Bridgestone Ecopia EP600. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Fuel efficient performance; Enhanced controllability; . OVERVIEW: The Bridgestone Ecopia EP600 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire ensures first-rate all weather traction. It manages to combine the all season compound with the asymmetric tread design with the detailed siping pattern. The all season tire compound maintains the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting the model. The asymmetric detailed pattern increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the year. The tread's symmetric pattern channels water and slush from below the footprint. This helps the tire avoid hydroplaning by keeping its contact with the road surface at all times.The model provides a fuel efficient performance with the special ologic technology. This technology succeeds in lowering the tire's rolling resistance by combining the larger diameter tire with the narrow tread pattern. This minimizes the energy loss as it ensures the tire's ideal shape does not deform, while offering a smaller road contact area. In this manner, the model significantly decreases the rolling resistance, which is the pressure determining the vehicle's energy consumption during the drive. As a result, the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emissions are reduced, promoting a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly performance.The Ecopia EP600 is easily controlled in all weather. The narrow footprint closely follows the road surface at all times. This manages to improve the steering responsiveness and accuracy to the driver's instructions and the structure's driving stability under the driving pressure. The asymmetric tread's larger outer shoulder tread block placement boosts the cornering capability. These blocks enhance the cornering and maneuvering ability by increasing the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The high siping density creates friction between the tire and the road surface, which improves the braking ability and shortens the braking distance. This combination guarantees a safer controllability in all conditions. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
