Product description & features

Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 is a summer tyre designed for the BMW i3’s tall, narrow, tyre-and-wheel assembly. Along with other electric vehicles, an assembly like this reduces energy loss from rolling resistance and drag. Bridgestone ologic technology uses a large diameter with a narrow tread to cut aerodynamic resistance and rolling energy loss. That construction provides a narrow band of tread across the road, forming the unique profile needed for its original applications.

The EP500 is original equipment for the electric BMW i3, which was designed with this tall, narrow layout. Some versions of the EP500 even feature the BMW star on the sidewall, meaning they were made to BMW’s custom specs for this vehicle, and thus, should be matched if the star is present. The Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 is available at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Summer tyre for BMW i3
  • Tall, narrow tyre profile
  • Large diameter, narrow tread
  • BMW star sidewall versions

Tyre review for Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 175/55R20 89Q XL
I haven't tested them in the winter because they aren't winter tyres, but they've performed well on wet and dry roads.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 175/55R20 89Q XL
The car drives noticeably better now. The previous tyres didn't have tread wear that would be considered bad, but putting new ones on this small vehicle has made a huge difference in its comfort and handling.

They are average. There are not a lot of choices for a BMW i3, so they sort of win by default.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 175/55R20 89Q XL
I think the wet performance of the tyres is poor because of the heavy weight of the fully electric car and the narrow width of the tyres.
