The Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is a premium all-season grand touring tire designed for drivers of sedans, coupes, crossovers, and SUVs who demand enhanced luxury with advanced run-flat capabilities. This tire combines touring comfort with year-round confidence, delivering improved performance and extended mobility when you need it most.
Next-Generation Run-Flat Technology: Engineered with Bridgestone's advanced run-flat design, the DriveGuard Plus allows you to continue driving up to 50 miles at speeds up to 50 mph after a puncture or complete loss of air pressure, providing peace of mind and eliminating the need for an immediate roadside tire change.
Superior All-Weather Performance: The asymmetric tread pattern features a durable all-season compound with stiffer shoulder blocks on the outside to promote exceptional cornering stability and braking control. Full-depth circumferential grooves and open shoulder slots evacuate water efficiently to resist hydroplaning on wet roads. Advanced 3D siping technology increases biting edges for enhanced wet road and winter traction, stopping 40 feet shorter in snow compared to the original DriveGuard.
