Great Tires

It's early in their life cycle, but so far, I'm happy with the performance, noise-levels, and ride of these tires. In direct comparison with the Michelins and Pirellis that we've used before, these have more tread-depth, appearing to have a better life-span. Water evacuation, dry handling, noise-levels, ride compliance all seem to be great.

No Flats For Me

I think my previous tires were a smoother ride but I haven't had this brand long enough to see if they are as good. Don't drive every day or for long distances. So I gave them 5 stars

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.
