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

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.

Sidewall Bubbles

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.

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>

New Tires

Great service from Dubois County Tire on helping me select a Run Flat Tire. Previous Run Flat Tires have saved me twice before. No rim or body damage either time while running at highway speeds when tire went down and was able to continue on towards our destination. Highly recommend these type tires.

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

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!

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.

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!

Nice ride

More comfortable and smoother ride than OE Pirellis. Pirelli had more grip and performance, but were not as quiet or comfortable as Drivegard Plus tires.
