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.

Day to day the tire suits the car, with decent grip in both dry and wet conditions. At town speeds the steering feels direct but has little road feel. This becomes more acute when cruising at higher speeds on roads with curves and undulations.
The worst problem has been the rate of wear.
After 6000 miles the front tires have both lost a minimum of 2mm of tread across the full width of each tire and the outside edge of the nearside tire has lost 3mm.
The rear tires have lost 1mm generally but nearly 2mm on the outside edge of the nearside wheel. After a four wheel alignment showed the suspension was all within manufacturers tolerances, it was suggested that persistent high speed cornering around right hand bends was the possible cause!
A first example of such wear and suggested cause after 17 long term cars!
Suzuki's recommended 39psi at the front and 36psi at the rear, presumably to facilitate the incredible 66 mpg average we have obtained measured brim to brim, may well be part of the problem. Tire rotation is a short term remedy but long term a more enduring tire is needed such the legendary long lived Michelin products.

These tires are economical and ecological but on the wet road are really dangerous.
If you cross the limit of the grip, you cannot stop sliding. Wear is bad also.
I don't recommend.

Grip, steering precision and comfort are premium-class, but wore out quite quickly (after 20,000km there is still 4 to 5mm left, so it's not too bad). Everything else was great. Driving has been "easy going" mostly, but sometimes I have pushed them harder on curvy country roads and I always accelerate quite fast.

Best summer tires for my avensis T22 so far, I ride aggressively, not avoiding wet/rain, no complaints, maybe only wear, I marked it for 7, because after 2 summers they are nearly out, hopefully they will survive upcoming summer which would be great, otherwise they are perfect. Will buy them again.

Aside from noise (not quieter, perhaps noisier than OE Dunlop SP 2030) and dubious fuel consumption claims (from our experience, fuel consumption is no better or worse than before), these Bridgestones are very good tires. Good grip in the dry and wet, and I can actually get some useful road and steering feedback through the otherwise wimpy Yaris steering system!

Brand new tires fitted to Nissan Pulsar 2013. After only 17,000Km the both front tires had to be replaced. The rear tires are good for only about another 2,000Km. This is after only 6 months of driving. Very unhappy.

I drove with them for about 50.000 km (3 years) mostly on main-roads but also on a variety of other type of roads (all in Greece).
I am very satisfied generally with them. Never had a flat tire or other malfunction (although I 've fallen on nasty potholes, climbed some pavements etc) which is an important aspect to consider. After all this use they sow their age but they still have some more miles to cover before i replace them. (Only) negative: quite noisy for my taste. Would by again: Yes!
