Review on Bridgestone Alenza 001 235/55 R19 101 year old by Jnis Brveris ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

What can I say, chose R18 on the XC60. On J. Market, almost every rubber in this price range had both positive and a bunch of negative reviews (for wear, for rutting, for aquaplaning). I searched for it and eventually spat, I decided to take the one that is newer, comparable in price and characteristics, but for which there are no reviews at all (roughly speaking blindly). So far, I don’t regret it for a month and a half, the most important plus is that in the rain, which is not uncommon here in St. Petersburg (with the exception of the last week), it goes like a tank in a straight line even in a rut, even at 130-150.

Pros
  • - It keeps the track well, I can’t say that it’s excellent, but here, it seems to me, 2.4 atmospheres also affect. In any case, there is no discomfort - No hydroplaning. I mean not at all. Before that, I had Bears, Goodyears (by the way, also the level), but here I don’t feel the water at all. Of course, only a month has ped, but I have traveled outside the Ring Road more than once, including in our usual rainy weather - A controversial plus, but since they write such minuses about Michelins and continentals, then, probably, it should be said. Here, before the World Cup, we decided to change the asphalt almost everywhere in a short hole. Therefore, in many places the top layer has been removed, in many places there is a pile of gravel and the devil knows what else. In general, I did not notice any problems with the page of such sections.
Cons
  • - Something noisy. Winter was Haka R2 Velcro and, you know, I don't really see the difference. - The tire pressure sensor began to work, after not only annealing, but active driving along the highway, and on different wheels. It’s also a very controversial point, maybe the problem is most likely in the car, but let it be, maybe the expansion from temperature is somehow uneven.
