Run as fast as you can away from Driveguard

I purchased four of these tires and they did not make it 10k miles. In just 2 years, two of the tires had a tread rating of 3/32 and the other 2 had a tread rating of 4/32. Hard to be loyal to a tire that has zero durability Upon calling the warranty department, they informed that their tires aren't guaranteed for the 50K mileage that they generously market to consumers. They would only prorate one tire. And they wouldn't even address the wear on the others by standing by their product. What product do you know only last 10% of it's expected life, yet the manufacturer wants you to spend good money over bad to replace them? Buyer beware on both the tire and the manufacturer.

Sidewall Bubbles

I just bought a pre-owned CTS that had the Driveguard tires on it. They were new enough that the tires still had the nubs on them and full tread. After about 500 miles, I notice a bubble in the right front tire. I was told, second owner NO warranty. A week later, that tire blew. Drive flat feature was great. Replaced that tire with a new one. Now I noticed ANOTHER bubble in the driver side front tire, and still no offer of assistance from the warranty department! I'll never buy another tire from Firestone.

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!
