Bridgestone Ecopia Highway Luxury

Was recommended these tyres by Jax for my Santa Fe to replace the OE Nexen N8000s which had 58,000 km, including 18,000 km towing a caravan around Australia. Very disappointed with the tyres and with Jax for recommending a sub-par replacement. Comfort is just ok, handling is ok wet and dry - but wear is atrocious! 35,000 km of mostly highway driving (no towing) and they are ready to be replaced. Show details

Worst tyres ever. Noisy at 100ks and due to have a stiff sidewall, they are uncomfortable to drive on - constant vibration. I even had my suspension checked because I thought there was an issue but had it confirmed it was just due to how hard the tyres are. Would never buy these again. Just annoying I have to put up with them now until they are worn. Show details

Don’t waste your Money – I have done 1300km on these tyres and need replacement. Went for tyre rotation at 7000km and told by Bridgestone dealer they don’t need rotating. Check them myself today and front left down to indicators. Psi correct and car was wheel aligned when tyres fitted. Tyre has worn evenly but worn out. Terrible tyre will not by another and please people don’t waste your money on this rubbish Wade Carter Show details

Not usual Bridgestone quality – Update April 2025 Have recently replaced again on my latest 2024 Toyota Kluger Hybrid AWD, can report I got 44000 KMs out of last set on previous 2022 Kluger, but they were very noisy and slippery at the end. Have bought again as replacement on latest 2024 Kluger as still better than OEM Toyos and are reasonable value if bought on 4 for 3 promo.… Read more

------------------------------

Replaced the OE Toyo A34 tyres on a 22 Toyota Kluger Hybrid AWD with the HL 001 in 235/65 18 size. Grip in wet is good, but tyre is soft in walls even at 40psi, much more rolly and fuel economy after 5000ks in the car has increased nearly 10%. Had them on a previous 20 Santa Fe and had a similar problem with increased fuel use. Wear looks to be similar to the OE Toyos would guess probably 40 to 45,000 kilometers but as I said very soft tyre in the walls and the increased fuel economy even at higher tyre pressures is a big worry. Alas Bridgestone Tyres don't seem to be what they used to be, particularly the ones coming out of factories in Thailand

Not a good product. Don’t waste your money – I would not recommend these tyres for either their fuel saving ability, or their longevity. I bought this tyre to see if it would save fuel as per its name. Not only did it not save any money, but they wore out much quicker than the cheaper tyres I normally put on. I had to replace them in under 15 months and less than 30,000km driven. I normally… Read more

get much longer out of my tyres, but they are so worn that when I went for the most recent tyre check and balance, the tyre shop told me the rear 2 tyres were so worn that they could not in good conscience rotate them, and that I should replace them within 2 weeks.

Great day-to-day tyres – I am on my second set of these Bridgestone Ecopia tyres on my Subaru Forester. They currently have over 60 000 km on them and still have about a third of the tread pattern remaining. My previous set gave me around 75 000 Km before I changed them. When I read the reviews on this page about the tyres not lasting, I can only wonder what could have… Read more

happened to cause that. These reviews do not reflect my own experience at all and I have no complaints with the durability on these other than to say the replacement tyres never last the same distance as the ones that are supplied with the car when new. I was able to achieve around 100 000 km on the first set of tyres.

Beware lasted less than 17000kms on a 2016 Ford territory – I bought as a set of 4 Ecopia H/L 001 tyres at a cost of $836 & had a $69 wheel alignment done at the same time by Bridgestone. I bought these specifically because I was told they were suitable for my vehicle and a vast improvement on and much better wearing than all previous Ecopia tyres. A visit for my third tyre rotation (slightly overdue)… Read more

revealed all 4 tyres needed replacing. 3 were very warn & 1 was completely scrubbed out. These tyres which had been rotated at approx 5000 km lasted less that 6 months & travelled a total of only 16816 kms. I can only assume the tyres are faulty or the Bridgestone team messed up my wheel alignment. In 40 years of car ownership I have never purchased a tyre with such a low durability as the Bridgestone Ecopias H/L 001, including cheap retreads purchased during the 1980s. To Bridgestones credit they offered a free wheel alignment check and sold me another 4 tyres, still with no guarantees offered ...... but I really dont feel it was compensation enough.

2023 update - After some advice I have since moved across to Toyo (open country) tyres, still going strong 50.000 km later. I have come to the conclusion Bridgestone do not make a suitable 17 inch tyre for Ford Territorys

Wish I had sooner – Now I realise my mistake of getting all-terrain tires on my Honda CRV 9 years ago. Now with these 4 new tires: there is no latency when I brake, no fishtailing around tight corners, no additional concerns on wet roads, and no increasing stereo volume to overcome noisey tires. These tires appear to be of good quality that are not going to wear down… Read more

quickly or pop at slightest bump. I’m very impressed & keen to drive my car for another 9 years just to experience what I’ve been missing out on. Note: my previous old Bridgestone all-terrain tires may have not been suited for my car & purposes but lasted 9years & over 85,000km.
