About This Tire

The Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus 245/45R19 is an all-season tire, designed for sedan, coupe, CUV and SUV drivers who prioritize luxury comfort and run-flat peace of mind in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on year-round traction balance with self-supporting technology that maintains mobility after punctures.

The tire features Bridgestone's next-generation run-flat construction that allows continued driving up to 50 miles at 50 mph after a puncture, making it ideal for TPMS-equipped vehicles. The asymmetric tread pattern uses stiffer outboard shoulder blocks for stable cornering and braking, while the inboard section focuses on wet weather grip. Zero-degree draft angle circumferential grooves and open shoulder slots help resist hydroplaning. Driver feedback points to excellent wet and dry performance with good comfort levels and predictable response 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 sedans and crossovers used primarily for daily commuting and highway driving in varied weather conditions.
