Bridgestone Driveguard All Season Tire For Passenger & CUV

nice

Been driving on several different model Bridgestone tires for decades and have always been impressed. So far the Driveguard is living up to the standards I expect from Bridgestone. Quiet ride, excellent traction in wet weather / rain, tires hold the road great on dry pavement & stops nicely.

Purchased a set of these drive guards for my 2019 Lincoln Nautilus less than a week ago and have put 1200 miles on them. In that time have had them up to 90MPH and have driven in torrential rains. Very satisfied with them, I notice no difference in them over the OEM tires which were Continentals that went flat three times in the last two years. Twice the OEM factory tires had to be replaced with new because they could not be repaired. Decided on these Drive Guards because of the run flat capability. Very pleased with my decision so far.

Okay tire . Decent value

I purchased a set of 4 DriveGuard RFTs from a Mavis in NJ. Within one year of having the tires installed with less than 7,500 miles on them I experienced three blow outs where the side wall cracked open unexpectedly. fortunately two of these blow outs occurred at low speeds (< 30mph) and i was able to safely pull over. the third occurred at high way speeds and was very dangerous. i'm not sure if this is a bad lot/batch of tires but this is completely unacceptable and should be investigated. i kept two of the tires if you care to have them for analysis. i discarded the first blow out not thinking that would ever happen again. at this point i have had to replace all four tires prematurely to ensure the safety of myself and my family but i remain very concerned about the quality of your products for others using them on the road today. The tires did not have any of the following issues associated with them: Puncture, cut, impact break, stone drill, bruise, bulge, snag, etc. This is a manufacturing defect or quality related issue that put my family and perhaps the family of others at risk. These tires should be recalled before someone is hurt or killed. I will never purchase bridgestone tires again.
