Run as fast as you can away from Driveguard

I purchased four of these tires and they did not make it 10k miles. In just 2 years, two of the tires had a tread rating of 3/32 and the other 2 had a tread rating of 4/32. Hard to be loyal to a tire that has zero durability Upon calling the warranty department, they informed that their tires aren't guaranteed for the 50K mileage that they generously market to consumers. They would only prorate one tire. And they wouldn't even address the wear on the others by standing by their product. What product do you know only last 10% of it's expected life, yet the manufacturer wants you to spend good money over bad to replace them? Buyer beware on both the tire and the manufacturer.

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

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!

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!

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>

Cadillac ats

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.

Initial impressions

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.

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.

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.

Run Flat is real

Had a right front failure after hitting a cattle guard in the middle of the Arizona desert near the Grand Canyon. Tire made it 200 miles at 45 MPH with a 3 inch rip in the sidewall. Superior run flat capabilities!
