Has anyone tried Bridgestone Alenza Ultra A/S tires ?
Yes. Had them put on in late May after we had several days of thunderstorms that showed me how much "fun" the worn Pirellis were...
My only complaints with the tires is that they seem to be noisier and a vibration when at speed on the interstate. The vibration may be a weight problem since it didn't show up right away. They will be getting re-balanced tomorrow hopefully.
I don't beat on it much or drive it too aggressively so handling isn't a huge factor (they seem fine) but they do well in the rain.
Main reasons for buying them were:
Warranty 80k vs under 60k. That's an extra year of driving for me.
Availability. I needed then quickly.
I don't need a track tire or something sticky to commute on the interstate.
Price wasn't bad either.
