Bridgestone releases new truck tires

Bridgestone has introduced the Bridgestone R273 Ecopia tires for regional hauling and the Bridgestone Duravis M705 for fleets that deliver goods on the last mile in the American market. Both novelties are made using the Enliten technology, which allows for increased environmental friendliness of tires, including through weight reduction, without compromising strength and other characteristics. 

The Bridgestone R273 Ecopia, designed for the steer axle of tractors, has become the second regional tire in the brand's lineup made using the Enliten technology. The new rubber compound and tread pattern have helped reduce wear on the shoulder areas and overall increase the tire's lifespan, while the optimized carcass design has ensured reduced rolling resistance. The novelty is available in six sizes with diameters of 22.5 and 24.5 inches.

In turn, the Duravis M705 has also become more durable compared to the previous generation tires - Bridgestone M724 - thanks to the block-rib tread pattern with 3D lamellas. In addition, the tires have received the 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) marking and will help customers deliver goods on time in winter conditions. The tires were released on the market last year in sizes with a diameter of 16 inches, and in the second half of 2025, three additional sizes will be released: 215/75 R17.5, 225/70 R19.5, and 245/70 R19.5.

“The new R273 Ecopia and Duravis M705, made using the Enliten technology, confirm that Bridgestone continues to work on improving the characteristics of its products with regard to sustainable development goals,” said Steve Hoelt, President of Bridgestone Americas' truck tire division. "These tires also demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, under which we use real-world testing data to not only improve the efficiency of our fleet customers but also implement new environmental practices in the tire industry."
