Solid feel

published

The first time I used nitrogen inflated tyres 2 full tyre sets ago, I immediately felt just how good the effect was on roll,stability, solidity, and fuel reduction.
I've immediately felt the very same effect with these tyres, only better.
Do yourself a favour ~ try these tyres, & ALWAYS inflate with nitrogen = amazingly positive difference.
I simply cannot believe the negative reviews on this page ~ these peeps MUST either own a competition brand dealership (how else could anyone buy 4 new tyres and replace them straight away?), or what they call "normal" driving is actually far more radical than is safely acceptable.

October 5 2018 ~ 18 months of use:
The tyres are still "as new". They have the same superb grip, and show very little if any, wear at all. The way things are going these tyres will last another two years at least.

an experiment gone wrong

Very noisy when cornering, not a quiet tyre as stated at 35p s i these tyres feel like they are going to roll off the rims. they are with out a doubt worst tyre i have ever driven on in my 46 years of driving.at 3.600 klms i removed them from my car and replaced them with michelin energy xm2

Great feel on the road

published

Bridgestone always pack a lot of rubber under your vehicle, very happy with the ride and feel of the Ecopia's on my Toyota Rukus. They have a soft feel and I've noticed they are quieter than my previous tyres. Brake on a dime. Very happy so far with my Bridgies.

Reduced fuel consumption

published

Bought a set of 4 tyres with the "get 4th free" deal. Of course, there are no freebies, but price worked out ok for the 4.
Immediately noticed a reduction in fuel consumption compared to old tyres, no problems in the wet, and after almost a year's use, no visually noticeable reduction in tread at a cursory glance.

Terrible Sidewalls

published

General drive is very good but beware of the thin sidewalls of these tyres. I have been driving the Mazda for more than 5 years never had the issue of sidewall punctures. Changed all 4 to EP100 within 6 months replaced 2 tyres due to sidewall damage. Even a slightest rub against wall or gutter leads to tear. Never had issue with other bridgestone tyre which came with the Car - factory fitted.

Great for Wet Weather Conditions

published

I bought these tyres from Jax Tyres in Moorabbin. They are great tyres especially when driving through puddles as the water dispurses out to the sides. Car feels solid on the road and so I feel safe when driving in slippery road conditions. Braking is good with these solid tread. As the name suggests.. ECOpia, they are supposed to provide better fuel consumption and tyres last longer. The tyres aren't overly expensive either. I paid $99 per tyre for a good brand tyre by Bridgestone.

quiet & comfortable

published

Second set of ecopia; first set went 55k without rotation.
Quiet, durable and adequate for a passenger car around town and highway.
Got them particularly cheap as well for a premium tyre. It always pays to ring around and get best value for you're m o n e y .

Excellent Tires - Vehicle Reported Decrease in Fuel /100km

published

These tyres are great with low rolling resistance giving noticeable improvement compared to my older tyres.
So far the wear on the tires look great with even wear with proper wheel alignment. Braking feels better and tires have less noise than the ones I had before. Well suited for highway driving.

Terrifying in the wet

published

Wet road grip was non-existent. Really truly terrifying. "slip sliding away.." to quote song lyrics.. Not needing heavy storm rain, but with the least shower sprinkle: all grip was gone.. Every time: slow down and slow down, still be slipping as trucks would honk and overtake. Bonus [yeah, I'm joking now..] 10,000km and the rear tyres were bald, absolutely dangerous bald.. I'm old, not speeding, not drag racing, BUT: BALD after 10,000 km.. these are the worst tyres I have ever had, in 40+ years of motoring

Comfortable ride

published

These tyres seem to give a nice comfortable ride. No problems at all. New tyres and wheel alignment always puts a smile on my face, old car seems new again. I haven't rubbed them up against a gutter yet so can't comment on durability of side-wall which seems to be a common complaint (it doesn't seem fair to give a one star rating because of driver abuse though...just a thought. A bit like complaining that your mobile phone keeps breaking every time you throw it into a brick wall)

Pretty average due to poor grip

published

I found the tyres were lacking grip and made a lot of noise when you were cornering at speeds faster than a walking pedestrian. Noticed the lack of grip straight away and got them replaced, I would hate to see them in the wet. The tyres also felt like they wanted to be pulled off of the wheels when cornering due to the weak tyre wall.

Ecopia EP 100 purchase well worth it.

published

I had these fitted to a 1996 Nissan Maxima as a new set of four tyres and been very pleased with the result. Very quiet running tyre at 36 lbs inflation, and very smooth coaster, expect good fuel savings as promised. Given no problems in the wet and heavy rain, and car drives and brakes well in both town and high speed driving. Will buy them again.

Horrible in the wet

published

Bought these tyres from Bridgestone Kaikoura after reading reviews and reports. We have found these tyres
to be just ok for quietness and dry road grip but very frightful under braking and corning in the wet.I won,t be
buying this brand again and can not advise these tyres to anyone

Terrible

published

I recently purchased four Ecopia EP100 tyres and I was very pleased with road grip and quietness, but I had to replace the two left tyres within 2 months time after I bought them. Both after rubbing a gutter which tore the tyre in the sidewall.So I guess that the sidewalls are just too thin. Never ever happened to me in the past...
Bridgestone's website says they cover the accidental damage from gutters but I was not eligible for that since I did not buy it directly from Bridgestone store but from ...I am very disappointed..

Soft sidewalls

published

I recently purchased four Ecopia tyres and I`am pleased with the roadholding and quietness,but I`ve had to replace one after rubbing a gutter which tore a hole in the sidewall.This is the first time this has ever happened so I assume that the sidewalls are just too fragile.I will be very cautious about buying them again.

absolute rubbish, bad customer service

published

we have owned a couple of Honda Accord Euros, with factory dunlop tyres, great handling, stopping and long wearing, during a service at Capital Honda Canberra, service manager suggested Bridgestone ecopias, the Mrs drove it for the first month & said it is not half the car it was, so living in canberra took it through roundabouts & sweeping corners, it was terrible, tried varied tyre pressures - still bad, called bridgestone and the guy was very unhelpful and would not offer any customer service, offered to take him for a drive, he refused, these tyres drove like old cross ply tyres, sheer rubbish, you pray when there is a corner approaching, don't buy

Questions & Answers

Whats the recommended tyre air pressure

2 answers
Joe
Joe

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.

Bryan G.
Bryan G.

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.

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.
