Hi, my 2022 X3 came with the Bridgestone Alenza much to my disappointment. Why did BMW elect to use what appears to be an unusual tire size of 245/50/19? Show more Hi, my 2022 X3 came with the Bridgestone Alenza much to my disappointment. Why did BMW elect to use what appears to be an unusual tire size of 245/50/19? Was it to provide Bridgestone with an advantage of corning that particular tire size?
In that size, there really is limited other options, and nothing in an all season OEM spec, yet in the US they seem to much greater choice, especially for all seasons. Show less
October 23, 2022
Vehicle manufacturers select their tire sizes based on many factors, at a guess this rather narrow tire will be to improve the rolling resistance for the co2 rating, but naturally it gives the OE tire manufactures an advantage when selling replacement tires too.

Bridgestone Alenza 001 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 55 reviews

The Bridgestone Alenza 001 receives mixed owner feedback, with dry grip and handling its clearer positives and road noise its most frequent complaint. Around a third of owners describe it as noisy, although some find it quiet. Tread life divides opinion, with 14 praising it and 11 criticising it among 49 owners discussing specific aspects, while wet grip is evenly split. Around one in eight criticise ride comfort or uneven wear. All three repeat reviewers lowered their scores on returning, but their reasons differ, so this does not establish a single ageing pattern.

“The Bridgestone Alenza RFT in 245/40R21 front and 275/35R21 rear is a very average tire. It’s okay but not great. Grip is acceptable in dry conditions, but in the wet it can slip when pushed, although the AWD system...”

The tires were so noisy in the cabin that I decided to change them for Continental. I sold them and have not contacted the buyer again, but I know that he fitted them on a Rav 4.

Impressive wear across the tread, on a 2.2 tonne 4WD & 4 wheel steer SUV.

Even with a nail in tread, held up well.

Quite noisy externally and internally, and grip in ice/snow is not great especially braking.

What ever you do, do not buy these tires. After driving just 5,000 km, all four tires had identical, catastrophic structural carcass failure (delamination/belt separation).
Attached figure tells the story.
To be clear:
Tire Pressures: Checked regularly and kept consistently between 2.6 and 2.8 bar.
Vehicle Condition: Inspected directly by an authorized main dealer, suspension, alignment, and vehicle geometry are fine.
Road: Around 1000km during summer time on dirt road and the rest in normal city conditions on paved road.

To make matters worse, Bridgestone customer service has completely ignored all complaints and claim the road. Just wondering should a premium tire be in this condition after 1000km on unpaved road. On Bridgestone case apparently yes..!

These are fitted as Mazda CX5 OEM.
I was sceptical because of my previous use of some older Bridgestone models. But what a pleasant surprice these Alenza's....Comfortable, predictable, direct, exceptional dry braking and they're quiet really quiet. Only slight weakness for me is straight aquaplaninig, it's strange because in curves the grip is very good...but last week there was a lot of heavy rains in Greece and maybe the water was too deep.
I deffinately recommend these Bridgestones and next time buying tires they will be in my short list if the price is on par or lower than Pirelli Cinturato p2.
I have some expirience with Michelin Primacy 4 and Good Year models but for my driving stile and landscape that Bridgone Alenza is superior.

These tires came as stock tires on my Lexus 2023 UX250h.
As they are RF model they were wearing very slowly but I hated the road noise since I drive mostly on motorway 90% For the performance they are good but heavy… once I was fed up with them even after 40000miles /60000km the treads were not showing any aging. I’m a commuter on Irish motorway so basically not much of an action for tires. If you want longevity I can recommend them if you want comfort forget them and look something else.

    The tires came as standard on my Lexus UX250H in 2023. Now, after 55k/km, they still have 5mm treads. So they do last, but the drawback is the noise they produce as they are RFT. Now I'm looking for something quieter, as most of my kilometers are completed on the Motorway and at high speeds; the noise is important. If I were driving at low speeds up to 60km/h and a hint of a motorway, I would definitely stick to these tires as they perform exceptionally well in both dry and wet conditions, especially here in Ireland, with no extreme low temperatures or snow these are right on spot for city commuting.

For thirty years have used Continental as replacements on all my cars, passenger and 4WD. The Alenza's are softish, comfortable and quiet on Macadam hotmix, less so on top flush blue metal road surfaces. They handle very well. They are not appropriate for long distance gravel, too fine a tread for Australian gravel and corrugated conditions. Their replacements will likely be Pirelli Scorpion which are an all-round excellent performer on AWD vehicles. While Subaru have elected to use Alenza instead of Geolanders to perhaps placate city dwellers I consider the Yokohama a superior tire on gravel. On my passenger cars the Continentals yield about 46,000 k's, on my Land Rovers about 70,000. On my current Holden V8 Sportwagon I recently fitted Pirelli Powergy, a softer but quieter and better handling tire than Conti's. I don't expect the Pirellis or the Alenza to last as long as the Conti's but accept the trade-off of handling and noise. Not impressed this quiz is tuned for the US market, some Subarus shown on the dropdown are not sold here and the model I own is not listed; lift your game.

    Subaru Outback Touring XT: For many years Subaru fitted Yokohama Geolanders to Outback and Forester, they being the best compromise for bitumen and gravel roads. Those cars are "all road" cars, pitched at people who did a lot of touring, bush adventuring and so on - "See You Out There". Alenza a much quieter, softer, better handling tire than Geolander on bitumen but poor performance on gravel. Subaru have surrendered to the city drivers? The adventurers now relegated to also-ran's? I am replacing my Alenzas with Pirelli Scorpion.

your tires are on a Mazda CX 60 which I purchased at just over 4 months old, I pointed out to the Salesman the cracking to the tire walls at point of purchase only to be told it "wasnt a problem for safety or road worthiness, the problem is and has got much worse on all 4 tires, and has now been noted on my latest MOT as "advisory problem". Having spoken to Mazda and Bridgestone tire technical Director on several Occasions since my purchase I have been told to buy a new set of tires and return the defective ones which "may" offer me a credit !! if found to be " not fit for purpose" by Bridgestone. On a new 4 month car with less than 1500 miles on the dial this should not have occured .
I will never buy a car again with Bridgestone tires and will not be buying another Mazda.

  1. Initial Impressions22% 5,000 miles
    Main problem with above tires on my CX 60 is that all four tires are splitting on the walls and treads at junction corners both externally and internally facing the floor panel, this problem has existed within a few months of purchase when the vehicle was new, Mazda say there is nothing wrong with them and are safe to drive on, the car has done less than 10k miles in 3years but driven regularly. Mazda local dealer has offered to change the tires at my expense and send them to Bridgestone for inspection and testing and depending on results may partly compensate me !! So I have to spend nearly £800 to go through this process while the vehicle is under the Mazda warranty. Mazda UK have not been helpful at all in recognising the problem.
