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.

What does the 255/40R17 tire size mean?

Break it down and 255/40R17 tells you three things: the tread is 255 mm wide, the sidewall stands at 40% of that — about 102 mm of rubber between road and rim — and it fits a 17-inch wheel. You’ll find this size most often on light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers.

Is the 255/40R17 Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring an All Season tire?

Yes — the 255/40R17 Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring is categorized as an All Season tire. Standard all-season tires handle mild year-round conditions but don’t meet Quebec’s mandatory winter tire requirement on their own. If you drive in Quebec between December and March, look at a dedicated winter or all-weather tire that carries the 3PMS symbol.

What does the 94V rating mean on the 255/40R17 Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring?

The 94V on the Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring breaks into two numbers: load index 94, meaning each tire carries up to 670 kg, rated to approximately 240 km/h; and speed rating V, rated to 240 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.

Is the 255/40R17 Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring 3PMS rated?

No — the Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring doesn’t carry the 3PMS symbol. If Quebec winter compliance or severe snow traction is a priority, you’d want a tire that does.

Is the 255/40R17 Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring studdable?

Studdable status is not confirmed for this tire. Reach out and we’ll check the manufacturer specs for you.

Does the 255/40R17 Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring support run flat driving?

Yes — the Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring is a run flat tire. It’s reinforced to support the vehicle after pressure loss so you can drive a limited distance to get help.

Is the 255/40R17 Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring an XL (extra load) tire?

XL status is not confirmed for this tire. If your vehicle or current tires require XL, verify with the manufacturer spec sheet before buying.

Speed rating V on the Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus – All Season Performance Run-Flat Touring corresponds to a maximum sustained speed of 240 km/h under proper load and inflation. In practice, this tells you the performance category the tire is built for — not a number to chase on public roads.
