The Bridgestone Ecopia EP100 tire is a summer model for passenger cars. The environmentally friendly tire has one of the lowest rolling resistance ratings. When creating the tire, the developers focused on economical hybrid and electric vehicles, including the Mini Cooper, Honda Civic Hybrid, Nissan Versa, Toyota Corolla, and Prius.
In creating this tire, specialists used all their innovations and extensive experience in the tire industry. As a result, they were able to create a truly high-quality tire with excellent operational characteristics (low rolling resistance, quiet ride, excellent handling, reliable braking, and traction).
This model features Bridgestone's new NanoPro-Tech technology, which improves tire performance by controlling the interaction of polymers, fillers, and other chemicals. The multilayered tread is made from a silicon-containing rubber compound, and the composition includes polymers with a modified structure. These allow for reduced energy loss by preventing the heating of the upper tread layer (which increases rolling resistance).
When creating the Bridgestone Ecopia EP100 tire, 3D technology was used - cutting the ring tread ribs. As a result, uneven wear decreased and the road noise effect was reduced. The CSC technology enabled the creation of a block tread structure that improves traction on various road surfaces and prevents uneven wear.
The silica in the tread rubber compound increases traction on wet surfaces by increasing the flexibility of the tread. The interconnected, high-quality work of the block ribs reduces energy loss and increases efficiency on wet road surfaces. The tire's wide side grooves help prevent aquaplaning. The tire has a special Ecopia label, which indicates that the company has paid maximum attention to environmental friendliness. This tire is specifically designed for drivers who care about the environment.
Main features of the Bridgestone Ecopia EP100 tire
- A specially designed tread has well-balanced operational characteristics;
- A special rubber compound has increased wear resistance and traction characteristics;
- An optimally selected lamella system and wide side grooves quickly remove water from the tire, preventing aquaplaning.
