Bridgestone Ecopia EP500
The Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 (*) is a touring, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. It is the original equipment tire of select BMW vehicles. The model provides a secure summer weather traction and hydroplaning resistance. The ologic technology lowers the tire's rolling resistance and minimizes the energy loss to ensure a fuel efficient performance. The maintained road contact upgrades the controllability, while the notched ribs of the tread decrease the braking distance with the stronger friction. The Ecopia EP500 (*) reduces the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin with the closer road contact.
Features
- Fuel Efficiency - The ologic technology provides a larger diameter tire with a narrow tread to decrease the rolling resistance and fuel consumption.
- Summer Tire - The summer compound and the narrow asymmetric tread design improve the dry and wet weather grip on the road surface.
- Hydroplaning - The treads three circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning with their water dispersing capability.
- Handling - The flat footprint's constant road contact greatly upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability.
- Braking Ability - The asymmetric tread's notched rib pattern improves the friction between the tire and the road to shorten the braking distance.
- Comfortable Drive - The flat footprint closely follows the road surface, absorbing the shock of driving and lowering the road vibrations felt during the drive.
