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!

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.

Hated Driveguard, Luv Driveguard Plus

A happy day when I replaced my noisy and harsh Driveguards with the Driveguard Plus. Don't get me wrong, the Driveguards were much better than the Pirelli P7 RFs, but the the Driveguard Plus is miles better than the Driveguards. I now enjoy driving on the windy back roads in my town without intrusion of tire noise that I look for any opportunity to run out to the store. Big thanks to the tire engineers at Bridgestone, you made driving fun again!
