    Not listed as a proper tire size for this vehicle, but they have been a great substitute. No speedometer and/or computer trouble, at all. They are the best Run Flat tire we have run on this vehicle in the nearly 110,000 miles we have driven it. Definitely give them a thumbs up and the Tire Rack purchase was as painless and trouble free as it could be.

    These tires have been my choice the last 3 times I needed tires. They are great all around tires so if you live anywhere with seasonal snow these are great. Everyday driving great grip,you won't have a problem if you like to drive fast but probably not best choice for track. Really good in the wet and confident in snow.

    My car has always been on run flat tires, and my last two were oem Pirelli Cinturatos and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ RF. I chose the Bridgestone Driveguard Plus tires this time around because this is a run flat that advertises it rides like a conventional tire. Because most probably consider the Driveguards for better ride quality in run flats, let me address that first. In terms of ride comfort, the smaller impacts are noticeably softer, such as over small pavement cracks or manhole covers. The medium to larger size impacts are still harsh and don't feel any different from previous run flats I've had. Noise, however is disappointing. There is a constant rumble, like the tire is always driving over rough pavement. It's most noticeable from 30-40 mph, but remains even at highway speeds. It's louder than both the Pirellis and Michelins. I have a feeling it'll only get worse as the tire ages, and is disappointing since Bridgestone advertised these as the quiet, comfortable run flat tire, which isn't all that true. Performance wise, they're average - the amount of wet and dry grip is similar to the Pirelli Cinturatos (and definitely way behind the Michelins, which is expected since that was a performance run flat). A couple interesting notes here - on wet roads, my steering gets really light and almost feels like the front wheels may lose traction any moment, which is not something I've felt in either of my previous tires. A second issue is that after I installed these tires, there's been a very slight vibration between 50-60 mph - it's gotten better with a couple of more rotations and rebalances, but this never happened with my Michelins. I suspect the tires themselves may be the culprit. So at the end of the day, I personally don't feel like I gained enough ride comfort to sacrifice some of the other characteristics. It's an "ok" tire - not a horrible tire, but I probably wouldn't purchase again.
