FAQ
Does the Ecopia EP150 really save fuel?
Yes, it is designed to. Bridgestone gave the EP150 low rolling resistance with the ECOPIA compound, which reduces friction and energy loss, but the manufacturer has not published a percentage figure. Actual results depend on the car, tire pressure and driving style.
Can the Ecopia EP150 be used on electric vehicles?
Yes. Bridgestone Thailand says the EP150 is EV Ready, for both combustion-engine cars and electric vehicles, and its list of recommended cars includes the BYD Dolphin.
What cars is the Ecopia EP150 for?
Small to midsize cars, eco cars and MPVs on 13–17 inch rims. Bridgestone Thailand recommends it for many models, such as the Toyota Yaris Ativ, Honda City, Honda Jazz, Nissan Almera, Mitsubishi Xpander, Suzuki Swift and MG 5.
Where is the Ecopia EP150 made?
It is a Bridgestone tire, a Japanese brand founded in 1931 in Kurume, Fukuoka, and headquartered in Tokyo. In Thailand, Bridgestone has a passenger car tire plant in Nong Khae, Saraburi, but Bridgestone Thailand's product page does not state the country of manufacture for this model.
How did it do in independent tests?
Well. In ADAC's (Germany) 2014 summer tire test in size 175/65 R14, the Ecopia EP150 ranked 4th of 16. ADAC called it well balanced, with the top score on dry roads and good results on wet roads, but slightly higher fuel use and faster wear than the leaders. In ADAC's 2011 test in size 195/65 R15 it ranked 2nd of 14. Both were European tests using European-market sizes.
What are the EU tire label grades of the Ecopia EP150?
They vary a lot by size and spec. In the EU EPREL database, the Ecopia EP150 ranges from A to E for rolling resistance, A–D for wet grip and 67–71 dB for noise. For example, some specs of size 185/65R15 88H rate A for rolling resistance, B for wet grip and 70 dB. This data is for tires sold in Europe.
What warranty does the Ecopia EP150 have?
Every tire bought from Subphaisal is covered by the manufacturer against manufacturing defects for 2 years or 50,000 km, for both store pickup and delivery. See the warranty page for details.
