Bridgestone Launches new Alenza Prestige for Your SUV, CUV, or Truck
Bridgestone Americas has introduced the new Alenza Prestige tire, designed for CUVs, SUVs, and trucks. The tire features an updated tread pattern and Bridgestone’s ENLITEN Technology, and it comes with a limited mileage warranty of up to 70,000 miles.
The Alenza Prestige uses several elements of ENLITEN Technology, including QuietTrack, an in-groove design intended to reduce tread noise, and a wide center rib that helps with handling and ride comfort. Bridgestone has also incorporated its PeakLife Polymer to improve durability and extend tread life compared to the previous generation.
According to Dale Harrigle, Chief Engineer of Tire Development at Bridgestone Americas, the tire was designed to balance ride comfort, long-lasting performance, fuel efficiency, and wet-weather traction.
In internal testing, the Alenza Prestige showed an eight-foot shorter stopping distance in wet conditions compared to the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra, and a six-foot shorter stopping distance compared to the Continental TrueContact Tour.
The tire will be available in 47 sizes, covering wheel sizes from 16 to 22 inches, with speed ratings from S to W. It will fit a range of vehicles, including models such as the Acura RDX, Audi Q7, BMW X5, GMC Sierra, Lexus TX, and Mercedes-Benz GLC. The Alenza Prestige is now on sale.
Bridgestone notes that the development of the tire aligns with its E8 Commitment, focusing on values like Ecology, Extension, and Ease.
