2010 2011 BMW 5 Series Forum F10 - View Single Post - Thoughts about Bridgestone DriveGuard tires

JoeSchu · 09-25-2017, 05:23 PM

I was also considering these tires, but my 2011 535i has the sport package and thus a 275/35R19 rear tire. Of course, Bridgestone doesn't make these.

I'm probably going to have to stick with RFT this time around (don't have the energy or trunk space to buy a spare right now). I can't find anything with the tread wear ratings of the Driveguards in the 275 aspect.

Anyone know of an equivalent in that size? Is it worth replacing the fronts with the Driveguards to get the durability and go with something else on the back?

The Potenza's that came on the car when I made the CPO purchase made it about 25k miles.

TireRack has the P0's, Turanza's, and Michelin Primacy around the same price. The Goodyear Eagle F1's are a bit more. Any thoughts/opinions?
