Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra 255/60R18, All Season, Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: All Season Traction; High Speed Handling; Longer Lasting Service Life; Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra TiresThe Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra is a performance and high performance, all season tire made for SUVs. This model is available in some touring sizes as well. Bridgestone also offers an 80,000 mile warranty with this model. The tread pattern features siped blocks that are angled to further enhance the tire's road grip. The tire also boasts a versatile all season compound that adapts to the varying weather conditions. It maintains its flexibility whether it is steaming hot or freezing cold outside. With the abundance of biting edges, the tire can keep the traction consistent in dry, wet, and winter weather conditions. It also comes with four circumferential grooves that are responsible for self-cleaning. They eliminate slush, water, and snow from the tire's contact path, keeping the footprint clean. The tire runs with optimized road contact due to its wide and detailed tread design. It relies on its center ribs and overall flat footprint to keep close contact with the asphalt surface. This enhances its driving stability, securing the tire structure against the driving pressure affecting it. As a result, the driver can count on faster and more accurate steering responses when commanding the vehicle. This model comes with a strengthened structure that firmly holds the tire together at high speeds when the pressure gets over the roof. The tread is engineered to withstand the heat generated throughout the performance, ensuring high speed durability. The Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra is designed with long term usability in mind. The five-rib tread maximizes the tire's surface contact, offering a large contact patch for the drive. This way, both the load- and driving pressure are evenly distributed across the tread. This significantly slows down tread wear and also prevents premature wear. The sturdy all season compound also plays a huge role in resisting tread wear and preventing irregular wear formations. All these features greatly extend the tire's service life, promoting long term usability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
