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!

Tire exploded 235/65R17

After I had just started my car, my child and I heard a loud pop as car dropped down. The rear driver tire popped/exploded. Thank god this didn't happen on the highway. I bought 4 of these tires only a few months ago. I check the pressure and inflate only to the indicated pressure. I'm not at all excited about getting a replacement tire. I wish I could get the entire set changed to a different tire. 10/21/2024

Great Tires Hands Down

After many hours of research, I decided on these tires. These tires perform amazingly well. Smooth and quite ride. On dry road or wet they grab the road. Around bends or through tight corners, performance and design exceeds expectations.

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!

They do their job

They do their job. Car feels good to drive on and I like that they are run flats. I did. have some issues with one of the tires losing air during cooler months, but it resolved it self and I only needed to put air in a couple times.

Tire lasted 2 weeks

This very expensive tire lasted 2 weeks before we got a flat. Dealer said there is no repair warranty on Bridgestone Runflat tires. You just need to buy a new tire and that is how runflat tires work. Do not buy Bridgestone RunFlat tires!

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.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Local Bridgestone retailer stated these are not repairable in case of a flat, therefore are ineligible for repair / replacement certificate. will need to replace every time after puncture. NOT worth the expense .

Comfort and Quiet

Replaced the Pirelli p zeros that came with the car, and couldn't be happier. Everything improved from handling to comfort and road noise. Excellent tire.

Peace of mind

Twice I have had a flat that the tire was not repairable but it did it's job and we were able to get to our destination and get it replaced. I have since got a spare JIC on trips from home.
