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.

Better than Original Equipment Tires

My new Bridgestone Driveguard Plus tires give me better handling, better traction, a better warranty, and a quieter ride that the original equipment Pirelli tires, at a much better price. I would definitely recommend Bridgestone Driveguard Plus tires for anyone shopping for tires.

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

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

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

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!

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.

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!

Good as it gets!

This is definitely the longest wear tire I have had. 55000 on the first set now on my second set so far only been 1500 miles but ride and drive like the first set with very easy handling on steering especially in tight corners. It is a run flat tire and since my vehicle comes with no spare I still have confidence when driving on these tires.

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!
