Dodge Journey Tires
Chevrolet’s Trailblazer was introduced in 1999 as a more upscale version of the S-10 Blazer, and was powered by a big inline 6-cylinder engine, with a V8 option. All Trailblazers were four-wheel drive, with the exception of all-wheel drive for the SS model (which also featured the Corvette’s LS2 V8). Though it’s been quite a long time ago, the Trailblazer was applauded by the automotive press and was named North American Truck of the Year, with the 4.2L engine being named to Ward’s 10 Best Engines. Trim levels included LS, LT, LTZ, and the performance-oriented SS, with advanced-for-the-time features like a Bose six-speaker audio setup, touchscreen GPS, heated front seats, OnStar, and more. The Trailblazer was offered as an EXT model as well, with third-row seating and a raised roofline to accommodate rear passengers. All in all, the Trailblazer was a comfortable, capable midsize SUV from Chevrolet, although it was replaced by the Traverse crossover in model year 2010. The final Trailblazer was also one of the very last tires to come from GM’s Moraine, Ohio plant a week before its closure.

The Alenza A-S Ultra might be a relative newcomer to the Alenza tire family from Bridgestone, but it offers a luxurious ride with responsive handling, and long, even tread wear. Bridgestone starts out with an advanced silica-based tread compound that’s designed for enhanced wet-weather traction, long wear, and noise reduction. It’s molded into an asymmetric
