The Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia is one of Bridgestone's ecologically oriented Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tires developed for the drivers of small- and medium-sized crossover and sport utility vehicles looking to combine year-round traction, handling and comfort with reduced environmental impact. Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia tires are designed to enhance vehicle fuel economy by reducing tire rolling resistance* along with the vehicle's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions while delivering year-round all-season traction, even in light snow.
The Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia uses an all-season tread compound featuring Bridgestone's unique NanoPro-Tech (Nanostructure-Oriented Properties Control Technology) to reduce rolling resistance and energy loss while maintaining dry, wet and wintertime traction.
This compound is molded into a symmetric tread design that combines notched shoulders and intermediate ribs with independent center blocks for dry road tracking and traction. Four circumferential grooves are designed to help water flow from under the footprint to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction while notches and sipes increase the edges that bite into light snow. The tire sidewalls feature Bridgestone's Fuel Saver compound to further increase efficiency.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon on top of a polyester casing to blend ride comfort and durability.
*Specific sizes featuring Ecopia technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's Specs tab.

El neumático Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia es uno de los neumáticos de orientación ecológica de Bridgestone y pertenece a la categoría: Turismo Para Toda Estación (Crossover/SUV). Fue desarrollo para conductores de vehículos pequeños, utiliautos medianos (crossover) y utilitarios deportivos, que buscaban combinar tracción durante las cuatro estaciones del año, maniobrabilidad y confort, con un impacto reducido sobre le medio ambiente. El Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia ha sido diseñado para mejorar el consumo de gasolina del vehículo al reducir la resistencia al rodar*, al igual que disminuir la emisión de dióxido de carbono (CO2) durante su uso, todo esto manteniendo la tracción durante todas las estaciones del año, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve.
El Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia utiliza un compuesto de caucho para toda estación que cuenta con la tecnología NanoPro-Tech (Tecnología Nanostructure-Oriented Proporties Control) de Bridgestone, para reducir la resistencia al rodar y pérdida de energía, al mismo tiempo de mantener la tracción sobre superficies secas, mojadas o durante el invierno.
Este compuesto de caucho es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento simétrica que combina hombros cóncavos y segmentos intermedios con tacos o bloques centrales e independientes, para continuar en línea recta y tener tracción sobre carreteras secas. Cuatro canales circunferenciales han sido diseñados para sacar el agua al hacer contacto con la carretera, lo cual ayuda a resistir el deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning) y mejorar la tracción sobre superficies mojadas. Muescas y pequeñas ranuras (sipes) sobre los bloques o tacos, aumentan los bordes adherentes para un mejor agarre sobre superficies con poca nieve. Los flancos o paredes posee el compuesto de caucho Fuel Saber que ayuda a mejorar la eficiencia del consumo de gasolina aún más.
La estructura interna incluye correas gemelas de acero reforzadas con nailon envuelto en espiral, por encima de un armazón de poliéster, y así, combinar durabilidad y un andar confortable.

Everyone must be too busy driving.
CUVs and SUVs may not be the most efficient vehicles, but they can benefit from riding on more fuel-efficient tires. We evaluated three of the newest energy efficient tires for these vehicles. All feature the latest tread compound/internal design technology to minimize rolling resistance and maintain traction/road manners.

Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tires pay the obvious benefits when it comes to filling your tank at the gas station. But that's not the whole story. You have to drive on these tires everyday, too, including in the snow and on the ice. We brought tires from this category to Sweden with us to learn how well they'll do during the winter driving season.
