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.

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.

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!

The run flat tires are great but they are so noisy, it sounds like I'm driving a 4 wheel truck. Traction is great and very positive on cornering. Haven't driven in snow yet but my ATS is all wheel drive so it should be good. I wish I purchased a spare tire and went without run flat tires. I just hate the road noise from them.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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
