The Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus passenger tire is designed for use not only in the summer season, but also in European winter conditions. The model provides confident handling on dry asphalt, distinguished by high fuel efficiency.
The tire's tread is designed using modern technologies, in particular, NanoPro and a special composition for the sidewalls Fuel Saver. Their combination has significantly reduced air resistance, which has affected fuel efficiency and, as a consequence, reduced carbon dioxide emissions. The tire is equipped with a five-rib tread, which is particularly effective at high speeds, providing a high level of handling responsiveness. The presence of grooves on each of the rib structures forms a large number of gripping edges. The latter firmly fix the wide contact patch, increasing driving safety. Also, the sharp edges quickly cut through the water film, making aquaplaning impossible.
Note that the wide contact patch with uniform pressure distribution allows the service life to be significantly increased. At the same time, uneven wear is excluded (provided that the vehicle's toe and camber are properly adjusted).
