Anyone tried the new Driveguard Runflats?

[Locknut]

It's safe to say that almost everyone on here hates runflat tyres, including me! However Bridgestone have launched their Driveguard Runflats which are claimed to overcome the faults of previous runflats. Has anyone here tried them yet, in particular on a BMW?

I've just had a 320D 2016 for a week with 19" pzero runflats. I thought the ride quality and grip was fantastic. Far from the RF horror stories

Latest Gen runflats are much improved again.

Anyone?

Sorry, I've not tried them so I can't help with this but I will point out that the non-RFT comparators in the test are not tyres I would consider using for performance driving.

Sorry no, but I'd love to hear from anyone who has tried them.

On another BMW specific forum plenty of people rate other run-flats as better than the old Potenza's, although the majority tend to go for non RFTs.

I had a 123d for over 6 years with Pirelli RFTs and never really had a problem with them, but they were only 205/50 x 17 even though it had the M-Sport suspension.

But my Z4 Sport Coupe on Potenzas has 225/40 x 18 fronts and 255/35 x 18 rears and when I replace them it will be with something else, whether RFTs or not - they aren't pleasant!

I've got them on my 320d. They are OK - better than their predecessors - but not "night & day" different

I'm on them and they are still st.

That's interesting. What size do you have and what are they on? Where did you get them and how much if you don't mind saying?

I've heard good things about them but generally in the more sensible sizes.
