Product description & features
The Bridgestone Ecopia EP001S was one of the first tyres to be awarded the A rating for wet grip when the EU Tyre Labels were launched.
As well as providing motorists with a reliable, safe performance in wet conditions the Ecopia EP001S works to reduce your car's carbon footprint thanks to a specially designed low rolling resistance tread compound.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
