Bridgestone DriveGuard Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 26 reviews

Owners of the Bridgestone DriveGuard commonly praise its wet and dry grip, with quieter running and improved comfort also recurring, particularly after other run-flat models. Opinion is mixed overall, with half of the 26 reviews positive and an average score of 63.5%. Tread life is the clearest weakness, criticised in around two in five reviews, often after relatively modest mileages. These complaints come from owners who have used the tyre through its life, rather than just initial impressions. Around one in eight reviews mentions slower steering response or reduced feedback, although several owners are pleased with the handling.

Hi,
I have recently bought a set of bridgestone driveguard to substitute my last potenza s001 that ride 50 000 km. The bridgestone potenza s001 were fenominal to my mitsubishi lancer sportback 150 cv and 300 N/m. Now were time to substitute them. I have to say that i drive sportly and fast. Half of km i have made probably was above 200km/h and with fast turns. The other half was quitly, smooth and very zen. For weeks with reserche i decide to try the driveguard. I have them a shoet of time, so i only can comparate to the S001.
The driveguard seems to be very secure tire, with a stable sidewalls like the s001. The wear is about the same. What i don' t know is why they heat so much if i get hard with them in a few km. I don't seem they going last the same like the potenza s001.
Let see what they going to reserve to me.
When i drive more, i post again.
Sorry about the english, i'm portuguese and i love fast cars and i'm fascinate about a good tire.

Only recently fitted but these tyres have transformed the drive quality of my Mini Coupe. Highly recommended as a run-flat option.
