Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tires for the Tacoma
« on: April 06, 2022, 05:49:22 PM »
The stock tires (Firestone Destination LE2) on the 2016 TRD Sport 4x4 were getting pretty worn out at 50K miles.  I saw in a flyer in the mail that Costco was having a sale on certain brands.  I read some reviews and in terms of what was in stock, ended up getting a set of Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra for $ 946.04.  They are supposed to do pretty well on snow for an all-season tire, and we have been getting more snow where I am.  Plus an 80K miles warranty.  I was giving serious consideration to the Michelin LTX A/T 2, but the Bridgestone are supposed to have better winter and wet performance and highway ride, according to reviews. We will see how they work out.

You are one lousy risk manager.

I hope they work out well for ya.  A few years ago I bought a set of Nokian EnTyre tires for my Ford Focus (FWD)  They were cheap at the time.  I'm pretty sure they have the 3 peak mountain-flake symbol on them.  They have been amazing tires, especially in the winter but good in the summer too.  I will definitely buy them again if I can find them.

The Honda CR-V has Michelin Defenders LTX on it.  They are good tires too but they are kinda loud like a truck tire, and Wife doesn't like that. (she's the one who insisted on Michelins)
