Well, I Ordered The Alenzas

[RX400h]

Why take chances when the better half is doing most of the driving during the week? These Bridgestones are rated very highly - not highest, as the Goodyear Fortera is #1 - see

However, the RX400h tire size is not yet available in Fortera sizes. The Alenzas are back-ordered until the end of this month, but I think we should be okay until then. I'm going to have the dealership mount and align them (I ordered them from tirerack.com for $600 and some change). I may also have them install a trailor hitch so we can get a 4-bike rack, soon. The bike rack installs on a 2-inch hitch.

I should have some impression insight to convey within a month or so.

We've got 5500 miles on our Alenza's and love them - snow or rain - quiet, good traction, and a significant improvement over the originals. We coming up on 30,000 - OEM's nearly made 25K.

That's assuring to know - thanks! I hope to get more than 18,000 miles; maybe the alignment will help in this regard.

Check out this test I like the Alenza on braking!

Great results - thanks! I'm still waiting for the Alenzas, but the good news is that my OEM tires have a ways to go before they are worn out completely.
