Bridgestone  Ecopia EP422

I replaced a set of Bridgestone Turanza w/Serenity with 35k miles which may have had a bad belt. I bought the Ecopia for the high treadwear rating and 60k warranty. After 6 weeks in dry & wet driving these tires are excellent. Handling is super, quiet, & smooth. In heavy storms this past weekend the tires were solid, no hydroplaning, excellent grip with a fast stop, and no slipping on fast , wet starts. I could not be more pleased with these tires.

Purchased the car at 120,000... now has 140,000. Have had the EP422s on for the last 5,000 miles. Much improved over the Integrity tires that came with the car. Better traction, especially in wet conditions, and very quiet.

Now when I rated this tire as a 8 in wet traction... I'm taking into consideration that this is relatively small tire, and comparing it to other tires I have driven of a similar size. In my case I'm not driving a sports car so I don't expect it to handle like a sports car.

Also (very important) we experienced no change in fuel mileage. This was a big concern for us. We drive a mix of highway / country roads for the daily transit and consistently get 43 - 45 MPG. (before and after the EP422s)

I considered other tires that would have had more traction, but I was very concerned about losing MPG... I felt we should get a LRR tire. I think we made the right choice, and we are very happy with the purchase.

Summary: Would recommend to other Prius owners and would purchase again.

Dry traction is very good.

I have 103,000 miles on my 2008 Prius. This is the third set of tires and by far the best. The initial OEM tires needed to be replaced at 28 K. The next set were extremely loud and dropped my mpg about 15 %. Switched to the Bridgestone's and have loved them since. Great dry traction and wet. I don't drive my Prius in the snow so no experience there. Getting ready to buy a new set.

After about 1000 miles, these tires have definitely exceeded expectations, they are much, much quieter and ride comfort has increased a good amount compared to the OEM tires on my Accord (Dunlop SP 7000). They even performed better on corners and felt more responsive compared to the Dunlop OEMs, but still won't blow you away. Gas mileage seems to has increased about 1MPG but the ride comfort/noise level is what made these tires worth it.

Put these on my wife's car . The ride is great and the road noise is really great you can hold a conversion now with out yelling at each other . I will have to buy tires for my Camry Hybird in about 6 months and these are what I will get . Plus her mileage has increased 4 miles to the gallon

The Ecopia EP422 is an excellent grand touring tire with low rolling resistance. It's particularly well suited to cars like the Toyota Camry that aren't overtly sporty. Other than LRR, the most noteworthy characteristics (to me, anyway) of the tires in their first 900 miles of use have been the fine ride quality and low levels of noise.

The tires felt a little "floaty" when first installed but after a short time have broken in and performed great. I have driven in fairly heavy rain and had no issues. The ride feels smoother than the previous/factory tires. These are the new tire for my car unless they don't wear good over time; so far so good.

I have 65K miles on these tires and they will easily outlast the 70K mile warranty. They get great gas mileage, last along time and do well on traction. They aren't high performance sport tires so if you want cornering speed try a performance tire. If you want a tire that performs very well, last a long time and get good gas mileage these please consider these tires.

Had these for 30K miles and they're about 50% tread left. Quiet tire with good traction. Overall I would buy them again.

This is my third review of these tires. As with the previous reviews, I would give these tires a 9.5/10 on all counts. Quiet, smooth, brakes well on dry and wet surfaces, cornering good given the size and suspension of the car. Unfortunately, hardly any snow this winter, but what we had, the tires were great. I also put these tires on a 2009 Sion xB, and the wear on both cars has been excellent. I have the tires rotated and alignment checked every oil change. I highly recommend the Ecopia tires.

I have a real love / hate relationship with these tires. I love the handling and responsiveness in most conditions. Very quietI think if I lived in the south I would rate these Ecopias a "10" across the board. However I really dislike these tires during snow and winter conditions. I am an experienced driver in winter conditions, the Subaru is AWD and still I feel the car sliding and loosing grip often in snowy. I am not sure if its the tread pattern, rubber compound or design.
Tread life seems very good so I have no need to replace them.

The tires were O.E. on my new 2016 VW Golf Sportwagon. When I purchased the car I immediately got larger wheels and summer performance tires, purchased from Tire Rack, which I installed immediately . I swapped them back to the O.E. all-season Bridgestones in early Nov. with the arrival of colder weather. What a huge change for the worse! After driving about 1,000 for a month my patience wore out. They break traction on wet roads when pushed only slightly. I have absolutly no confidence in them. The steering response is poor. They are noisy. I purchased a set of Pirelli winter tires and wheels and the car feels like it handles well again. I know that it seems somewhat unfair to compare them to performance tires, but the Bridgestones were just terrible.
