About the Bridgestone Driveguard Plus

Keep Moving — Even When the Unexpected Happens

Best forEveryday commuters and families driving coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, or minivans who want year-round all-season capability combined with run-flat peace of mind.

The Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is an all-season touring tire built for coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, and minivans. Its headline feature is run-flat capability that lets drivers continue up to 50 miles at speeds under 50 mph after a puncture or sudden pressure loss. Paired with confident year-round traction and a smooth, quiet ride, it's a practical choice for everyday drivers who want added peace of mind.

An asymmetrical tread pattern works across dry, wet, and light winter surfaces to maintain handling consistency. Full-depth main grooves and open shoulder slots channel water away from the contact patch, lowering hydroplaning risk. Full-depth 3D siping bites into wet and snow-covered pavement while also promoting even wear. An inboard construction dampens road noise and vibration, and the tire carries a 65,000-mile limited tread life warranty.

Questions about this tire

What happens if I get a flat tire with the DriveGuard Plus?

The DriveGuard Plus is built with Bridgestone's run-flat technology, which allows you to keep driving for up to 50 miles at speeds no greater than 50 mph after a puncture or complete loss of air pressure. This gives you enough range to reach a service center safely rather than being stranded roadside. You should still have the tire inspected as soon as possible — run-flat mode is a temporary solution, not a permanent fix.

Is the DriveGuard Plus a good tire for wet roads?

Yes. Full-depth circumferential grooves move water efficiently out from under the tread, and open shoulder slots help maintain that drainage even as the tire wears down, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Full-depth 3D siping adds additional grip on wet pavement. Together, these features make the DriveGuard Plus a capable wet-weather tire for everyday driving conditions.

Can the DriveGuard Plus handle winter driving?

The DriveGuard Plus is an all-season tire suited for light winter conditions — think occasional snow-dusted roads or cold, wet pavement. Its 3D siping and grooved tread provide meaningful grip in those situations. However, it is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so it is not rated for moderate to severe winter conditions. Drivers who regularly face heavy snow, ice, or sustained cold temperatures should consider a dedicated winter tire.

How long should the DriveGuard Plus last?

Bridgestone backs the DriveGuard Plus with a 65,000-mile limited tread life warranty. Reaching that mileage depends on proper inflation, regular rotations, and normal driving conditions. Full-depth siping is designed to promote even wear throughout the tire's life, which supports longevity.

Is the DriveGuard Plus a quiet, comfortable tire?

Bridgestone engineered the DriveGuard Plus with an inboard tread construction specifically to reduce the road noise and vibration that reach the cabin. Most drivers in this vehicle segment — sedans, CUVs, minivans — will find the ride quality smooth and relatively quiet for a tire that also carries run-flat capability. It is a touring-category tire, so comfort is a core design priority alongside safety.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
