Great tires poor service

Great tires but unfortunately they went on sale 3 days after I purchased. Went back to get a credit and they wouldn’t give it to me. Frustrating on a $1k set of tires

Driveguard run flats for my mini

Don’t normally like run flats, but took apiece of metal out in the middle of nowhere. These were great.The best for run flats.

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.

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 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.

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!

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

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.

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.
