Tyre's for Ford cars
Purchased from Bridgestone dealer directly with 3+1 free option. Doesn't give me a great feeling after I changed these Tyre's. It has worn out so quickly for a normal use. The Tyre's gets easily damaged when it touches the gutter on the road sides while parking. I didn't feel worth spending o much money on these Tyre's. sounds like Bridgesand !

Good and very cost effective.
Bought and have four of this tyre installed 2 years ago at Bridgestone tyre shop. It is a very cost effective one compared to ranges but it works good enough for my Subaru forester when mostly do city driving. You might not want this Ecopia if you are taking your car off road most of the time.

best mileage i have ever had
My toyota came with the dunlop tyres and once i had to change the tyres, i bought the bridgestone ecopia ep100 which were on sales with buy 4 pay 3. there was a significant difference in mileage as the dunlop usually gave me about 500 kms with a full tank, while the bridgestone ecopia ep100 up to 650 kms.
the handing was a little better with the dunlop but the ecopia was quieter

Surprising!
I used to be a Bridgestone customer, but was turned off after Turanza and Donut failures 15 years ago or so. A friend had bought these for his VY Commodore ute (we don't carry big loads in our ute) and I was surprised about driving on them while my car was in the panel beaters. They gripped and were great in the winter rains on roads where I would usually aquaplane in my car. Went and got some fitted to my Falcon 2 years ago now and 48,700km (only 2 tyre rotations during this period) later they still look brand new and have hardly lost a scrap ...Read more
of tread. Maybe its because they are made in Japan or maybe Bridgestone have designed a superior product at an affordable price, Im not to sure, but I am convinced I could get another 30,000km out of these tyres. Very happy!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good Allrounder
I had a '97 Fairlane and replaced all 4 tyres at the advise of BobJane Campbelltown NSW where I have been purchasing over 30 years.
They have always given me the best advise and this is no different. I had these tyres on for well over 40k with still very serviceable tread.
Quiet for the best part and a great rolling resistance hence the name Eco.(pia)
Living in Tas now so will find my 'local' tyre guy for the next 30yrs.

Good Deal for this Tyre!
We got a great deal from Bridgestone Select Ellenbrook, 3 tyres with free 1 tyre at very good price. We had these installed in our family car. We find the tyres durable, reliable and no safety issue. The tyres have great friction even on wet roads, no skid. We also notice that these tyres are not noisy compare to the previous tyres installed.

Durable with good grip
The tyres are not noisy and I haven't had any issues with the gripping. Drove them 30,000 km since I got them without significant loss to the tread. They are fairly durable. However these tyres do have some side wall issues as I had to replace one of my them only after 7 months, having punctured the side wall. They are priced reasonably low so you shouldn't expect premium performance.

No problems so far
Have two Ecopia's on my 11 year old XTrail; they replaced two Bridgestone SUV tyres and so far, so good. They've done about 15000kms without any issues and seem to be wearing pretty well. They are a quieter tyre than others I have used, too. They have handled adequately in the wet or dry (noting that the XTrail is hardly a performance machine, and is prone to a bit of body roll). I would certainly trust them more than cheaper, lesser known brands.

Pleasantly surprised
The cost of a new set of Turanza's for the Aurion was a bit prohibitive so Bob Jane said they had a 4 for the price of 3 promo on the Ecopia's. Strange name but he convinced me that they were equivalent to the Turanzas for general driving and they were the new low resistance (??) tyre. For an all up cost incl alignment of less than $600 for 215x55x17H it was a done deal. Have only had them for a month but no complaints whatsoever. Quiet (but then new tyres usually are) and I got my first surprise at the first corner - lifting off at the usual p...Read more
oint I found that I had to brake harder as the car kept rolling - and it kept happening at every corner - so they do have lower rolling resistance. On my first trip I noticed the instantaneous fuel readout was dropping from 7's to 6.7 ltr/100km for a 6cyl Aurion at 100 kph so it seems to be true. Ride is softer also. Only giving 4 stars at the moment because I am dubious about long term wear - the Turanzas did 51k1 comment

Great
They're durable, lasts quite abit if you're not driving erratically, makes my car better to drive and handle than some of the cheap brands, they're smooth going into corners and round about, never had problems with them besides punctures from nails etc would definitely recommend 2nd best tyre I've purchased yet, save money on fuel as well

Good tyres
Fuel efficient and not bad on the road either. My car is Mazda 3 neo and they are there since i bought the car 5 years ago. The kilometer is reaching to 90 k, but the tyres are still good. Good tyres with the price and durability. Can get good deals, too.

Great tyres for the price
I purchased the tyres from Costco, during a promotion, for my 2010 Honda Civic. I paid around $350 for a set of 4 tyres and it seemed like good value. I have had them for almost a year now and they have been great. I have driven around 20000 kms and they still look new. I have felt a decease in the road noise once I installed the EP100.
Handling in the wet could be better but it is an inexpensive product and not premium high speed tyres

Excellent
We purchased 4 of these Tyres for our Suzuki Swift, so far have found them to be reliable in all weather conditions. Have only had one blowout but this was no fault of the tyre. They are Great tyres at a great price, we have been very happy with them.

Affordable but quality questionable.
I first purchased a set of four from my local Bridgestone store to soon have the front passenger show a huge blister on the wall, within two weeks of purchase. I had to fight tooth and nail to have them take responsibility for the fault and provide a replacement though sure enough a few months later the same tyre location had a complete failure. I have since replaced the spare with another ecopia to keep the continuity. I'm not convinced at this point that the tyres are durable as I was expecting to get at least 50k or more out of them but I've already replaced two. As these are low rolling resistance tyres they are supposed to be best suited for my hybrid and I've seen no loss of performance compared to the michelin they replaced.

Good tyre, trustable brand
First time to deal with Bridgestone Hurstville, and the experience was good as staffs were friendly, promotion was good (buy 3 get 1 tyre free, plus 6 months free roadside assistance). All tyres are durable, and the car is more comfortable when driving. Don't forget to check the status of roadside assistance as staffs may forget to activate the membership!

Great tyre
Got a set of 4 of these tyres when Bob Jane T-Mart had a buy 3 get 1 free promo.
They're great tyres, handle very well and have had no problems with them so far.
They are eco friendly too so I save a little on petrol which always helps.

They go alright
The tyres seem to be doing well so far and not easily wearing out as i mostly use my car to travel to and from work which is a lot of freeway travel. The tyres I have are only 15inch, so with the power of my car they go alright in general.

Not sure why you'd buy?
These tyres have a VERY soft side wall. Not suited for hills driving or front wheel drive vehicles.
Bridgestone's push for eco friendly tyre. They are dearer than standard bridgestone tyre, yet claim better fuel economy? So the savings in fuel is offset by the cost of the tyre. Not good marketing!
Poor mileage and really chop out the outer edges on the front tyres.

Got these tyres installed at costco buy 3 get 1 offer. Using this on my SUV and drive on 4WD tracks and wet conditions. It gives more stable steering and yes I see milage improvement from my previous tyres.
Recently in severe wet conditions, I didn't loose the traction when road is so slippery.
Good
1. Reduced road noise
2. Bit of milage improvement
3. stability
Cons:

Questions & Answers
Royasked
Whats the recommended tyre air pressure
2 answers
I believe each car model has different recommended tyre pressure. For my 2006 Toyota Yaris, the recommended tyre pressure is 32 psi back and front. However, from experience, I personally wouldn't go below 34 psi to maximise the tyres' life. 32 psi will give you soft and comfy riding but at the cost of your tyres shoulder. My new tyres are now at 38 psi as recommended by Bridgestone Tyre Centre and so far the riding has been good. Check your car's manual for the recommended presure. My believe is somewhere between 32 - 40 psi. Try to experiment between that range to find the best balance for your car.
According to Jarod Bianti, he said: I haven't yet had a vehicle that I don't run the same pressure in the front and rear. Not to say that all vehicles are that way, but I would safely assume that most are (as another answer mentions — 50/50 weight distribution).
Regarding a few tyre post: https://www.bestnetreview.com/best-all-terrain-tire/
Don't rely on the door stamp recommendations. They’re based upon a set temperature (15°C iirc) and static weight of the vehicle with no cargo. ALWAYS rely on the tire itself and even then, ask an experienced tire shop person what they recommend the pressure to be for your type of vehicle and make/model of tire. Every vehicle is different and every tire brand/model is different which leaves tens of thousands of combinations. A good tire shop should know the ideal pressure to run at.
As an example: my Ram has a door sticker saying 65 Psi, but with the stock Goodyear tires, the pressure is best at 40 Psi. But…with my new BFG KO2's, my recommended pressure is 35 Psi.

Hope this is of some assistance

How do they perform on a Honda CRV?
3 answers
Don't know but don't perform on a Ford Focus
Can't speak for a Honda but it probably depends on how you like to drive it. I have only tried them on a Yaris.
I have them on my 2013 Fiesta. Only done about 4,000k's but they ride better than the Continental's that came with the car and they only gave me about 35,000 k's. (At 145 bucks each, i won't be buying them again.) I've had no problems with the handling and the steering is a lot better. I haven't noticed any braking problems, but the ABS probably takes care of that. Can't really comment on wet roads because i don't drive like a loony.

pressures are too low and/or the alignment/front end is stuffed. My other car is a Subaru Outback 6cyl and I enjoy driving it more than the Toyota. I even fitted Ecopia's to that back in Dec and they endure more and handle better than the $260 Michelins that were on it (from 2011). And they are quieter than the Michys. I'm happy - Subydoo is happy - and he doesn't even squeal at 40kph through a roundabout - but he did occasionally with the Michys.
