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.

  • Summer tyre for BMW i3

Up to this point, everything's been fine. It's a bit early to say how they will hold up with wear.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 195/50R20 93T XL
The tyres are fine. There are no other options for this car in this size, which limits choices and increases expense. I have never experienced anything like this in over 40 years of having cars.

The grip on these are excellent! In my opinion, they provide confidence in dry, wet, and even snowy conditions!

At first, they were great, but then for no reason the rubber ripped apart, and I have no idea why.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 195/50R20 93T XL
Performs excellently in both dry and wet conditions. Have not tested in snow. I have a rear-wheel-drive BMW, so I doubt they will be great in snow, but that does not take away from them being exceptional summer tyres.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Ecopia EP500 195/50R20 93T XL
During handling in dry conditions even cooler temperatures are fine. They are okay during wet conditions between 2-7C, but below 2C it gets a little less reliable. Naturally, winter or all-season tyres would be a wiser option in those conditions.
