Bridgestone DriveGuard Run Flat

Yes, the Bridgestone DriveGuard is a run-flat tire, meaning it can temporarily support the vehicle's weight even after a complete loss of air pressure. Using Bridgestone’s proprietary NanoPro-Tech sidewall technology, the DriveGuard can continue to drive for up to 50 miles at speeds up to 50 mph after a puncture. This feature provides drivers with extra safety and convenience, allowing them to reach a repair facility without requiring an immediate tire change.

Yes, the Bridgestone DriveGuard is designed with noise reduction in mind to provide a quiet driving experience. Its asymmetric tread pattern and optimized contact patch help to minimize tread noise by promoting even wear and reducing vibrations. Additionally, the carefully engineered tread grooves are shaped to channel air smoothly through the footprint, further enhancing overall driving comfort with reduced road noise.

Bridgestone DriveGuard tires are manufactured in Bridgestone’s global network of production facilities, which include plants in the United States, Japan, and other countries. The exact manufacturing location for a specific DriveGuard tire depends on factors such as tire size and regional market demand.

Yes, the Bridgestone DriveGuard is designed for year-round use, providing confident performance in a wide range of weather conditions. Its advanced silica-enhanced all-season tread compound and asymmetric tread pattern work together to ensure solid traction on dry, wet, and even light snowy roads.

Yes, the Bridgestone DriveGuard performs well on wet roads due to its advanced tread design and circumferential and cross grooves. These grooves efficiently channel water away from the tire’s contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and enhancing wet traction.

Yes, the Bridgestone DriveGuard is designed with fuel efficiency in mind. The optimized contact patch reduces unnecessary friction and rolling resistance, allowing the tire to roll more smoothly and consume less fuel. Combined with Bridgestone’s advanced tread compound, this results in improved fuel economy and reduced environmental impact over the life of the tire.
