Review summary

AI-generated from verified customer reviews.

The Bridgestone DriveGuard tires receive mixed reviews, with many users appreciating their performance while others note some drawbacks.

The Bridgestone DriveGuard tires offer improved comfort and noise reduction compared to some OEM run-flat tires. They generally provide good handling and grip in various conditions. However, experiences vary significantly among users, with some reporting premature wear and vulnerability to road hazards. The tires seem to perform well in most conditions but may not be ideal for severe winter weather, particularly on ice.

Positive highlights

Good handling in dry and wet conditions. Smooth and quiet ride, especially compared to previous tire models. Provides a sense of safety and security for highway driving. Good grip and road holding abilities. Performs well in snow conditions (for some users).

Negative highlights

Some users experienced multiple tire failures due to road hazards. Poor performance on ice for severe northern weather conditions. Faster wear rate reported by some users compared to other brands. Initial "floaty" feeling during tight maneuvers, though this improves with use.

I was pleasantly surprised how road noise is improved over my previous set of Bridgestone tires. This is a dramatic decrease in road noise. I liked the price as well compared to some of the other tires that are out there.

Grips the road very nicely and smooth. Shows little wear over time. Handles well.

Gave one-star for "winter traction" because there is no category (as there should be) of ice traction and ability to brake on ice. The tires were horrible on ice. On snow, they were satisfactory. For severe northern weather conditions, I do not recommend.

This is my first tire replacement for two back tires. The front tires were replaced approximately 4 months ago.
