Great Tires

It's early in their life cycle, but so far, I'm happy with the performance, noise-levels, and ride of these tires. In direct comparison with the Michelins and Pirellis that we've used before, these have more tread-depth, appearing to have a better life-span. Water evacuation, dry handling, noise-levels, ride compliance all seem to be great.

No Flats For Me

I think my previous tires were a smoother ride but I haven't had this brand long enough to see if they are as good. Don't drive every day or for long distances. So I gave them 5 stars

The nightmare is over...

A heartfelt thank you to the engineers at Bridgestone for developing a great tire. The Driveguard Plus tires have exceeded my already high expectations for these tires. The ride is very comfortable and quiet and the grip is very reassuring. I have recommended to several friends who own BMWs to swap their other runflats to these Driveguard Plus tires. Thank you Bridgestone, driving my MINI is fun again.

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

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>

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 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

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.
