πŸ’‘ Is the Bridgestone Alenza 001 255/55R18 a Good Tire?

The Bridgestone Alenza 001 255/55R18 is a summer touring tire designed for mid-size SUVs and crossovers. It delivers strong dry road performance and adequate wet traction thanks to its asymmetric tread pattern and silica-enhanced compound optimized for warm weather conditions. Ride comfort is above average with controlled road noise, though tread life is moderate for its category without an extended mileage warranty. Rated Good by TireRack based on 74 consumer surveys, it excels in warm climates but is not winter-rated and requires seasonal tire changes in colder regions. Currently priced from $148.21, it is available through major online tire retailers.

About This Tire

The Bridgestone Alenza 001 255/55R18 is a summer tire, designed for crossover and SUV drivers who prioritize dry road performance and handling precision in warm weather conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on maximizing grip and responsiveness when temperatures stay above freezing, with construction optimized for larger rim diameters and lower sidewall profiles.

This Street/Sport Truck Summer tire features a compound specifically engineered for warm weather performance, delivering enhanced contact with the road surface during acceleration, cornering, and braking. The tread pattern balances solid center blocks for stability with shoulder design elements that promote cornering grip. Driver feedback indicates strong dry road handling with good wet weather capability, though the tire shows moderate treadwear characteristics typical of performance-focused summer compounds.

Compared to all-season tires, it emphasizes maximum warm-weather traction and handling response over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for crossovers and SUVs used primarily for paved road driving in regions with mild winters or as seasonal fitments.
