“A lot of our cars come with that Bridgestone. Often need replacement at only 30k km. They are also very sensitive to alignment, even slight off and the tires will wear unevenly and get noisy. Still better than the Dunlops though.”

What real owners are saying

Tire A

Bridgestone Alenza 001

Mixed

Community opinions on the Bridgestone Alenza 001 are split, largely depending on whether they are the run-flat variants. Many drivers praise their dry and wet handling, corner stability, and initial ride quality, while others criticize them for a harsh ride, noise, buzzy feedback on rough asphalt, and relatively fast treadwear. As original equipment (OE) tires on performance SUVs and crossovers, they are generally seen as capable in warm weather but poorly suited for cold temperatures, snow, or long-term tread life.

“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!”

“have the alenza 001 on my cx5 for the past 3.5 years/40.000km,been rotating every 5k km and keeping the tire pressure correct,the wear is excellent,can go another 30k kms easy and israel has tough weather. perfect straight line and corner stability,wet and dry traction is top notch as well.been driving in hell hot and pouring rain weather.drive the car fast.had all sorts of brands and tires from all season to semi slicks,from primacy to r888 in my previous cars so i know a good tire when i have one only down side is its a harsh tire after 3years but its normal with bridgestone.i strongly recommend as a sporty luxury tire.”

“If you're not satisfied with the ride, blame that on the Alenza 001 being a run-flat. Those Michelin Lattitude Sport 3 ZP tires are also run-flats. BMWoB ( BMW of Bubbaville) routinely lowers the tire pressures in their loaner cars with run-flat- tires , so people won't hate the ride and buy an Audi next time. I make a point of putting my loaner cars' tire pressures back where they're supposed to be... and that makes them ride like crap. Hopefully, you bought your X3 with the optional spare tires . That gives you the option of going with non-run-flats. The gold standard in non-run-flats in those sizes are the Michelin PS 4S (summer, max-performance) and PS A/S 4 (all-season, ultra-high-performance). Don't throw your OE Bridgestones away. There's a pretty good demand for them as used tires for lease-turn-in. BMW FS requires 4/32" of tread at lease turn-in or they can hit you with a $300/tire "excess tire wear fee."”

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
