Bridgestone Alenza 001 vs Yokohama BluEarth E70 — Compared

“Opinions on Michelin primacy tour A/S or keeping Bridgestone Alenza 001 Its time for me to replace the tires on my iX and I'm unsure about if dropping to the touring tire would ruin the handling of the iX and drop the range. Currently on a set of Alenza 001 and I have liked their feel, handling and over all use. But for some extra tread life, would going to the primacy tours be worth it? Worried that the car would feel worse with a loss of grip and that the higher tread would reduce the range. Since I do several road trips a year which require 2-4 charging stops, I'd rather not add an extra one from a loss of 20-30 miles of total range because of tires. Anyone have experience with the Michelin primacy tour A/S? This is on a 2023 iX with the 21" wheels.”

“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."”

“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.”
