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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 .

Great Tires

We were looking for a tire that delivered on all levels and the DriveGuard Plus was a great choice. Ride and comfort has improved with these tires.

Tire rating

These are good tires only issue is the tread seems to not do well on grooved cement roads, they tend to wonder in the lane.
