Product details
Bridgestone DriveGuard
OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone DriveGuard (*) is a performance and high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This specific tire is marked with (*) as it is the original equipment of BMW vehicles. The tire is designed to be mounted on the front axle position. It has some touring sizes as well.
This model offers excellent all weather traction. The tread design and tire compound grip the road well in dry, wet and winter weather conditions, creating a versatile tire that can be used all year. The circumferential tread grooves channel water from beneath the tire's footprint, enhancing the hydroplaning resistance in dangerous situations. The tire becomes safer to use in all weather because of this feature.
The tire is a run flat model, which means the tire's reinforced sidewalls can temporarily temporarily support the weight of the vehicle and its passengers after the loss of air pressure. In the case of air pressure loss, the sidewalls support the tire and it can be driver on for 50 miles at up to 50 mph. This allows the driver to get to a safe destination to change or repair the tire, and not be stranded on the side of the road. Run flat tires are recommended for vehicles that have no space for a spare tire and they cannot be mixed with regular tires due to their heavier weight.
The run flat feature of this model is further enhanced with its heat and puncture resistance. The tread compound and the tire structure offer extra resistance against accidental damages, such as punctures. However, if a puncture does happen the tire's heat gets redistributed through the tire because the cooling fin design allows it. These features make the tire safer to drive experience.
The DriveGuard (*) offers a longer lasting tread life. The tire compound and pattern promote even wear as the forces of accelerating, braking and cornering are equally distributed along the tread area of the tire. This prevents irregular wear and the tire is usable for a longer period of time as a result.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.

Tires are almost bulletproof! (Teenage Daughter Driver)
I have had these tires on my teenage daughters car for almost a year. As a tire dealer , I saw the technology and commonsense that was in them. I can't speak to the performance and handling of the Driveguards, because I don't really every remember riding in her car. She has had three situations, two after dark that I would have had to go out to get her off of the side of the road, but each and every time she was able to make it safely to her destination or to my shop. 1. Complete hole puncture in the sidewall. (Bridgestone replaced tire for free because it was inside 1 year and 12000 miles) 2. A nail in tire that had 18 psi when she got to me 30 miles later after her TPSM light came on (We were able to safely and properly repair) 3. Impact break on the bead from a pothole. (Bridgestone replaced tire for free because it was inside 1 yr and 12000 miles) Only complaint is the ease in which the bead suffers damage on a severe impact from a pothole, but my daughter was still able to successfully navigate to a place of safety and I wasn't out on the highway late at night putting a spare on or calling a tow truck as some newer vehicles don't even come with a spare tire. There should be a commercial about my daughters trials with tire trouble just in the past year, but it has had a happy ending each time because of the Driveguard tires. I can not recommend them enough for teenage daughters ,our wives, mothers and sisters, I even put a set on my Volvo. Who wants to change a flat tire?

Great Tire - Plus the security of ride flat!
I bought these tires almost a year ago for my ES 350 and have not had a moments regret. They are as quiet or quieter than the OEM tires, have a much better warranty and the added security of being able to drive to safety if you do get a flat. Great innovation on their part!

Completely changed 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.
