Bridgestone Alenza A/S 02

OVERVIEW

The Bridgestone Alenza A/S 02 (LX) is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for light trucks and SUVs. This is an LX as it is the original equipment of select vehicles.

The model upgrades its controllability and driving stability. The ideal tread pattern and the special silica compound improve the tire’s contact with the driving surface. It improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire’s steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver’s instructions, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. At the same time, the optimized tread elements upgrade the tire’s cornering and maneuvering during the performance. These elements ensure a safe driving experience, while the driver has full control over the vehicle.

The ideal tread pattern and the all season compound boost the tire’s year-round performance. The optimized tread elements and the all season compound upgrade the tire’s traction in dry, wet, and winter-weather conditions. The optimized tread elements firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges, while the special silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. Circumferential grooves resist hydroplaning on wet roads. These grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint and optimize the tire’s road contact.

This is a run flat tire model. The reinforced internal structure maintains the weight of the vehicle and its passengers even after air pressure loss. This enables the tire to be driven for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph. This limited, temporary performance protects the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road. Instead, it can arrive at a nearby location where the damaged tire can be changed or fixed. This combination ensures a safe driving experience.

The Bridgestone Alenza A/S 02 (LX) offers a longer-lasting tread life. The ribbed tread design and the special silica compound enable the tire to resist irregular and premature wear formations. In this manner, the optimized tread elements evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area, while the special silica compound slows the treadwear rate down. This reduced and even wear lengthens the tire’s service life and usability.

Not all tire sizes are suitable for all vehicle types. Please refer to the item specifications for accurate information about vehicle type fitment for this particular size.

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.
