New Tires

Great service from Dubois County Tire on helping me select a Run Flat Tire. Previous Run Flat Tires have saved me twice before. No rim or body damage either time while running at highway speeds when tire went down and was able to continue on towards our destination. Highly recommend these type tires.

Much improved

I drove on Driveguards previous version (2 sets in fact) and was never truly satisfied. They produced some road noise and never felt smooth/comfortable. The new 'plus' tire is much improved in these 2 features, and seems to maintain all other positives. This might be the best run flat tire out there now - certainly for the price!

Driveguard run flats on Tesla M3

Bought Bridgestone run flats for my Tesla. I was surprised that my energy use on the first long drive was about 133 Wh/km which is equal to or a bit lower than my OEM Michelin MxM4 that came with the car and had 4/32 tread left. Normally new tires, whatever the make use more power when new because of the tread dept. They are quieter than the Michelins despite not having the EV tunes foam inside the tires like the old Michelins . Ride and handling is great. Very happy so far
