from Illinois. I have also driven the vehicle in light snow here in Illinois. In my opinion, these tires do a better job in the light snow. They are also relatively quiet for Run-Flats and ride quality is very acceptable. My view is that Bridgestone applied some of their tread design engineering of the Blizzak line to the Alenza product. These tires were OE fitment on Mercedes SUVs and since then, BMW has made them OE fitment on the new BMW X7. This early in the game, I have no idea of tread life, but I do monitor tire pressure regularly and I do rotate tires on a regular basis. I believe on SUV applications, this is critical to good tire life. In summary, I am quite satisfied with my purchase decision at this point in the life cycle of these tires.

...in winter climates, you want snow tires, not these...

I drove from Florida to Utah not realizing the low tire pressure reading was caused by a nail puncture rather than an annoying slow leak. In Utah, the tire was repaired. Obviously, I would never knowingly repeat the experience. But I was deeply impressed that the tire performed flawlessly in "run flat" mode. I'm now on my second set of the Allenza Sport A/S RFTs, and very pleased with them all-around. Caveat: in winter climates, you want snow tires, not these (I use the Bridgestone Blizzaks.)

...It corners great and does not flatten out in hard corners...

I've had other runflat ties and didn't like them but this Bridgestone is wonderful. It almost reminds me of a Michelin Pilot. It corners great and does not flatten out in hard corners. Due to having all wheel drive, I can stomp it at stop lights during a hard rain and not spin a tire. The turbo lights up and I am first off the line. Still no spinning. Road noise is about as good as can be. It is not as quiet as pilots but on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being loud, I rate the noise level at 3. I've yet to encounter hydroplaning very much. I haven't seen any snow yet.

...Very good handling for higher performance and heavier SUVs...

This is my second set of this exact tire. I bought them on Tire Rack because they are good performing tires at half the cost of comparable Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires.
My first set would have lasted close to forever more, except that they became really hard and noisy at 65% worn. It took me four and a half years to drive 23,000 miles.
These tires are very wide with a low profile. Very good handling for higher performance and heavier SUVs.

I don't like driving - so my M.O. is to drive as fast as I can to get it over with. That is what I tell the cops. Some of them are understanding.

My X5 has no spare tire, so I need bulletproof tires. These babies are the best for an amazing price of under $160 ea.

Very quiet and very smooth !...

Very happy!! My SUV runs like it just came out from the showroom. Very quiet and very smooth ! This is the first time I bought tires online and I’m glad
I made the purchase.
It was on sale for $716 and its RFT tires which I didn’t know until the day of the installation. It was a bonus indeed!!

I have had the same tire before but not the run flat series. I'm not sure if that makes a difference, but these had the worst tread ware I have ever seen on any tire. 11 months and under 20k miles and they are bald.
