The Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus is a grand touring all-season tire designed for drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans, and small crossover vehicles. It distinguishes itself within the touring tire category by prioritizing fuel efficiency and longevity, without sacrificing all-season traction and a comfortable ride.
This tire utilizes an enhanced all-season tread compound featuring Bridgestone's NanoPro-Tech, which reduces rolling resistance and energy loss. This technology contributes to improved fuel economy and reduced carbon emissions. The symmetric tread design combines notched shoulders and intermediate ribs with independent center blocks for enhanced dry road tracking and handling. Four circumferential grooves are designed to help water flow from under the footprint to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. Notches and sipes increase the edges that bite into light snow.
The Ecopia EP422 Plus provides confident handling and a quiet, comfortable ride. An optimized contact footprint evenly distributes pressure across the tire surface, promoting consistent tread wear and extending tire life. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon on top of a polyester casing to blend ride comfort and durability.
With a UTQG treadwear rating of 600, the Ecopia EP422 Plus is engineered for long-lasting performance. Drivers can expect dependable all-season performance, even in light snow conditions.
