What the Bridgestone Driveguard Plus is built for
The Bridgestone Driveguard Plus is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. Run-flat construction lets you keep driving a limited distance at reduced speed after a loss of pressure. Fitment category: Passenger Car, CAR, Performance, Touring.
Tread life and grip ratings
This tire carries a UTQG rating of 640 A A. The treadwear grade of 640 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).
Price and value
At $235.49 per tire, a full set of four costs $941.96. That is about 8% above the average of the 49 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $14.49 per 1,000 miles across the set.
