We have not tested the EP150 directly but your theory that a low rolling resistance tire should offer lighter steering is a good one. That said, the difference a tire can make to overall steering weight is pretty small so don't expect a drastic change!

As listed on Tire Reviews, the Ecopia EP150 is a summer tire. While it is fine for 3 seasons in Paris, it will not perform in snow and ice so if you need this capability you should fit an all season or winter tire.
Is this tire strong or it can be cut easily
August 12, 2017
As a low rolling resistance tire the Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 will have thinner sidewalls than "normal" tires, which could mean it punctures more easily than you are used to.

Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 62 reviews

Owners of the Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 most often discuss tread life and wet grip, with markedly different experiences in both. Longer-term wear reports lean favorable but range from early replacement to substantial service. Dry grip attracts more praise than criticism, and comfort is a consistent positive among those who mention it. Wet-grip praise slightly outnumbers complaints, but dissatisfied drivers describe enough loss of confidence that it cannot be called a shared strength. Around a quarter of owners criticise road noise, while fuel-economy opinions are divided. Repeat reviews do not show a consistent change with age.

Excellent tires! They offer great grip and handling in corners, perform very well in wet conditions and provide excellent traction in the rain. They are also very durable and long-lasting. Highly recommended!

Not exciting but safe, with low rolling resistance and comfort-focused. Perfect for a touring application on a Toyota Corolla.

Initial Impressions

Extremely noisy tires especially when worn. Low grip in dry and significantly in wets conditions, causal wheel spin off the line during an average commute. Far too expensive for the quality and performance you recieve and would not recommend or consider repurchasing instead, Michelin Primacy 5 is a far superior option for my type of vehicle.

I have driven 40,000 km, I got them installed on a new Toyota Corolla 1.5, I drive a little above average dynamically mostly on out-of-town roads and highways. They are good for average driving in the rain carefully, wear is satisfactory, they are quite loud, I have not had any defects, I will not buy them again, the price is high compared to the competition, now they still have 1-2 mm to the mark worn.

Really comfy tire, good wear, but at 32 psi I would lose traction in wet conditions without even going full throttle, in first and second gear, also in dry conditions sometimes. If turning a bit fast in the wet the tire just don't grip that well and understeer a quiet a bit more than what I would be comfortable with. This tire is good if u want something comfortable that would last a decent time and you don't push or throw your car around

Ive used this tire for 32 miles / 65KM and it was very good overall compared to my aggressive driving style with sharp maneuvering and high speeds on highways reaching 180km/hr, it was very good in dry asphalt conditions, good in wet with easy comfort driving supposedly we should be careful in wet conditions, very good in handling as the wear is very good as it lasted till 32 miles without cracking or tearing apart. However there are better model options from Hankook ventuse prime 3 ive used for the same milage that I highly recommend.

It’s definitely a comfort-biased tire, an OE set on a Toyota Corolla. The wet grip is nice and especially the rolling resistance is good, with very little feedback from the steering. The wear isn’t great but it probably had a very low starting tread depth anyway, so I won’t buy it again as I think there are more longer-lasting touring tires out there that’ll provide a more engaging driving experience.

Ecopia 150 is a fuel economy tire with less rolling resistance. So, do not expect this tire to well perform in wet weather! I got this experience from a minor accident during rainny days. Now, I am changing to Dunlop SP Sport J6

I love these tires, bought my car with them, my car is over 4 years old with 90 000km's and the tires are close to being replaced now but not worn.
I've hit so many ugly potholes and where people got flat tires mine is still 100%.
