💡 Is the Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus 215/50R17 a Good Tire?
The Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus 215/50R17 is an all-season touring tire designed for mid-size sedans and compact crossovers. It delivers solid dry and wet performance with run-flat capability thanks to its reinforced sidewall construction and NanoPro-Tech compound. Ride comfort is good with controlled road noise, though the reinforced sidewalls create a slightly firmer feel than standard tires. Tread life is competitive for its category, balancing durability with the added weight of run-flat construction. Rated Good by TireRack based on 271 consumer surveys, it excels in puncture protection but comes with the typical run-flat trade-offs of increased weight and cost. Currently priced from $249.99, it is available through major online tire retailers.

The Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus 215/50R17 is an all-season tire designed for sedan, coupe, CUV and SUV drivers who prioritize luxury comfort and run-flat safety capabilities in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on maintaining mobility after puncture while delivering enhanced year-round traction, including light snow performance.
The 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 regardless of original equipment. The durable all-season compound is molded into an asymmetric pattern with stiffer outboard shoulder blocks for stable cornering and braking, while the inboard section focuses on inclement weather grip. Zero-degree draft angle circumferential grooves and open shoulder slots help increase hydroplaning resistance. Driver feedback points to excellent wet and dry handling performance, with good comfort levels and predictable treadwear in daily use.
Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability with the added benefit of run-flat peace of mind. Overall, it's a solid choice for luxury vehicle owners used primarily for daily commuting and touring in varied weather conditions.
