About This Tire

The Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus 225/45R18 is an all-season tire designed for sedan, coupe, CUV and SUV drivers who prioritize run-flat safety technology and year-round traction in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and all-season compound focus on maintaining mobility after punctures while delivering balanced wet and dry performance. This tire features Bridgestone's next-generation run-flat technology that allows continued driving for up to 50 miles at speeds up to 50 mph after a puncture, making it suitable for TPMS-equipped vehicles.

The construction includes stiffer outboard shoulder blocks for cornering stability, while the inboard section emphasizes grip in inclement weather conditions including light snow. Zero-degree draft angle circumferential grooves and open shoulder slots work to resist hydroplaning. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry handling capabilities, with good comfort levels and predictable treadwear performance in daily use.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability with the added security of run-flat capability. Overall, it's a solid choice for luxury vehicle owners used primarily for daily commuting and highway driving in varied weather conditions.
