Excellent so far

I bought these tires to replace the Michelin mxm4 runflat tires that were the original tire on my 2017 BMW 740 ix. These tires are currently approximately $40 per tire less expensive than the Michelins and have a longer warranty of 65,000 miles compared to Michelin's 30,000 mile warranty. So far so good. After 2 months of use, I see absolutely no difference in performance or comfort compared to the Michelins. Based on cost and warranty, this choice seems to be a no-brainer!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
