255/40R17 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 keeps you moving after a pressure loss — requires a compatible vehicle and a working TPMS.
What these tire specs mean
Load index 94 means each tire can carry up to 670 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
Speed rating V is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 240 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
UTQG 640 A A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
All Season tires handle mild year-round conditions well, but they’re not winter tires. In Quebec, a standard all-season doesn’t satisfy the mandatory winter tire requirement unless it specifically carries the 3PMS symbol.
Run flat tires are reinforced to support the car’s weight after losing pressure, so you can drive a limited distance to get help. They only work on vehicles designed for run flats — compatible suspension and a working TPMS — so they’re not a drop-in replacement on most cars.
Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
Warranty coverage is backed by the manufacturer and applies under normal use — regular rotations, correct inflation, and proper alignment. Keep maintenance records if you ever need to make a claim.
