The Ecopia H/L 422 Plus is Bridgestone's environmentally conscious Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of crossovers, light trucks and SUVs who want to maximize their vehicle's fuel economy while minimizing its impact on the environment. The Ecopia H/L 422 Plus is designed to provide optimum comfort, long life and sure-footed traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even light snow.
The symmetric tread pattern of the Ecopia H/L 422 Plus features closely-spaced elements and has been optimized to resist irregular wear while delivering a smooth and quiet experience. The continuous center and intermediate ribs provide solid on-center feel, along with confident dry braking. Full-depth grooves help retain wet traction over the life of the tire, and the engineered block design aids braking in wet conditions. Four wide, circumferential grooves allow water to flow through the contact patch to resist hydroplaning, and multiple lateral notches and sipes create biting edges that deliver traction in low-grip conditions.
Construction of the Ecopia H/L 422 Plus features Bridgestone's environmentally-conscious, Ecopia technology, with a focus on sustainability through the reduced use of raw materials, low rolling resistance, long tire life and a reduction in vehicles' carbon dioxide emissions. The internal construction includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon on top of a polyester casing.
El neumático Ecopia H/L 422 Plus pertenece a la categoría: Turismo Para Toda Estación (Crossover/SUV) y es uno de los neumáticos de Bridgestone fabricados con conciencia del impacto ambiental. Fue fabricado para conductores de utiliautos (crossovers), camiones ligeros y utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés), que desean maximizar el consumo de gasolina, a la vez, de minimizar el impacto en el medioambiente. El diseño del Ecopia H/L 422 Plus proporciona un confort óptimo, longevidad y una tracción estable sobre superficies secas, mojadas y en condiciones invernales, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve.
El patrón simétrico del Ecopia H/L 422 Plus contiene elementos ubicados muy cerca y ha sido optimizado para resistir un desgaste irregular, mientras proporciona una experiencia tranquila y pareja. El segmento continuo y los intermedios proporcionan un sentimiento sólido de estar centrado, a la vez de confianza, al frenar sobre superficies secas. Cuatro canales circunferenciales anchos, permiten que el agua fluya a través del área de contacto con la carretera para resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), mientras que, múltiples surcos laterales y pequeñas ranuras sobre los bloques, crean los bordes adherentes necesarios para obtener tracción sobre superficies resbalosas.
La construcción del Ecopia H/L 422 Plus utiliza la tecnología Ecopia de Bridgestone, la cual, minimiza el impacto al medio ambiente, enfocándose en la reducción de materia prima, baja resistencia al rodar, longevidad del neumático y la reducción de emisiones de dióxido de carbono del vehículo. La construcción interna cuenta con correas gemelas de acero, reforzadas por nailon envuelto en espiral por encima de una estructura de poliéster.

...excellent wet traction...
Honda Element use, much better than the oem supplied tires. Lasted almost double the mileage that OEM did. Great in the snow, excellent wet traction, good in the corners. No complaints. I drove in the mountains and in the wine country and they were totally predictable. Compared to the next set of tires I bought: Michelin Premier Michelin’s had better traction all around and were better handling, but not by much. They only lasted as long as my OEM. So, by comparison the ecopias are a better bang for the buck. My third set I am on now are the Michelin LTX Defender because of the rave reviews. Handling on those is nowhere near as good as the Ecopia or Premier. They have really good traction as well and supposedly last much longer than the Premier. As for the LTX I have no complaints whatsoever besides handing.

...I am pleased to say I am satisfied with the tire's performance in dry and wet conditions...
This is an update to the tire review I submitted in October 2023. At that time, I had put on 5,000 miles (8,000 km) after purchasing them as (almost new) runoffs from a BMV SUV.
I have driven 21,200 miles (approximately 34,000 km) since I purchased them 12 months ago. I am pleased to say I am satisfied with the tire's performance in dry and wet conditions. The car handles very well. The tread wear is also good, with 8/32 remaining, per the latest Mazda dealership service report. Being a V-rated tire, I don't drive them in winter; neither did I with the OEM Dunlop SP5000. They both don't handle well in snow or ice. The tires have become slightly noisier, but not enough to bother me. Considering I saved almost C$1,000 by buying them as runoffs, I would purchase them again at the same price. They should be ok, I think, for another two years or 30,000 miles, about the same mileage I got from the Dunlops.

...We have been getting a lot of rain and these tires just shrug it off. No signs of hydroplaning and corning pretty much seems the same as dry corning so far...
So far I am very impressed with these tires. We have been getting a lot of rain and these tires just shrug it off. No signs of hydroplaning and corning pretty much seems the same as dry corning so far. Tires are very quiet and do a good job of muting even noisy roads. Extremely smooth at all speeds. Have not gotten a chance to use them in the snow. Will update the review when the time comes. These tires also seem to live up to the "ecopia" name. MPG has not decreased vs the worn out tires. Which is impressive.

Most customers rate dry traction highly with scores of 9s and 10s, highlighting confident grip and responsive handling for Crossover/SUVs. While a few lower scores exist, the Ecopia H/L 422 Plus delivers reliable performance in its intended all-season use.

...The handle great, very sporty feel...
These tires have the best tread wear of any tire I’ve ever owned. They have 65000 miles on them now. I’m probably going with these tires again. The handle great, very sporty feel. I’ve never once hydroplaned or slid on wet roads. They go great in the snow. I recommend these to anyone.

Most customers rate comfort highly, with many scoring 9s and 10s for smooth ride and low noise. High marks in these areas suggest excellent refinement for crossover/SUV touring, aligning well with its all-season touring design. A few lower scores (0-6) indicate isolated concerns but don't overshadow overall positive feedback.

With scheduled tire rotations, I got 53000 miles on these tires when I was told within 3000 miles, I should look at replacing them due to current wear. Great tires with outstanding performance through all seasons. Will be buying them again for my 2nd set on my 2019 Equinox.

...Road noise has always been quiet, performance great, and tread is still in tact after 6 years and 46,000 miles...
These are the OEM tires on our 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland and have held up phenomenally. Road noise has always been quiet, performance great, and tread is still in tact after 6 years and 46,000 miles. Reading these reviews is making us excited for our next tire which rates much higher than this model. Only looking at new tires due to their age more than the mileage.

Winter traction shows concerning scores, with many ratings between 0-5 citing slippery snow performance and getting stuck. Some 7-10s exist, but the Ecopia H/L 422 Plus disappoints in all-season winter handling, lacking reliable grip.

...Could barely drive in light snow, wouldn't even attempt driving if it was more than 3 inches of snow. Living in New Hampshire during the winter was basically every snow storm. Would not recommend these tires for anything.
Worse tires I've ever had. Had to put my 2018 GMC Terrain in AWD for light rain. Could barely drive in light snow, wouldn't even attempt driving if it was more than 3 inches of snow.

Worse tire I've ever had on my 2018 GMC Terrain. Have to put vehicle in AWD just to drive in light to moderate rain or it would loose traction and hydroplane. No traction in even light snow.
