Agreed on the alenza. Bought my 2006 Denali from the same dealer that sold it new after it took it back as a trade in from its previous owner and the dealer put brand new alenzas on the stock 17s and I absolutely hated them. Won’t ever go back to those lol.
He's consistently hated them for a while now. Has always said they're terrible in the rain (and maybe snow, too). I haven't found them to be terrible at all. Nonetheless, I'll be going to something else when I get new tires.
Had them on my previous ride 2010 Yukon XL. Great tire, but I used them for summer only. Bridgestone Blizzaks for the winter.
They sucked cornering up and down the mountain roads. Way too soft. They had zero traction in the small amount of snow that we got that first winter that I’d owned the truck. It was not fun trying to drive. Constantly spinning out. And then I had to replace them because my sway bar end links, and pitman arm were no good which sent alignment totally out of whack. and my front tires wore down to steel belts within a couple months. That’s not the tires fault but once I had that sorted I scored my first set of Michelin LTX A/T2s, from the shop that did the alignment that were just barely used. Got them dirt cheap. They were lightyears better than the Bridgestones and never had a reason to look back.
I forgot the don’t make them for 22s in the A/T2 variant. That’s a bummer. I think I’m going back when my current defenders run out.
You can’t take that second pic of your truck with the wheel cut so that you can’t see your aftermarket rims. Come on. We need a better side shot!
No!
You are absolutely right!
Even if I lived off the mountain and only drove on dry smooth roads I still wouldn’t put Bridgestones on my rig. There’s a reason they’ve been nicknamed brickstones. They just suck all around. lol. Go with the Michelins you won’t be disappointed.
Absolutely. Just one instance of hydroplaning at about 75 miles an hour and tires are about 80% new. Told me all I need to know about Bridgestone's. You are taking your life into your own hands if you are buying Alenza's. I'll get rid of these as soon as I can get about 20,000 miles out of them. Just to say I got a little bit of good out of them. Did the same on my 21 and will on the 25 also.
75 MPH in the rain is why you see cars off the road every time it rains.. I tell my kids, SLOW DOWN IN THE RAIN.
