Best Deal I Found

Needed these run flat tires for our Infiniti QX50, and Sam's had the best deal by a couple hundred dollars between the Infiniti dealership and a local tire distributor. The oly issue we had was it took more than a week to have the full set in stock. Once they were in the installation took less than an hour.

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

Run Flat tires

So far so good. Tires came in quickly and we were able to set up an installation appt the next day. Tires with the road hazard package, and installation, were the same as Just the tires at Discount Tire, so that was a decent savings.

Smooth ride

Much smoother ride than the originals on my 2019 Mini Countryman. Good grip in rain too.

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!

First experience with Drive Flat design

The tire sales person talked me into getting the DriveGuard Plus since the cost was only about $25 more than the other Bridgestone tires he offered without the drive flat capability. The ride from the new tires is not as smooth as with the old Bridgestone tires (Ecopia) I was used to. I realize the tire design is such that the drive flat capability requires the sidewalls to be stiffer. That results in the irregularities in the road surfaces to create a bumpier ride. If I ever need to drive on a flat tire it will be worth it to have lost the smoother ride. It is not clear what the impact of the rougher ride will be on the suspension, shocks and struts, but now I am worried about that. Time will tell!

No more business with Sam's Club for tires

Old wheel weights were left on all four tires. I took my car to a small independent shop and had tires rebalanced. Did not take back to Sam's because obviously if they knew how to balance the new tires they would have started by taking old weights off first . If I knew this survey was going to happen I would've taken pictures.
