Product description & features
The Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 has been developed with electric and hybrid vehicles in mind.
The tyre has been designed to deliver vastly reduced levels of rolling resistance to minimise the level of energy required to roll.
The Ecopia EP500 features a four-rib asymmetric tread pattern, for strong grip in both wet and dry conditions.
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.
