215/50R17 Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring
Category: All Season – Grand Touring
The Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is a comfortable all-season grand touring tire with improved performance and extended mobility. It's a run-flat tire built to help you get from the point of puncture to the point of repair. The DriveGuard Plus has an improved tread design that increases stopping ability in snow and icy conditions over the original DriveGuard while continuing its superior tread life and performance. It also has a 105,000km tread life warranty for all sizes.
Run flat design allows you to still drive a short distance despite having a puncture. Must be used with a compatible vehicle and TPMS.
What these tire specs mean
Load Index 95 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 690 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
Speed Rating V indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 240 km/h under proper load and inflation.
UTQG 640 A A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
All Season tires are made for mild year round driving, but they generally do not meet Quebec winter tire requirements unless they also carry 3PMS.
XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
Run flat tires can temporarily support the vehicle after pressure loss, allowing you to keep control and drive a limited distance to service. Note that they require a compatible vehicle setup and a working TPMS system.
Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
Warranty coverage is manufacturer backed and depends on normal use, proper maintenance, rotation, inflation, and alignment conditions.
How this tire is positioned
215/50R17 Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring is positioned as a all season / all season – grand touring tire built around a 215 mm section width and 17-inch wheel fitment.

Feature wise, this tire indicates run flat construction, an XL extra load rating, load index 95 and speed rating V (~240 km/h), UTQG 640 A A when provided by the manufacturer.
