Very confused at the moment about if I have summer or all season tires.
2020 x3 M40i came with 245/50/19 inch wheels and what I assumed were all season tires. B driving them from 3/2020 to 2/2021.
Dealer changed all 4 in 2/2021 and replaced with what it came with.
thread was low and fixing a transfer case issue.

I am now to find out that they are summer tires.

ugh.

is there any way that they have an all season version of this tire? (Alenza 245/50/19 001 RFT 105W)

If no, then i survived 2020 winter and 2021 winter with summer RFTs..

nope, the alenza 001 is a summer tire.
the all season version is the dueler.

thank you.
ughhh.

Hope we get a light winter in NY.

Not exactly correct. While the Alenza 001 is a summer tire, Bridgestone makes SEVERAL all-season Alenza tires for SUVs (such as Alenza AS Ultra, Sport A/S, Sport A/S RFT, etc). See link below:

but i did specify the alenza 001 which is what the op was asking for.
there is no alenza 001 that is all season.
exact title of this thread: "Is there a Summer and All Season version of the 19" Bridgestone Alenza 001 RFT "

my exact response:
"nope, the alenza 001 is a summer tire.
the all season version is the dueler."

the OEM X3 all season bridgestone is the dueler.

details matter. the op wasn't asking if there was an alenza all season. he was asking if there was an all season version of the Alenza 001

Although the title is asking about 19", checking on same for 20" the Tire Rack shows 0 RFT that they sell that are non-summer tires.

Screwed, if i'm to stick with 20" RFT... (without keeping separate tires for winter and summer, which i want to avoid keeping separate tires)

Based on Tire Rack, all season 20" RFT is a non-starter. wtf......

I only found out (stupid of me) that Alenza 001 RFT is summer tires. Few occasions been driving in dry/wet 20 degrees F, possibly during tad lower temp, during NC winter... shite...

Americans (and Canadians) still prefer all-season non-RFT.

You could go one size up in width to 255/45/20 and 285/40/20 and get an all season run flat. I went with this size, but in a non run flat, just waiting for delivery of them.

I know there are many, many conversations (both casual and technical) here about tires and wheels, and i wasn't planning to change the tire size or change from OE 20" wheels so mostly ignored those threads. Maybe my question below is answered and buried somewhere in those threads. But asking here if anyone know from top of the head.

Will going up on the size as suggested above, means i need new wheels (probably not since staying with 20" ???) and my current 15mm spacers setup will no longer work and cause eg. rubbing?

I’m not an expert but I believe you will be fine. That 255/45 size is the OE X3M front size I believe. Many go with 265/40 on front and 295/35 on rear but no shops local to me would mount them since the those sizes fall outside the tire manufacturers recommended wheel width range. I went with 255/45 and 285/40 because that is the widest tire that would fit the OE 699m wheels (20x8 in front and 20x9.5 in rear). My speed with the OE 245/45/20 and 275/40/20 tires is off by 2mph at 60mph and 3mph at 85mph. Bumping to the 255 amd 285 tires will help a little bit but not totally correct that. If you stick to the OE tire sizes there are a ton of all season options but you should be a spare or flat repair kit or how for the best that you are in an area with good tow service if needed.

OP stated that he was able to drive 2 winters with the summer tires on his car. For the record, when my car was delivered in February 2021 I also drove that winter on the Alenzas and didn't switch to A/S until the next winter.

Although I don't recommend driving on summer tires in the winter, the Alenzas did very well even when the temp was below freezing. There was plenty of grip. I was careful not to drive in below freezing temps when there was rain, ice, snow on the road but in the dry they were just fine.
