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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Cadillac ats

The run flat tires are great but they are so noisy, it sounds like I'm driving a 4 wheel truck. Traction is great and very positive on cornering. Haven't driven in snow yet but my ATS is all wheel drive so it should be good. I wish I purchased a spare tire and went without run flat tires. I just hate the road noise from them.

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!

Outstanding Run Flat Tires

These tires are so comfortable and quiet that it's hard to believe they're run-flats! The dry and wet traction is excellent, too. All in all, it is an outstanding replacement tire; I highly recommend it!

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.

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 .
