New Driveguard Plus tires

Just had these put on my 2006 Mazda Miata. Have not driven any miles yet. I chose these because I needed a "run flat" tire and Bridgestone has a great reputation. Also, I was impressed with the tread design. Should be excellent for "wet" traction and should fight hydroplaning. I noticed that they were really quiet on the ride home!!Dennos

Initial impressions

Trying the new drive guard plus tires after two previous sets of driveguards. So far the plus tires seem to have a bit more precision in regards to handling twisty dry roads. Only one drive in rain and they performed well at highway speed. Only gripe so far is they are a bit rougher over expansion joints than the original driveguards. Am curious how they manage in a Northern Minnesota winter.

Best Run-Flats I've had!

These DriveGuard Run-Flats are the best RFs, I've had. I won't use any other brand. Great traction, low road noise (for a Run-flat), decent ride (for a Run-flat) and they stay in balance! I've had other brands and they get out of balance and are impossible to rebalance. I live in an extremely hilly part of the Bay Area (CA) and they tear up the road to my house. We also do road trips all around the state and they are wonderful. Can't recommend them enough>

Excellent so far

I bought these tires to replace the Michelin mxm4 runflat tires that were the original tire on my 2017 BMW 740 ix. These tires are currently approximately $40 per tire less expensive than the Michelins and have a longer warranty of 65,000 miles compared to Michelin's 30,000 mile warranty. So far so good. After 2 months of use, I see absolutely no difference in performance or comfort compared to the Michelins. Based on cost and warranty, this choice seems to be a no-brainer!

Garbage Tires

These are the worst tires I have ever had on a vehicle. My van has just over 82,000 miles on it, and my third set of run flat tires have worn out in less than a year. Even though my van came with run flat tires because it does not come with a spare, I am done with these crappy tires. I am putting non-run flat Michelin tires on.

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.

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.

DRIVEGUARD RUN FLAT FOR BMW

I love my new tires. They give a great ride and are very durable. I feel very safe with this tire choice and the run flat component is a great feature with added benefits.

Outstanding Run Flat Tires

These tires are so comfortable and quiet that it's hard to believe they're run-flats! The dry and wet traction is excellent, too. All in all, it is an outstanding replacement tire; I highly recommend it!

Run Flat is real

Had a right front failure after hitting a cattle guard in the middle of the Arizona desert near the Grand Canyon. Tire made it 200 miles at 45 MPH with a 3 inch rip in the sidewall. Superior run flat capabilities!
