Not bad tyres if pavement is dry – I bought these about two years ago from Bridgestone but have only driven about 5,000 km since period coincided with COVID pandemic. * Positives: good vehicle handling and excellent performance in dry asphalt. * Negatives: poor get grip to the point vehicle will slide while loosing control. * Unknown: I haven't measured tyre wear so I cannot… Read more
report it. Conclusion: I will definitely will not buy them again because of the safety risk under wet conditions. I will definitely check other tyre reviews before making my next purchase.
Terrible in the Wet – Put these 175 70 R14 tyres on my wife's 2014 Yaris given the test results and having owned previous Bridgestone tyres. While they are quiet and are wearing ok after 30,000kms, since the tyres were new the car feels like it's on skates in the wet. The pressures are always checked and the tyres rotated and wheels aligned. Given the good wet weather… Read more
rating on their site, I sent an email to Bridgestone asking why the tyres are so bad in the wet - no reply. Very disappointed and we won't be buying Bridgestone tyres again
Excellent tyres – Reliable tyres for a small car like mine. Noted a significant drop with noises while the car is on the road compared to the last tyres being fitted. Nil complains Show details
Disapponted – I would have thought, as other on the website, that these tyres would last greater than 30,000km. These tyres are carefully maintained, with 10,000 km rotations, and light suburban travels. Again came with a new car... Show details
Great first impression and then nope – UPDATE: Jan 2025 After 40,000kms, these became hard as rocks and were horrible to drive on. Plenty of tread left on them, but OMG, they have become horrible. Getting rid of them. Original text below I have just swapped out the OEM Kuhmo Solus KH17 which only lasted 30,000km with Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 purchased on a Buy 4/Get 1 free deal. … Read more
First impressions were good compared to the original tyres. Ride quality feels more supple and noise is signficantly less. I cannot comment on the longevity so will be interesting to see how these go but felt it worth sharing early due to the obvious driving improvements noticed straight away . I run the tyres at 36PSI
Short life tyres – These tyres came with a new car, however they only last 28,000km, in less three years period time. I expected they could run 4-50,000km like others even those unknown brands. I gently drove the car in the city like past 20+ years, checked the tyres pressure regularly, rotated the tyres every 10,000km, never overloaded. Finally I had not found… Read more
uneven tread wearing when replacing them --- no wheel alignment issue. very disappointed about Bridgestone in terms of durability. I have bought another brand of tyres. The positive side is comfy ride, quiet.
Very nice price – Paid around $250 for 4 tires including wheel aliment. Which is very cheap for such a good brand and quality. One of the cheapest I could found. The claims about better fuel efficiency seem reasonable. Long warranty provided by the manufacturer.The tires perform really well on both wet or dry surface.
Noticable Change For The Better In Fuel Economy When Cruising – These tyres definitely live up to the claim of better fuel economy but only when cruising. In stop-go traffic there is little difference in economy. Pros: - Big change in fuel economy when cruising from and at best of a tad over 500 km per tankful on E10 to easily over 600 km. - No change (read loss) in grip compared to standard tyres. Cons:… Read more
- Seem to be eating the outside edge of the front tyres on my Front Wheel Drive buzz box. Increasing the front tyre pressure is a must as is more frequent rotation of the tyres.
- No real noticeable change in fuel economy in stop/start city driving. I suspect the cut & thrust of city driving doesn't give the tyre a chance to do what it's designed to do.
