As a former Bridgestone engineer, from my standpoint, Laufenn S Fit AS is a unique performance tire if you’re focused on handling and fuel efficiency. Since Laufenn focuses on fuel efficiency in this tire, they use fewer sipes on this tire. Hence, its wet and winter performances are poor below 7 Celcius degrees (at or below 40º F). However, if you’re living in a warm region, these tires are a great option for you. Laufenn S Fit AS lasts long. Yet, due to its variable shoulder block design, it’s slightly noisy at low speeds but deaf at high speeds.

Depending on your needs, the below article might help;

Dry Traction

First of all, I would like to share my opinion about UHP tires. They’re just all-season tires that have stronger sidewalls. That’s it. In my point of view, the all-season tire concept is totally the opposite of the performance tire concept. For sure, brands like Michelin, Bridgestone, and Continental can optimize these tires perfectly. Yet, these are just all-season tires that offer higher speed ratings and cornering stability. That’s it.

Why I’m talking about them in this section? Because if your expectations are racing or great handling on high velocity, you’re in the wrong place. You need a slick summer performance tire.

On the other hand, besides the longevity, if you just like the appearance and your expectations are just safety while driving slightly aggressively, let’s move on!

Laufen S Fit AS’s compound is labeled with A-rating regarding traction. So, its traction capability is great.

Regarding dry traction, putting as much rubber on the ground works best. Besides that, compound stiffness is the game-changer. Luckily, Laufen S Fit AS has a soft compound like every other ultra-high-performance tire(500 UTQG rating).

Unlike most UHP tires, Laufen S Fit AS doesn’t have a blocky pattern which increases the rubber on the ground. For this reason, I can confidently say that even if you’re changing from all-season tires, you’ll not notice any decrease in dry traction.

Laufen S Fit AS offers great dry traction.

Handling

The handling capability of UHP all-season tires is crucial.

The handling capability of the tires can be evaluated under two different features.

The first one is responsiveness, also known as steering response.

The second one is cornering stability. This kinda shows your tire’s ability to stay stable under high speeds.

Let’s evaluate them one by one.

Steering Response

Steering response is related to compound stiffness and tread design.

Well, I have to admit that, UHP all-season tires have an advantage out here. All-season performance tires have a stiff compound for performance tires. Hence, these tires flex less and provide a quicker steering response.

In this case, the real game changer is the center rib design. Manufacturers mostly keep center ribs robust and solid. Just like Laufen S Fit AS has.

Moreover, Laufen S Fit AS’s ribs are connected to the tire bars that reduce the flex and accelerating the steering response. Moreover, Laufen S Fit AS’s tread depth is lower than the competition. It’s a bad omen for tread life but increases the responsiveness significantly, especially for the tires that have a fluffy compound.

Even though these are enough for a decent steering response, responsiveness is also highly related to cornering stability.

I can confidently say that Laufen S Fit AS offers a trustworthy steering response, though, I’ll share a couple of extra pieces of information in the below section.

Cornering Stability

Cornering stability is mostly related to the inner structure. Hence, most performance tires have a decent record.

In that case, two steel belt construction works best. For this reason, it has a common use. Well, Laufenn uses the same design for S Fit AS also. However, the X factor out here is different.

Laufen uses a jointless nylon cap that fully covers the steel belts and meets with a high-hardness bead filler that reduces the flex and offers better cornering stability.

Laufen S Fit AS offers reliable cornering stability. That feature makes it a good option for SUVs and CUVs that puts performance over the tread life.

Wet Performance

This section is actually the reason why I don’t like all-season performance tires.

The wet performance requires a fluffy compound or a notched rubber. Though, compounds do most of the work.

In fact, summer tires work better on wet because of this reason. The fluffy compound offers a better grip on wet.

The above reasons are important for wet traction. Yet, hydroplaning resistance is another feature that is highly crucial for high-speed driving.

Let’s move on and talk about them one by one.

Wet Traction

Wet traction is related the compound stiffness and there’s a solid way to understand it.

Checking UTQH rating. Laufenn S Fit AS has a 500 AA UTQG rating. The first A out here stands for the wet traction.

In this case, what you have to pay attention to is in which conditions the above sentence is valid. Above 7 Celcius (44.6° Fahrenheit) degrees.

If the tire doesn’t have 3PMSF, its compound sometimes can lose grip capability. Well, LAufenn S Fit AS doesn’t have.

In order to avoid this, manufacturers use highly notched rubber on performance all-season tires. However, Laufen S Fit AS isn’t one of these tires.

Laufenn S Fit AS has big shoulder blocks and a continuous rib design that increase the comfort level but decreases the biting edge intensity, hence, slippery ground grip.

Laufen S Fit AS offers decent wet traction for warm regions. However, under 7 Celcius degrees, it loses grip capability significantly.

Hydroplaning Resistance

Hydroplaning resistance is basically water throwing-out capability of the tire.

If the water stays inside the tread, the tire tends to lose connection with the ground. This doesn’t happen on a smooth road. Yet, you probably feel the flotation feeling while going through the puddles.

Performance tires have wider tread patterns. For this reason, they tend to hydroplane.

In order to avoid it, there are two different methods.

The first one is using circumferential grooves. Laufen S Fit AS has a 3-rib design, for this reason, it has 4 circumferential grooves which is an efficient number.

The second one is open shoulder blocks. Right here, manufacturers need to decide between riding comfort and hydroplaning resistance.

The big shoulder blocks and fewer open slot is disadvantage out here. Check the tread closely, one shoulder is supported with a small rib that increases the handling but decreases the hydroplaning resistance.

Laufen S Fit AS offers average hydroplaning. It handles the lower velocity but high-speed hydroplaning needs a better shoulder design.

Longevity

Laufenn S Fit AS’s tread design aims the longevity.

If you compare this tire with its competitors, you can clearly see that this one has a softer design.

It doesn’t have a blocky pattern like its competitors and its sipe and notches density is actually low.

These features decrease its slippery ground grip capability but decrease its rolling resistance significantly.

Since the tire has a low density of sipes, it offers satisfying tread life. However, its compound is slightly softer than the competition (500UTQG, premium brands use 560-600 for this segment). Well, in fact, that’s why this tire still can offer slippery ground performance.

Besides all of these, Laufenn is aware that even wearing is the key to long-lasting rubber. So, they use tie bars to decrease flexing between the ribs. For this reason, Laufen S Fit AS tends to wear evenly.

If you’re looking for a long-lasting rubber, Laufenn S Fit AS is a great option for you.

Getting maximum wear life from a tire is related to you as well as your tire,

Warranty

Laufenn offers 5 years and 45,000 miles treadwear warranty for this product
You have a 30 days trial option
If you don’t like it, you can replace it with a set of Laufenn or Hankook tires

Here is the detailed warranty document for you,

Laufenn S Fit AS Warranty Document: https://www.tirerack.com/images/pdf/warranty/LA0116.pdf

Winter Performance

Winter performance of performance tires is questionable.

Performance tires aren’t able to use 3PMSF compound because of wearing issues.

3PMSF compounds are fluffy and don’t lose their elasticity in freezing temperatures. However, they melt down on high-speed usage. Especially in warm weather.

Regarding Laufen S Fit AS, things are worse.

The premium brands in this category prefer a more aggressive and blocky design to improve grip capability. Unfortunately, Laufen S Fit AS’s design is insufficient for winter performance.

I don’t recommend this tire for winter usage.

Riding Comfort

It seems like riding comfort is the priority of Laufen S Fit AS.

Unlike its successors, Laufen S Fit AS has a less blocky compound.

However, the inner structure does most of the work in this case.

So, riding comfort is related to uniformity. For this reason, performance tires generally fail on it. These tires have a fluffy compound but they have durable and solid shoulder blocks and sidewalls.

Things are quite the same for Laufen S Fit AS, however, its shoulder block design creates a difference in this case.

Laufenn defines 5 different stiffness levels for Laufenn S Fit AS’s shoulder blocks. These blocks meet with the surface respectively. However, even though you drive at a constant speed, these blocks hit the surface with a different force because the tire is a circle and it has harmonic movements. So, optimizing the stiffness level of these blocks is a quiet smart move to make and it also decreases the noise level.

Due to its specific shoulder block design, Laufenn S Fit AS offers an exceedingly smooth drive.

Road Noise

If you’re looking for high-performance all-season tires, especially affordable ones, you probably don’t care about the road noise that much.

These tires are built to perform under high lateral forces. Hence, these tires have a strong sidewall and robust shoulder blocks.

So, before saying anything, I can confidently say that this one gonna be slightly louder than your all-season tire for sure.

First of all, the issue is manufacturer needs deep and wide notches to increase the traction capability of these tires. These deep and wide notches on the center section create some noise for sure.

However, the real issue is the wavy circumferential outer shoulder groove. The noise of all-season tires is mostly created by the airflow. So, these wavy sections increase the hydroplaning but also increase the noise level.

So, Laufenn uses a semi-rib near the wavy shoulder blocks. This semi-rib blocks the airflow and decreases the noise level. Yet, this can just slightly decrease it, can’t completely fix it.

If you’re buying this tire for high-speed driving, then it’s an extremely quiet tire, yet, I think that it’s noisier than all-season tires at lower speeds.

Fuel Efficiency

Laufenn S Fit AS is one of the lightest ultra-high performance all-season tires in the market which makes it a good option for a better MPG.

Besides that, just like I’ve mentioned before, Laufenn S Fit AS’s design isn’t blocky as its competitors. It might be bad for traction-related features but it’s great for smooth and quiet driving and fuel efficiency.

If fuel efficiency is your priority, Laufenn S Fit AS is one of the best ones you can get!

Handling

Highway all-season tires generally offer decent handling. Since these tires aren’t built for loose ground traction, they generally have a symmetrical pattern and rib-type design that improve the handling capability.

In addition to that, these tires are made for huge vehicles. Hence, durability is their priority.

For this reason, these tires have a stiff compound which increases handling capability in a good way.

Under these circumstances, it’s easy to say Firestone Destination LE3 offers decent handling. Yet, I would like to explain the reasons behind this.

In order to explain myself better, I prefer to divide this section into two.

Steering Response

Responsiveness is extremely important for highway all-season tires. These tires should have the capability to work under loaded conditions which include towing or hauling. Since responsiveness becomes vital under loaded conditions, responsiveness is a priority for highway all-season tires.

Things are quite the same for Firestone Destination LE3.

In this case, tread depth, compound stiffness, and pattern design are the game changers.

Higher tread depth decrease the steering response time. Firestone Destination LE3’s tread depth is lower than most of the highway all-season tires in the market.
Firestone Destination LE3 has a fluffier compound. Its UTQG rating is 700. Yet, 700 is a still good number for a decent steering response.
Firestone Destination LE3 has a relatively softer tread design. It has a rib-lug-type hybrid design like other highway all-season tires in the market. If you can check the placement of the center section lugs, you can clearly see that the main idea is interlocking these lugs for better steering response and handling.

Firestone Destination LE3 offers a satisfying steering response. If you’re an aggressive driver, it could be a good fit for you.

Cornering Stability

Cornering stability is related to the inner structure and it’s generally not an issue for highway all-season tires.

Firestone Destination LE3 has a durable inner structure that offers decent cornering stability.

In this case, the real game-changer is the extra nylon reinforcement. This reinforcement goes through the whole tire and its main duty is to keep the tire in shape while cornering at high speeds. Does it work? Absolutely.

As a result, if your priority is handling or satisfying on-road manners, I think Firestone Destination LE3 is one of the best you can get for this price level.

Riding Comfort

Riding comfort of highway all-season tires are also good because these are high-profile tires that have more air inside of the tire.

This might come a bit fancy but in fact, the air inside of the tread carries all the load. Hence, more air means a higher load index and a generally more comfortable ride.

Besides these natural advantages, Firestone Destination LE3’s design is slightly softer than its competitors.

Firestone Destination LE3’s center section is more compact than the others. Besides that its lugs are interlocked which increases the comfort level significantly.

Due to its symmetrical pattern and relatively softer tread design, Firestone Destination LE3 provides a highly comfortable driving experience.

Road Noise

Road noise is where this tire shines due to its softer center section design.

Generally, highway all-season tires have highly sectional ribs that provide a comfortable but sometimes slightly noisy ride.

Firestone Destination LE3 is a bit different. Even though its tread also has lugs, these lugs are interlocked vertically and horizontally.

Due to its low void area center section and blocky but a bit fluffy shoulder blocks, Firestone Destination LE3 provides one of the quietest rides in the market.

Wet Performance

The wet performance of highway all-season tires is generally better than all-terrain tires. This is because highway all-season tires put more rubber on the surface. In another saying, these tires have fewer void areas.

Wet performance has two different dimensions that are completely different than the others. In fact, at some point, these two totally need the opposite features.

While one of these two dimensions is wet traction and it’s related to compound stiffness and sipe density; the other one is hydroplaning resistance which is highly vital, especially under the downpour.

Let’s evaluate them one by one.

Wet Traction

As I’ve mentioned above, wet traction is related to compound stiffness and sipe density.

The easiest way to understand decent wet traction is by checking to UTQG rating.

UTQG rating contains one number and two letters after that. The first letter rates the wet traction. A is the highest rating, continues B, C…

In this case, my limit stiffness is 700 which highway all-season generally doesn’t match with.

Unlike other highway all-season tires, Firestone Destination LE3 meets this criterion. Its UTQG rating is 700 A B. Which means it also has A-rating wet traction and B-rating heat resistance. I’m going to talk about heat resistance in the longevity section.

On the other hand, maybe you realize that Firestone Destination LE3’s sipe density is lower than most highway all-season tires in the market. This is because its compound is fluffier and provides a better grip.

It seems like Firestone trying to make tires that can provide decent traction and maximum comfort level. I can confidently say that you’ll not have any issues regarding wet traction.

Firestone Destination LE3 provides excellent wet traction.

Hydroplaning Resistance

Hydroplaning resistance basically the water evacuation capability of the tread. It becomes vital, especially at high velocity and under the downpour.

While going through the puddle, if you break, you may feel the flotation feeling. That’s hydroplaning and actually, it can be extremely dangerous.

Luckily, highway all-season tires have relatively narrower patterns than all-terrain tires which decrease the floatation level.

More importantly, the priority of these tires doesn’t off-road traction. Hence, manufacturers can use a relatively softer tread design which helps them to increase hydroplaning resistance.

In this case, circumferential grooves and open shoulder blocks do most of the job.

Firestone Destination LE3’s symmetrical pattern contains 4 circumferential grooves. Besides that this tire has a blocky shoulder design that provides a lot of open shoulder slots.

Moreover, you can see the deep and angled notches at the center section of the tread. These notches provide two things. Vertical biting edges and water evacuation. The shape of the notches directs water in the center section to the shoulders or grooves.

Firestone Destination LE3 offers trustworthy hydroplaning resistance.

Winter Performance

First of all, if someone saying great about any highway all-season tires’ winter performance is lying.

These tires are built for huge vehicles and their main duty is to provide durability and a decent level of handling.

Because of that, highway all-season tires have a stiff compound that can’t get the 3PMSF marking.

3PMSF marking is the severe snow rating of the tires’ compound. If the tire doesn’t have this label, that means the compound of the tire becomes relatively useless under 7 Celcius degrees.

The above statement is what is written in the books. Yet, technology’s developing rapidly. In the last 4-5 years, the tire compounds maybe can’t get the 3PMSF label but can handle at least freezing temperatures.

So, if I have to talk about Firestone Destination LE3, I think it can be an assertive competitor in this case.

I would like to explain this for 3 different conditions,

Light-Snow Traction

Light-snow traction is actually what you should expect from highway all-season tires.

Unlike most people think, this is the most dangerous snow type.

The light snow can easily merge with dust and dirt and become slush or muddy. Hence, sliding and spinning are highly expected in this kind of weather condition.

So, Firestone Destination LE3’s fluffy compound gets into the game again here. Due to its fluffy compound, Firestone Destination LE3 provides a decent level of grip.

Besides that, its sipes are full-depth and 3D which provides vertical and horizontal grip at the same time. This is very important for light-snow traction.

Due to its 3D-siped pattern and fluffy compound, Firestone Destination LE3 provides reliable light-snow traction.

Deep Snow Traction

You can actually call this one packed-snow traction.

Unlike most people who think positively, I think Firestone Destination LE3 isn’t a good tire for packed snow traction.

First of all, the tire has a lower tread depth. Which is highly important regarding loose ground traction.

Secondly, Destination LE3’s center section isn’t blocky to provide decent deep snow traction. I like deep notches and I’m sure they gonna work but it’s still too far away from dedicated winter tires.

Last but not least, soft compound again. It still increases the biting capability.

Firestone Destination LE3 isn’t a perfect deep-snow tire but it can take you out of unexpected situations.

Ice Traction

Highway all-season tires generally have similar performance on the ice.

Firestone Destination LE3 has a slight advantage in this case. Its compound is softer and it can put more rubber on the surface.

For this reason, Firestone Destination LE3 is a good option for icy surfaces. Yet, I still recommend using a dedicated winter tire at least on the ice.

Longevity

Longevity is actually the only feature that I have doubts about.

First of all, the soft compound is a disadvantage in this case.

Besides that, the tire has B-rated heat resistance which means it’s gonna wear more quickly than A-rated tires. For instance, Michelin Defender LTX M/S has A-rated heat resistance and an 800 UTQG rating.

On the other hand, a compact and less notched pattern is a huge advantage in this case. Besides that, Firestone Destination LE3 is one the lightest of its segment. The huge advantage regarding tread life.

In a summary, I think Firestone Destination LE3 provides great tread life for CUVs and SUVs. However, it can be only a price/performance tire for a pickup owner who is looking for the longest tread life.

Getting maximum wear life from a tire is related to you as well as your tire,

Warranty

Firestone offers 70,000 miles treadwear warranty for this product
You can also buy & try this product for a 90-days. If you’re not happy with it, it’s free to return

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency is where this tire shines.

Due to its lightweight and relatively lower sipe density, I strongly believe that Firestone Destination LE3 is one of the most housewifely tires in the market.

Off-Road Performance

The off-road performance of highway all-season tires is meh.

In fact, the main duty of these tires isn’t loose ground traction.

They can handle off-road because they’re durable and they have plenty amount of void area to provide a decent level of light-duty off-road traction.

Mild off-road traction only contains gravel and dirt traction.

Firestone Destination LE3 can handle some mild off-road conditions but it’s slightly behind the competition due to its fluffy compound and compact pattern.

Dirt: Dirt traction is related to gripping capability. Firestone Destination LE3’s fluffy compound is an advantage in this case.

Gravel: Firestone Destination LE3 can provide a decent level of gravel traction. However, its fluffy compound will definitely wear faster

Mud: Depending on the depth of the mud, it can be useful. Yet, its shallow tread can’t have enough void area for decent mud traction. It can still take you out of unexpected situations

Sand: Softer designs work better on the sand. It’s gonna be fine.

In summary, Firestone Destination LE3 isn’t a tire to buy if off-road traction is your priority. Besides its low-rated heat resistance, it’s also a bit soft for a decent level of off-road traction. So, dirt & gravel is okay but I recommend keeping it only occasionally.

Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus Review

Updated: April 18, 2025 by Emrecan Gurkan Leave a Comment

The Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is a run-flat all-season tire tailored for coupes, sedans, CUVs, and SUVs, prioritizing comfort, quiet rides, and reliable 3-season traction with light snow capability. Launched alongside the Bridgestone WeatherPeak, it answers a key question: Why two all-season tires? Bridgestone splits customer needs—DriveGuard Plus focuses on smooth, run-flat convenience for daily drivers, while WeatherPeak targets harsh winters with aggressive 4-season grip. Ideal for urban commuters and light-adventure seekers, the DriveGuard Plus shines with its refined handling and puncture-resistant design, letting drivers bypass roadside emergencies. However, if deep snow or icy roads dominate your climate, opt for WeatherPeak’s winter prowess. For those valuing plush rides and run-flat security over extreme cold-weather performance, the DriveGuard Plus delivers. Discover if this balance of comfort, safety, and versatility suits your drive!

	Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus
Best for	Warm & squishy regions, durability-focused drivers, smooth driving
Pros	Jack of all trades, satisfying light-snow traction for a non-3PMSF tire, Repairable
Cons	Poor cold weather performance
Vehicle	SUV, CUV, Sedan, Coupe

Warranty	65,000 miles

As a former Bridgestone engineer, from my standpoint, Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is one of the best run-flat tires for mostly warm and squishy regions. This tire offers a smooth but a bit noisy driving experience. While it performs perfectly in wet and dry conditions, its winter performance is limited to light snow traction. Even though Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus lasts longer than most run-flat tires, it’s not the best option if fuel efficiency is your priority.

NOTE: DriveGuard Plus run-flat tires are only recommended for vehicles that are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system.

In case of any puncture, you can still use Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus 50 miles at 50 mph.

If you can keep the 15 Psi after the puncture, Bridgestone run-flat tires are repairable.

Run-Flat Technology

I generally don’t talk about this kind of thing in my articles but this tire is special for me.

Bridgestone is the originator of run-flat tires. For this reason, as a former Bridgestone engineer, I can confidently say that they don’t want to stop being the best run-flat tire manufacturer.

I personally found run-flat tires a bit fragile because of their extra stiff sidewalls.

So, the fragile part is caused by the stiffness difference between the tire shoulders and sidewalls. When this difference is too much, this causes too much force at some specific locations and if anything hit that spot, you have a new flat tire. But, run-flat, lol.

In this case, manufacturers have to decide something. They can fix this issue by using stiff shoulder blocks and sacrificing some of the good on-road manners (road noise, smooth driving), or they can use fluffier shoulder blocks and make the tire open to any damage.

Of course, they choose the second option but this one is different.

It seems like Bridgestone is keeping up with the idea behind the run-flat tires. Safety. So, they use stiff shoulder blocks on this tire.

In my point of view, Bridgestone Drive Guard Plus is gonna be announced as the best run-flat tire soon. It’s not going to be the most smooth or quiet one, it’s gonna be the most durable and trustworthy one for sure.

Pro Tip: If you’d like to learn more about the difference between run-flat and regular tires, you can check this article out!

Handling

Since we’ve already talked about the stiff shoulder blocks, let’s move on with the handling.

Handling could be evaluated under two different dimensions. Steering response and cornering stability.

While the steering response is related to pattern design, regarding cornering stability, the stiff and durable shoulder blocks and sidewalls do most of the job.

Steering Response

Steering response generally is an issue of all-terrain or winter tires.

While winter tires offer slower steering response because of their fluffy compound, all-terrain tires have tons of void area on the tread, and this decrease the response time dramatically.

So, I think we all understand the crucial metrics out here. Stiff compound and compact tread.

The center rib on the tread plays a big role out here. Especially if the compound is soft. Luckily, Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus has 640UTQG which is a highly acceptable number for a decent steering response. In fact, the number is higher than most all-season tires in the market which means Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus has a stiff compound.

If I’ve to come back to the center rib, a continuous and relatively less siped center rib works best in this case. Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus has neither. Yet, its stiff compound and compact pattern do the work.

Since Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is only available on V, W, and H speed rates, compound stiffness is way much more important than continuous center rib.

Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus provides a satisfying steering response.

Cornering Stability

I’ve never seen someone complaining about the cornering stability of the run-flat tires.

Cornering stability is related to strong and solid internal structures. In this case, stiff shoulders and thick sidewalls do the most work.

I’ve already talked about the stiff shoulder blocks, regarding thick sidewalls, run-flat tires have a thick sidewall because of their nature.

The robust shoulder section stays stable while cornering, besides that, its tread compound is also stiff enough.

Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus offers extremely stable cornering. I highly recommend this tire for aggressive drivers.

Wet Performance

The wet performance of all-season tires is generally good. But it is very important to divide the wet performance into two in this regard.

Hydroplaning resistance and wet traction.

While hydroplaning resistance is more important for aggressive drivers, wet traction is crucial if you have a bit softer driving habit.

Let’s analyze them one by one!

Wet Traction

Wet traction is mostly related to compound stiffness.

In this case, the best way to check this out is the UTQG rating.

UTQG rating has 3 digits numbers and two letters come after that. For instance, the UTQG rating of Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is 640AA.

While 640 means that DriveGuard Plus lasts 6.4 times more than the test default tire, first A means it provides one of the best-wet traction. The second A means it resists heat perfectly. I’ll come back here in the longevity section.

So, according to my past experiences, if the tire has below 700 UTQG, it provides decent wet traction. But, this isn’t the only thing to take a look at.

When it comes to tread design, Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is perfectly optimized. You can clearly see the full-depth sipes and notches. These notches and sipes increase the amount of biting edges and provide better traction on slippery ground.

Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus could be on your list if wet traction is your priority. It’s great in this case.

Hydroplaning Resistance

Hydroplaning resistance is the key to safe wet driving. It’s simply the water evacuation capability of the tires’ tread. If the tread holds the water inside, at one point, while wheeling, the tire loses connection to the surface and you feel this floating feeling. Especially, if you ever bread on puddles, you probably experience this.

Well, this metric is crucial. Especially for aggressive drivers because the chance of hydroplaning correlates with velocity.

Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus has a trustworthy design in this case. It has 4 circumferential grooves that throw the water out. Better than that, it has an open shoulder block design that increases the water evacuation capability.

Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus offers reliable hydroplaning resistance.

Winter Performance

The winter performance of all-season tires should be well analyzed.

Unlike most people think, these tires aren’t built for winter performance. In fact, they perform best above 7 Celcius (44.6 Fahrenheit) degrees.

This doesn’t mean these tires can’t perform on the snow but their maximum performance on the snow is average.

Still, dividing winter performance by three is the best way to analyze it.

Light-Snow Traction

Light-snow traction is the only metric you should look at if you’re going to buy all-season tires. I isolate all-weather tires in this case because all-weather tires are marked with 3PMSF which means their compound is resistant to cold weather. If you’d like to learn the difference between these two, I briefly talked about it in this article.

So, Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus doesn’t have a 3PMSF marking. Hence, the maximum performance you should expect from this tire is average.

Well, luckily, it provides one of the best light snow traction among the competitors.

Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus’s divided ribs (looks like ribs but it contains lugs) and open shoulder blocks provide enough biting edges for light snow traction. Hence, Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is a trustworthy tire on light snow.

Deep-Snow Traction

All-season tires sometimes can handle deep snow. In this case, a bit aggressive pattern (lugged-type like Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus) works better.

In my point of view, tread depth is highly important regarding deep snow traction. Since Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus has a shallow tread, it has limited deep snow traction.

Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus doesn’t suitable for a long-range trip on the above 3-4” of snow. However, its C and E-shaped rib lugs create a good amount of horizontal and vertical biting edges.

Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus can take you out of occasional snow but this isn’t a winter-dedicated tire. Limiting winter time usage is best for your safety.

Ice Traction

Due to its stiff compound, I don’t recommend using this tire on ice.

If you need ice or slush traction, you need a dedicated winter tire, at least an all-weather tire.

Riding Comfort

After the radial tires entered the market, the comfort of the tires increased to a high level. Indeed, it’s really hard to find a rough-ride tire on the market.

So, while reading this section, please keep in mind that the worst tire in the market is average regarding riding comfort.

Internal structure does most of the work in this case.

Regarding internal structure, Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus contains one nylon cap over the two-ply polyester casing. Hence, it absorbs the road forces very well. Besides that, it has relatively lower tread depth which is a huge advantage for a smooth driving experience.

I’m not going to say it’s the best one but for a run-flat tire, Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus offers insane riding comfort.

Road Noise

So, the robust shoulders I love are the disadvantage in this case.

The noise reduction of the tires is related to the center section void area. For the all-season tires, less void area means rib type pattern.

Well, Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus has a rib-type pattern but these ribs are divided into lugs. Moreover, as you can see its shoulder blocks are also dived into smaller blocks.

Due to its blocky pattern and robust shoulder blocks, Bridgestone DriveGuard Plus is a noisy tire in cold weather. The noise level will be acceptable in warm weather but below 7 Celcius degrees (at or below 40º F), I’m pretty sure you’ll need to turn up the volume of the radio a bit.

Longevity

Long-lasting isn’t a common feature for run-flat tires due to their heavier internal structure. So, expecting a long-lasting tread life is a bit of dreaminess.

Well, it has advantages and disadvantages in this case.

First of all, the tire has a blocky pattern which means it tends to wear unevenly. Yet, the stiff compound is an advantage in this case.

So, it has a stiff compound but it has tons of biting edges which creates too much force and the tire wears quickly. Besides, those run-flat tires are heavy tires. They wear faster than normal all-season tires.

I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be the strong contester between the run-flat all-season tires. Yet, if you prefer long-lasting rubber to safety, you better don’t prefer RFT (run-flat tires).

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency is similar to longevity.

In this case, a stiff compound provides lower rolling resistance. However, as I’ve mentioned above, the notched pattern needs more power to roll, hence, this feature decreases the fuel efficiency a bit.

If you’re buying a run-flat tire, I suppose you don’t care too much about MPG.

For those who care, I strongly believe that this tire is one of the most fuel-efficient run-flat tires on the market. Its compound is far away stiff compared to competitors.

Dry Performance

Waterfall Eco Dynamic has a very similar design to Michelin Primacy A/S(review). So, you might expect a similar performance from it. Worth reminding that you should put the price difference into consideration. Waterfall Eco Dynamic is a dirt-cheap tire.

Due to its very-well siped rubber, it has unique dry traction capability. Compare to Michelin Primacy A/S, it has a lack of siping on the center section. Yet, its robust and highly divided shoulders cover the center section’s siping lack.

Regarding steering response, solid and flat center rib get into the game. It supports the symmetric pattern design and increases the tire contact patch. Hence, this tire has quick response-ability.

Cornering stability is another plus point. It has robust and steps shoulders that keep the tire stable while cornering at high speeds.

A Side Note: If you’d like to know detailed information about Waterfall Tires –> https://tireterrain.com/waterfall-tires-review/

Wet Performance

Wet performance can be evaluated under two different dimensions. Hydroplaning resistance and wet grip.

Due to its 4 wider grooves, it can evacuate the water with ease. However, its shoulder blocks are closed. That might cause hydroplaning on very high velocities. Therefore, I don’t recommend this tire if you’re a spirited driver.

Regarding grip, it’s phenomenal. These divided stepped and very well-siped shoulders work perfectly on wet ground. Moreover, its compound is relatively soft. As a result, its wet grip ability is unquestionable.

Winter Performance

Winter performance is the weakest point of this tire. Well, that was expected cuz it’s an all-season tire. All-season tires can be used in cold weather, that’s correct. Yet, they aren’t experts on ice and deep snow. Their compound gets stiffer in tough winter conditions and that causes a lack of traction in icy conditions.

However, this tire can handle light snow. Its specific can resist freezing. Its compound stays soft and it can cover its grip ability. Worth reminding, if the ground starts to freeze, don’t use these tires.

If you need a solid all-season tire for winter, I recommend you to check this article out!

Road Noise

Its flat center section gets into the game again. Road noise is generally caused by a void area on the center section. These void areas create an airflow and that air causes vocal ride.

Due to flat center rib and fluffy compound, Waterfall Eco Dynamic is a deaf tire. I strongly recommend it.

Comfort

Due to its soft compound, Eco Dynamic is a smooth tire. Furthermore, its reinforced but light construction helps it to step at once to the ground. Thus, vibrating or bouncing isn’t an issue for it.

Fuel Efficiency

This is the strongest point of this tire. The Waterfall is using unique carcass technology that decreases the tires’ weight by 5%. Light tires have a lower rolling resistance. Herewith, Waterfall Eco Dynamic is a highly fuel-efficient tire.

Tread Life

Tread life is where this tire stays short. In fact, they would do better. I guess they thought that they can satisfy the customers in the US with European standards. Wrong.

Due to its optimized contact patch and relatively fluffy rubber, its tread life is limited. Yet, it’s not bad. Let’s say average.

Getting maximum wear life from a tire is related to you as well as your tire,

Goodyear Eagle Touring Review

Updated: April 18, 2025 by Emrecan Gurkan Leave a Comment

Goodyear Eagle Touring is an all-season tire with the appearance of a performance tire. Due to its wide product range, this tire can be used on various vehicles. Though worth reminding, this tire is made for people who do 15,000-20,000 miles a year. Hence, it’s not a good option for those who have a large SUV or light truck. At least, if you prefer riding comfort to wear life. CUV, SUV, sedan, or coupe owners, Goodyear Eagle Touring is the best you can find at this price level. Let’s move on and see how it shines!

	Goodyear Eagle Touring
Best for	Performance – focused drivers who are looking for a reliable and cozy 4-season ride, yearly low mileage vehicles
Category	All-Season Touring Tire
Vehicle	Sedans, coupes, CUVs

Weight	23 – 38 lbs
Made In	USA

Warranty	N/A

As a former Bridgestone engineer, from my standpoint, Goodyear Eagle Touring is an excellent tire on wet and dry grounds. Moreover, its handling and steering response capability overperform most of its competitors. In addition to that, Goodyear Eagle Touring can handle mild winter conditions but it’s not capable of severe winter conditions. More importantly, it’s a quiet and cozy tire that you can even hear the pin drop. However, even though it’s leading its segment, its tread life might seem a bit insufficient to you if you drive more than 20,000 miles in a year.

Depending on your needs, the below article might help;

Dry Performance

Dry performance is the main duty of all-season touring tires. Since touring all-season tires are focused on the smooth ride and year-round traction, dry performance is a must. Moreover, it’s the easiest way to impress customers.

For this reason, most tires have at least decent dry performance. While I’m talking about the dry performance, it should be separated under three different titles. Dry traction, cornering stability, and steering response. Let’s move on and evaluate them one by one!

Dry Traction

Unlike wet traction, dry traction doesn’t need too many sipes. In fact, it’s more related to compound stiffness and the contact patch.

Since we’re talking about the all-season touring tires, a contact patch isn’t an issue at all. Moreover, Goodyear Eagle Touring has an fluffy compound. In fact, one of the softest I’ve ever seen.

Due to its soft and sticky compound and compact tread, Goodyear Eagle Touring offers excellent traction on dry grounds. Accelerating or breaking, you can count on him!

Steering Response

Steering response indicates the responsiveness of the tire. The quick steering response means better handling and more confident drive.

In this case, tread design is the game-changer. Especially the center section of the tread. This portion is where you overstress while steering. If this portion has too many void areas, especially on the center rib, poor steering response is inevitable.

Due to its continuous center rib and supportive outer ribs, Goodyear Eagle Touring offers a decent steering response. I do say decent instead of excellent because of its soft compound. In this case, stiffer compounds work better.

Cornering Stability

Cornering stability isn’t an issue for all-season tires. Unlike off-road tires, these tires don’t need an extremely stiff compound to prevent external damage. Hence, their sidewall and tread compound stiffness aren’t so different.

Moreover, due to its wide product range, Goodyear uses extra polyester casing for this tire and which keeps the tire in shape while cornering at high speeds.

Due to its strong sidewalls and internal structure, Goodyear Eagle Touring provides reliable cornering stability.

Wet Performance

Wet performance should be evaluated under two different titles. Well, two different conditions also. High-speed and low-speed performance.

While high-speed performance requires water evacuation, in a word, hydroplaning resistance; low-speed performance needs a grip capability, namely, wet traction.

Let’s analyze them one by one.

Wet Traction

Wet traction sometimes causes a problem for all-season tires. Well, all-season tires are under the your car whole year. Hence, they wear more than summer tires. In other words, they need a relatively stiff compound.

In this case, some manufacturers prefer to increase the notch density of the tire. Others prefer to decrease compound stiffness. In our case, Goodyear did both.

Due to its fluffy compound and highly notched rubber, Goodyear Eagle Touring offers alpha plus wet traction.

Hydroplaning Resistance

Hydroplaning resistance is also known as aquaplaning resistance. This metric is highly vital at high velocity.

Since the tire loses contact with the ground if it can’t throw the water out of the tread, hydroplaning can have fatal consequences.

So, circumferential grooves and the open shoulder blocks are the decision-makers in this case.

Due to its wide 4 circumferential grooves and open shoulder blocks, Goodyear Eagle Touring has a trustworthy hydroplaning resistance.

Winter Performance

Bad news, in fact, all-season tires don’t build for winter performance. Actually, their temperature range is limited to 7 Celcius degrees. Below this temperature, the compound gets stiffer and the tire loses grip. So, expecting decent winter performance from all-season tires is a bit utopian.

However, remember what I say in the wet performance section. Goodyear Eagle Touring has a soft compound and highly notched rubber. Though, it can perform in the winter conditions.

So, if I have to expend on,

Light Snow,

Light snow performance is similar to wet traction. Due to its soft compound and notched rubber, it can handle light snow.

Deep (Heavy) Snow,

Deep snow performance isn’t its expertise. It doesn’t have enough void area. Moreover, it can’t clean itself very well. I don’t recommend this tire for heavy snow.

Ice,

In fact, its compound stiffness is okay for ice traction. However, it needs more biting edges and maybe a compound that can resist freezing. It can take you out of unexpected situations, yet, I don’t recommend using it on ice.

Road Noise

Noise reduction is highly crucial for all-season tires. In this case, the narrowed void area is a must. In addition to that, rib type, symmetrical pattern tires reduce the noise with ease.

Regarding Goodyear Eagle Touring, it’s a master of noise reduction. Due to its rib-type symmetrical pattern and narrowed void area, Goodyear Eagle Touring is quiet as a church mouse. Moreover, some sizes are available with SoundComfort technology. These sizes contain extra sound-absorbing foam. This foam reduces cabinet noise dramatically. However, it isn’t available for all sizes. You can check the below document for detailed information,

Goodyear Eagle Touring SoundComfort Specs: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Eagle+Touring&isSEO=true

Riding Quality

Riding quality is where this tire shines. Due to its soft compound and flexible inner structure, the tire offers a highly cozy ride.

In this case, its symmetrical pattern is also a big advantage. Moreover, its inner construction is cased by nylon ply that keeps the tire flexible into the set point. Hence, you feel nothing while going through the bumps.

Goodyear Eagle Touring provides a luxurious ride. I strongly recommend it!

Treadwear

Treadwear is where this tire fall short. For that matter, I offer this tire-only passenger-oriented vehicle. For instance, it isn’t a good option for UBER drivers.

Depending on the size, Goodyear Eagle Touring’s UTQG rating differs from 300 to 500 (click here to check them out). Well, 500 is the average rating for this segment. I still recommend grand touring all-season tires if tread life is your priority.

Best Grand Touring Tires Chart: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=GTAS

Due to its soft compound, Goodyear Eagle Touring has a limited tread life. Yet, it’s acceptable for its segment. This’s just a common feature of this segment.

Getting maximum wear life from a tire is related to you as well as your tire,

If you’d like to learn how to get maximum tread life:

Warranty

Goodyear Eagle Touring is eligible for Goodyear’s Limited Replacement Warranty. If you face unexpected noise, vibration, or uneven wear, Goodyear may replace your tire. Yet, the tire doesn’t have any treadwear warranty.

I strongly recommend checking this warranty document out,

Conclusion

Goodyear Eagle Touring is a decent pick if you’re looking for a smooth, reliable, and performance-oriented ride. However, it might last not as long as you want on SUVs and light trucks. This beast is also an OEM tire for some well-known vehicles. Hence it’s the recommended tire for the below vehicle brands,

Porche –> NF0, N0 (check what these means)
Tesla –> T1
Mercedes –> M0

If you see the above codes on your tires, that means this tire is suitable for your Porche, Tesla, or Mercedes.
