The DriveGuard Plus is Bridgestone's Grand Touring All-Season tire designed for the drivers of sedans, coupes, CUVs and SUVs looking for enhanced luxury with self-supporting, run-flat capabilities along with increased year-round traction, even in light snow.
DriveGuard Plus features Bridgestone's next-generation run-flat technology ideal for replacement on TPMS-equipped vehicles that may, or may not have come with run-flat tires fitted from the factory. This additional capability offers the peace of mind and flexibility that mobility will be maintained even after experiencing a tire puncture for up to 50 miles at up to 50 mph.
The durable, all-season compound is molded into an asymmetric pattern with stiffer outboard shoulder blocks to promote stable cornering and braking. The inboard section is focused on grip for inclement weather. Zero-degree draft angle, circumferential grooves and open shoulder slots are utilized to help increase hydroplaning resistance. Full-depth features help maintain slippery road traction throughout the tire's life while providing consistent biting edges for traction in wintry conditions.
Construction of the DriveGuard Plus utilizes twin, steel belts with a nylon cap ply over a durable, two-ply polyester casing. Sidewalls feature added reinforcement to help temporarily support the vehicle after a puncture causes a loss of air pressure. Bridgestone's innovative Cooling Fin Design helps dissipate the heat generated during zero-pressure operation, allowing the tire to minimize some of the rigid sidewall construction required in traditional run-flat designs, helping maximize comfort.
NOTE: DriveGuard Plus run-flat tires are only recommended for vehicles that are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system.
El neumático DriveGuard Plus de Bridgestone pertenece a la categoría: Gran Turismo Para Toda Estación y fue diseñado para conductores de autos sedán, cupé, CUV y vehículos utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés), que buscan mayor lujo con neumáticos rueda flat (soportan el peso del vehículo sin la necesdidad de aire), además de mejorar la tracción durante las estaciones del año, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve.
El DriveGuard Plus posee la tecnología rueda flat de última generación de Bridgestone, ideal para neumáticos de repuesto en vehículos equipados con sistemas de control de presión de aire (TPMS, por sus siglas en inglés) que hayan venido o no con neumáticos rueda flat de fábrica. Esta capacidad adicional, proporciona la tranquilidad y flexibilidad que el neumático seguirá rodando, luego de experimentar un pinchazo, hasta 50 millas a una velocidad de 50 mph.
El compuesto de caucho durable para toda estación es moldeado en un patrón simétrico con tacos o bloques en el hombro externo más rígidos, para proporcionar mayor estabilidad al tomar curvas y frenar. La sección interna se enfoca en proporcionar tracción durante climas inclementes. Canales circunferenciales con un ángulo de inclinación de cero grados y ranuras abiertas en los hombros son utilizadas para ayudar a aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Pequeñas ranuras profundas ayudan a mantener tracción sobre superficies resbalosas durante el ciclo de vida del neumático, a la vez de proporcionar bordes adherentes consistentes que mejoran la tracción en condiciones invernales.
La construcción interna del DriveGuard Plus cuenta con correas gemelas de acero y una capa de nailon, sobre una estructura durable de dos capas de poliéster. Las paredes o flancos son reforzados para soportar el peso del vehículo luego de un pinchazo. El diseño innovador de Bridgestone, "Cooling Fin" ayuda a disipar el calor generado cuando no hay presión de aire, permitiendo minimizar la construcción rígida de las paredes requeridas en diseños tradicionales en neumáticos rueda flat, esto, también ayuda a maximizar el confort.
NOTA: Los neumáticos rueda flat DriveGuard Plus son recomendados solamente para vehículos que cuentan con un sistema de control de presión de aire.

...Quiet during the entire tire life, even wear, and great traction in snow...
After years of replacing Continental GS SSR O.E. run flat tires with more of the same, I decided to try Bridgestone Drive Guard tires. What a difference! Quiet during the entire tire life, even wear, and great traction in snow. I cannot speak to tire life as run flat tires on a Mercedes is not much more than 20K miles and I sold the car with only 10K miles on the tires. Will replace the O.E. Continental run flat tires on my new Mercedes C300 with Bridgestone Drive Guard tires when the Continental’s wear out.

...But other than that the tires feel really good in all weather types. They are effective in the snow, up to about 4 inches and slush and heavy rain.
In a staggered set up, the front tires will create a warping sound due to the outter edges of the tread wearing. The fix was to move them back and forth from left to right. But other than that the tires feel really good in all weather types. They are effective in the snow, up to about 4 inches and slush and heavy rain.

...Dry weather traction is better especially under acceleration. Overall ride is smoother and quieter in town and on the highway...
Over the last 10 years I have had 2 sets of the original Driveguard tires in addition to the OEM Michelins. This time I went with the Driveguard Plus tires and they are a huge improvement. Turn in and overall steering response are greatly improved as is high speed cornering. Dry weather traction is better especially under acceleration. Overall ride is smoother and quieter in town and on the highway. I have never had a set of tires that were such a noticeable improvement over previous ones.They make my Cadillac ATS feel new again, riding and handling as well or better than when I first got the car. I am impressed.

...I don't remember what run flats I had before through my dealership, but they were hard and made the car stiff. I love driving my car now...
This is the only All Weather Run Flat option on the market for my car and size. That being said, I LOVE these tires. I don't remember what run flats I had before through my dealership, but they were hard and made the car stiff. I love driving my car now, and I will keep buying these till I get a different car or until they stop making these tires (which will make me sad.)

...No other run-flat tire I've found comes with any tread life warrantee! Compared to the OEM Pirelli tires these are quieter, handle as good (or better), and come with a 60K mile tread-life warranty...
An excellent run-flat tire for a luxury SUV. Compared to the OEM Pirelli tires these are quieter, handle as good (or better), and come with a 60K mile tread-life warranty. No other run-flat tire I've found comes with any tread life warrantee! In addition, the included Tire Rack Road Hazard Warranty has made me a Tire Rack customer for life! My area of Pennsylvania has terrible roads so I have had 2 Bridgestone run-flat tires get punctured in the past 1.5 years. The Bridgestone fund-flats performed as expected even when low on air after a puncture, got me home, then to the tire store for replacement. Reimbursement from the Road Hazard insurance provider was prompt and effortless.
