About This Tire

The Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus 245/45R18 is an all-season tire, designed for sedan, coupe, CUV and SUV drivers who prioritize run-flat capability and year-round traction in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and all-season compound focus on maintaining mobility after punctures while delivering balanced performance in wet, dry, and light snow conditions.

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. The construction includes stiffer outboard shoulder blocks for cornering stability, an inboard section optimized for inclement weather grip, and circumferential grooves with open shoulder slots to resist hydroplaning. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance with good comfort levels and reliable treadwear characteristics.

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 sedans and crossovers used primarily for daily driving and highway travel where puncture protection is valued.
