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.

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

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.

Comfort and Quiet

Replaced the Pirelli p zeros that came with the car, and couldn't be happier. Everything improved from handling to comfort and road noise. Excellent tire.

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.

Tire lasted 2 weeks

This very expensive tire lasted 2 weeks before we got a flat. Dealer said there is no repair warranty on Bridgestone Runflat tires. You just need to buy a new tire and that is how runflat tires work. Do not buy Bridgestone RunFlat tires!

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.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Local Bridgestone retailer stated these are not repairable in case of a flat, therefore are ineligible for repair / replacement certificate. will need to replace every time after puncture. NOT worth the expense .

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.

Great Tires Hands Down

After many hours of research, I decided on these tires. These tires perform amazingly well. Smooth and quite ride. On dry road or wet they grab the road. Around bends or through tight corners, performance and design exceeds expectations.
