2 Bridgestone DriveGuard RFT Run Flat 205/55R16 91V All Season Tires 60000 Mile BR011510 / 205/55/16 / 2055516

This tire is a welcome addition to my car and the RFT world. My previous tires were the OEM Continentals and since getting the car, I complained to the dealer of what I perceived as wind noise not to mention road noise. Surprisingly enough, with these tires, what I thought was wind noise is gone and road noise is all but gone (depending on road surface). These tires are a huge leap forward in RFT technology. They handle as good, if not better than the previous tires and they are so much more comfortable and most of all, quiet. I am hugely pleased and impressed in how they have transformed my car.

I've had my BMW 328i for 7 years and finally switched to the Driveguards after sticking with the Contiprocontact SSRs it came with. It's completely changed the car. Within the first mile I could tell a huge difference in ride quality and road noise. It's much less harsh and noticeably quieter than the Contis. Once the usual tread squirm went away after the break in period (about 100 miles) I could also tell a huge difference in traction in both dry and wet conditions. I do some spirited driving in the mountains and the grip these tires deliver is miles better than what the car came with. It has grip that inspires confidence and you can really push these much harder than you'd ever expect from a run flat. I'll put it this way... get these tires and you can unlock a lot of potential in your car. It's also much better in the rain, especially at highway speeds. I've put a bit over 6,000 miles on these, including city driving for my commute, a lot of highway miles, and a few trips to some mountain roads. They don't necessarily look brand new but they don't show any signs of wearing out anytime soon. Honestly the only downside is a slight reduction in fuel mileage, but if you care about how your car rides and performs it's a small price to pay. In the weeks following my switch, my MPG decreased from 25.7 to ~25.1. It's now in the mid-24s but there are most likely other factors contributing to that decrease. I don't regret it at all though. So to sum up: these are literally better in every measurable way except for there being a slight drop in MPG. I promise you that it's worth it.
