The Ecopia EP100 is one of
Bridgestone's ecologically oriented Grand Touring Summer
tires developed for coupe and sedan drivers looking to
combine traction, handling and comfort with reduced
environmental impact. Ecopia EP100 tires are designed to
enhance vehicle fuel economy by reducing tire rolling
resistance along with the vehicle's carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions during operation. The Ecopia EP100 is designed for
dry and wet conditions, but like all summer tires is not
intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through
snow or on ice.
The Ecopia EP100 employs a tread compound that applies
Bridgestone's unique NanoPro-Tech (Nanostructure-Oriented
Properties Control Technology) to reduce rolling resistance
and energy loss while maintaining wet traction. This
compound is molded into a symmetric tread design featuring
rib-linked blocks nestled close together to provide uniform
footprint pressure combined with high-angle, lateral grooves
to further enhance braking in wet conditions. The tire also
features three-dimensional (3D) curves on the tread block
surface to suppress noise generated when the block is in
contact with the road. |
